Lab Architecture

This Hands-on Training consists of a simulated network environment with hosts, switches, and an SDN controller using OpenFlow.

Why this Lab?

Practice on different Software-Defined Networking (SDN) use cases: routing, security & load balancing. You will play with the SDN controller and analyze the OpenFlow call flows.
