The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive computer that makes a great addition to everyone's network lab. In fact, you might want to pickup a few of them for your lab. This repository includes some documents I've put together with some ideas on how and where a RPi can be used in a network lab, as well as some quick guides to help you get started quickly. This repository is a work in progress, and some of the guides may not be complete yet.

# Raspberry Pi and Network Lab 

The Raspberry Pi is an inexpensive computer that makes a great addition to everyone's network lab.  In fact, you might want to pickup a few of them for your lab.  

This repository includes some documents I've put together with some ideas on how and where a RPi can be used in a network lab, as well as some quick guides to help you get started quickly.  This repository is a work in progress, and some of the guides may not be complete yet.  

## Raspberry Pi Resources and Overview 

I am not going to try to replace the wonderful official documentation available for getting started and setting up a Raspberry Pi.  If you are new to RPi, here are very useful links to get started.  

* [Raspberry Pi OS Download Tool](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)

* [Raspberry Pi Getting Started Guide](https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/getting-started.html)

# Possible Uses of a Raspberry Pi in a Network Lab

Here are some great uses for an RPi in your network lab.  I'm hoping to create short guides for each of these (and more as I think of them).  Please enjoy the guides that I have put together so far!

* Lab Management Station 

    * Linux 

    * [Console Access](console-access.md) 

    * [Dual Network](network-interface-config.md) 

    * Python / Programmability 

* Client Endpoint (wired/wireless)

* Network Services

    * [DHCP](dhcp-server.md)

    * [DNS](dns-server.md)

    * [Dynamic DNS from DHCP](dynamic-dns.md)

    * File Services (SCP, TFTP, FTP, HTTP)

    * NTP

    * [TACACS](tacacs-server.md)

    * RADIUS

    * Syslog Server

* [Traffic Analysis / Capture](traffic-analysis.md)

* Application Server

    * General Purpose Web Server 

    * Docker / Containers
