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.
R1# configure terminal
R1(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0
R1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
%LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/0, changed state to up
R1(config-if)#
SW1(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Experience a modern networking lab environment — right in your browser
Interactive Network Workspace
Students build and configure real network topologies through CLI terminals — routers, switches, hosts — all in the 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.
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 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.
Inter-VLAN Routing Configuration
Step 3: Configure Trunk Port
Access the interface connecting SW1 to R1 and configure it as a trunk port...
