Why NetMaster
Not another video course —
a real workbench you can rack up on
Since 2006 (China-Node era). We know what working engineers actually need to practice on.
Real hardware, not emulators
Cisco ISR / Catalyst / FTD, plus Red Hat Enterprise Linux — the same gear you'll see on exam day.
Global edge · China direct
200+ Cloudflare POPs worldwide, plus a dedicated mainland China node at labcn.netmasterlab.com (<30ms RTT).
Flexible booking · 4h / 8h
Reserve in 4-hour or 8-hour slots. Access opens automatically at start time, releases at end — no wasted credits.

Trusted by both engineers and training partners
“I used to buy used Cisco gear to build a home lab — heavy, hot, and expensive. NetMaster gives me a 24/7 advanced rack for less than my coffee budget.”

Studying CCIE EI · Beijing
“The AI assistant is a game-changer. Got stuck on a BGP lab for two hours — it gave me three angles to investigate. Turned out a route-map was reversed. I learned 10x more than if it had handed me the answer.”

“We bought 200 redeem codes for our students. The experience beats our own self-hosted environment — and we don't get "I can't connect" tickets anymore.”
