CML/EVE-NG/GNS3 Labs
Packet Tracer is a great learning tools, but many of the limitations prevent me from creating labs I think people would greatly benefit from. Especially, considering some of the topics included in the upcoming CCNA exam version and real world issues. I will be creating CCNA troubleshooting labs for CML, EVE-NG, GNS3 when I am unable create a specific environment in Packet Tracer. While I will work to make the labs 5 nodes or less, for the learners using CML Free version, I cannot guarantee this will always work for what I am trying to achieve.
I make .pka so that labs will self grade; however, I do not have such function on these other platforms. I may try to code a method for leaners to check their solutions against a answer file. I’m even leaning toward something that would require learners to activate their automation skills, in the quest for the answer! We shall see.
