Network Lab Training Factory.
Build, verify, and troubleshoot real topologies.
FirstPassLab is moving from generic training into productized network labs: downloadable topology packs, guided workbooks, answer keys, verification steps, and hosted lab pilots for engineers who learn by doing.
First MVP: VXLAN EVPN Starter Lab Pack for EVE-NG. Stripe checkout opens after package validation.
Why Engineers Use Lab Packs
Repeatable Practice
Each lab pack turns a hard topology into a defined workflow: build, verify, break, troubleshoot, and reset.
Real Engineering Outputs
Workbook tasks, configs, verification commands, and known limitations matter more than generic lessons.
Download First
The MVP starts with a downloadable EVE-NG pack so demand can be validated before hosted infrastructure expands.
Paid Support Boundary
Support is tied to paid products and documented requirements, keeping the business scalable and focused.
Most Network Labs Fail Before The First Useful Verification.
Engineers waste hours stitching together random images, partial configs, stale diagrams, and forum notes before they ever reach a useful packet-flow question.
The product should remove setup confusion, not replace engineering effort.
How The MVP Works
Start With EVE-NG
The first pack targets EVE-NG because it is familiar to lab builders and supports repeatable topology packaging.
Use Structured Workbooks
Each task has an expected outcome, verification command, and answer path so progress is measurable.
State The Requirements
The product page declares supported platforms, required images, hardware expectations, and support boundaries.
Add Hosted Later
Hosted labs begin as a waitlist and manual pilot after the downloadable pack proves demand.

This CLI should feel like home. If it doesn't, we need to talk.
Start With The VXLAN EVPN MVP.
The first downloadable pack focuses on a compact EVE-NG leaf-spine fabric. Review the scope, requirements, and support boundary before checkout opens.
Support starts after payment. Hosted access is deferred until the downloadable pack is validated.
