It is time for a new competition!
For this one, you will need UNetLab, some routers and switches and other good things, and a little imagination (and maybe a paint or design program).
The challenge
Design us a lab. Simple as that.
The lab must have the following:
A PDF file with:
1: A list of the images used, including memory requirements.
2: A number of objectives, clearly stating the level of experience (Beginner, intermediate, Advanced). The objectives should include basic connectivity, some switching, some routing, and some verification. Extra points will be awarded for troubleshooting exercises.
A UNL file with the topology.
Points will be deducted for sending us labs used in real exams (i.e. don’t send us a CCIE lab).

Good point, yes please don't include anything from any vendor! Originality and complexity are good. Push the boundaries within UNL!
