The student pod is accessible through the Cisco Learning Services Lab Portal at https://htdlab.cisco.com.
Each pod has access to the following:
A virtualized Linux management jump host to facilitate access to all routers.
Virtualized routers that are based on Cisco IOS XR and that consist of one PE router and one P routers.
Emulated Cisco 8201 router with Cisco IOS XR Virtual software.
You can access the virtualized Cisco IOS XR routers and emulated Cisco 8201 Series router by using the
Terminal on the jump host. Once you are on the jump host open the Terminal and type in the host name
(lowercase) of the router, this will open the SSH session to the router.
