../../../../_images/logo1.png

This document provides detailed guidance on performing the installation and configuration of the NETLAB+ Multi-Device Pod (MDP) pod on the NETLAB+ system.

This single pod design supports the individual CCNA1: Introduction to Networks v7, CCNA2: Switching, Routing, and Wireless Essentials v7, and CCNA3: Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation v7 labs-series.

The NETLAB+ Multi-Device Pod (MDP) is a versatile pod, which includes 2 routers and 2 switches.

The NETLAB+ Multi-Device Pod (MDP) features direct access to router and switch consoles. Integration with a separate Proxmox VE server supports up to 2 virtual PCs. NETLAB+ can provide remote access to the keyboard, video, and mouse of the Proxmox VE virtual machines in the pod.

NETLAB+ users in a team or instructor-led class can share access to a device console or PC.

Deviations

Remote users may get confused by local deviations from the standard curriculum and labs. The curriculum is relatively complex and offers many opportunities to “make adjustments to the labs”. If your NETLAB+ pods will be made accessible outside your local Academy, you should carefully consider the impact of deviations and substitutions.

Even if your user community is local or relatively small, we recommend that you:

  • Document the specifics of your pods

  • Use the NETLAB+ News and Announcements feature to point users to your documentation.
