## What it is
A collection of free network appliance images (routers, switches, firewalls) from vendors like Cisco, Fortigate, Palo Alto, and Sophos for use with GNS3 and EVE-NG network simulators. It serves as a download hub for building hands-on networking and security lab environments.

## Use cases
- download cisco router images for gns3 labs
- get firewall images like fortigate and palo alto for eve-ng
- set up a home network lab for ccna ccnp practice
- simulate network topologies with real vendor appliance images
- practice network security configurations in a virtual lab
- find qemu images for eve-ng with default credentials

## When to choose
- you need vendor appliance images for GNS3 or EVE-NG lab practice
- you are preparing for networking certifications like CCNA or CCNP
- you want to experiment with firewalls and routers without physical hardware

## When to avoid
- you need images for commercial or production use - licensing restricts them to personal practice
- you require officially licensed or supported vendor images
- you need a network simulator itself rather than images for one

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: simulation, developer-tools
- domain: networking, security, education, developer-tools
- platform: windows, self-hosted
- tags: gns3, eve-ng, cisco-images, network-simulation, firewall-images, qemu-images, network-labs, certification-prep, linux, macos
