Distributed Handlers and Node Adjacency

So with using distributed handlers for scale, we will be able to build quite large labs that for all intents and purposes appear to be all running in the "same space" - is my understanding correct?

I am trying to build a lab today across multiple EVE-NG systems, using a pair of IOSvL2 images and Q-in-Q to provide a means of "attaching" multiple nodes and interfaces from "Lab A" into "Lab B" - thus far without success. I note that Q-in-Q DOES work when the IOSvL2's are in the same lab, just not when they are one in each "Lab". I'm guessing something "breaks" when the two IOSvL2's are physically separated?

I've similarly tried creating VLAN interfaces on my NIC's to achieve the same, with varied success

With distributed handlers, network connections between nodes are automatically connected. This will work even with layer 2.

Use the Network Cloud it works for me Everytime even with different users i can ping the Network

Yeah, I got it working with a one to one relationship, via the dual port NIC card I have in each machine, though for the labs that I'm trying to "join" I need more discrete connections, hence why I was looking to try with Q-in-Q. Another approach I took was to create VLAN Interfaces on the two host machines (Macos High Sierra and Macos Mojave running Fusion), and whilst that seemed to work, it won't pass CDP and STP information through - maybe not a biggy for routed connections, though something still doesn't seem right?

Awesome, thanks for the confirmation #breakintheweb.

With that in mind, do you have an ETA on when you might go public beta? Save me investing in a pile of quad port network cards
