Supported devices and network operating systems
A NetPilot lab runs 15+ real network operating systems on your own lab VM with containerlab: Nokia, FRRouting, Linux, Arista, Juniper, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, HPE Aruba, Dell, SONiC community, MikroTik. The agent designs the topology, writes each vendor's syntax, deploys the devices and reads their CLI output. This page is generated from the same device registry the product uses, so it is current as of 2026-10-10.
Preinstalled on every lab VM
Ready the moment the VM starts. Ask for a lab on these and it deploys without any image step.
| Vendor | Network OS | Image | Role |
