The Hands-On Platform for Teaching Networking

NetGenius combines live network simulation, structured labs, and an AI tutor in one platform — so your students learn by configuring real routers and switches, not just reading about them.

Interactive Network Workspace

Students build and configure real network topologies through CLI terminals — routers, switches, hosts — all in the browser.

No software installation required. Works on any device with a browser.

AI-Powered Tutor

An AI tutor that understands networking context. Students ask about VLANs, trunk port configuration, or debugging — and get immediate, contextual help.

The tutor sees what the student is working on and provides relevant guidance.

What's the difference between a trunk and access port?

Great question!

Access ports carry traffic for a single VLAN — typically connected to end devices like PCs.

Trunk ports carry traffic for multiple VLANs using 802.1Q tagging — used between switches.

SW(config-if)# switchport mode trunk
SW(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20

Structured Labs with Progress Tracking

Pre-built labs with clear objectives, difficulty levels, estimated completion times, and step-by-step instructions.

Instructors can also create custom labs with their own topologies.
