Cisco Networking Lab
Build the network. Then break it.
The Cisco lab is a full networking pod for every student. You configure switches and routers from console, design VLANs and ACLs, troubleshoot OSPF adjacencies, and wire patch panels by hand. By the end of CCNA term, you've stood up a multi-VLAN topology end-to-end at least three times.
