FEATURED LAB

APIC-EM MiniLab

The reservable, hardware-backed MiniLab provides a small network of five devices that is sufficient for most uses. This lab is best suited to learning the APIC-EM GUI, experimenting with the REST API, and working on lighter-weight application-development projects that do not require a larger network.
