Why this Sandbox ?

Experiment with foundational networking concepts, explore device configurations, and understand essential communication protocols. Examples of potential use cases within the Networking Fundamentals Sandbox include creating virtual networks with tools like Mininet, Mininet-WiFi, and Open vSwitch, configuring basic devices such as switches, routers, hosts, and access points, and testing both wired and wireless setups to gain hands-on experience with network structure and operation.

‍

Sandbox Use Cases

• Set up and configure basic network topologies using virtual hosts, switches and routers.
• Practice configuring static IP addresses and basic routing between virtual machines.
• Implement and test basic network services, such as DHCP and DNS, in a virtual network environment.
• Simulate and troubleshoot basic network connectivity issues between virtual machines.
• Explore network security by configuring simple firewall rules and access control lists (ACLs).
• Monitor network traffic and analyze performance using basic tools like ping and traceroute.
• Practice basic Linux commands to manage network configurations and files.
