Lab
Neops ships two independent lab environments. They share nothing — no code, no API, no dependency — and serve different purposes: one runs the whole platform on your own machine, the other provides shared real-topology access for automated tests.
Lab Environments
-
Local Lab
A turn-key local containerlab environment: 10 FRRouting routers and 5 Nokia SR Linux switches with real point-to-point wiring, plus the full Neops control plane on docker compose — everything on one machine.
-
Remote Lab
Run pytest suites against shared Netlab topologies with real network operating systems, coordinated through a FIFO session queue for exclusive access.
