Lab resources for Palo Alto certs?

[ClimbingColorado]

Hello,

I'm interested in studying for and picking up a few Palo Alto certs.  What lab resource do most people use?  I have a friend that recommended picking up a PA-400-LAB to train/study with.  Has anyone used that bundle before?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ClimbingColorado ,

Purchasing a PA-400-LAB license is a great way to test out features first-hand in your home environment. I purchased a PA-220-LAB license for my PCNSE when I used to work for a partner. Additionally, I found EVE-NG to be very helpful in simulating larger networks than my home network. The Net Dev Group also has some basic labs you can follow for the config and management course. 

Good luck!

Hello JayGolf,

The EVE-NG software looks awesome!  I'm familiar with Cisco Modeling Labs, Packet Tracer, and GNS3.  I hadn't ever heard of EVE-NG.  That's a great tip!

Do you have any suggestions on where I could purchase the PA-400-LAB bundle?  I sent a message to Palo Alto's sales department but haven't spoken with anyone yet.

Thanks in advance,

Rob
