HOWTO: Bootstrap EVE-NG Network Lab in VLAN 50

Deploys an EVE-NG Community Edition VM in VLAN 50 — the isolated lab segment — so routing, firewall, and WAN experiments run without touching operational infrastructure. Covers Proxmox provisioning, static IP assignment in VLAN 50, firewall isolation confirmation from operational VLANs, and first lab bring-up in the EVE-NG UI. An optional section covers controlled VLAN trunk experiments.

What this covers:

  • EVE-NG VM provisioning on Proxmox with VLAN 50 isolation as per ADR-0201
  • Firewall rule verification confirming lab VLAN cannot reach operational segments
  • First EVE-NG lab creation with multi-vendor device images and basic routing validation
