The Student Experience
Network creation becomes a hands-on exercise with NetEmulator’s intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Students build topologies in minutes and immediately test configurations by sending packets across devices, turning passive theory into active skill-building. Due to its transparent and intuitive setting, users can observe data packets traversing the network, track their status, and receive real-time feedback on configuration errors. It’s this immediate feedback and very visual experience that allows students to experience the network’s behavior.
This video illustrates a student’s initial step in creating a small network using the LabHUB™ NetEmulator™.
