How many users could playing on a reserved sandbox

[alain.bron]

Hi,

I'm teaching RESTCONF / NETCONF for about 30 students.

Is it possible to use the same reservation (IOS XE on CSR's sandbox ) with all this users (of course with the same credential and increasing vty lines to 30) ?

Best regards

The when you reserve a sandbox the VPN only allows one connection per username/password at a time.

Ok, thanks.

In this case, how many reservations could be done at the same time (with multiples users) ?

I do not know if that request is possible (asking for more than one reservation and also many VPN users to be added to a reservation) to ask for. The FAQ states 

>  All users are configured to allow only one reservation at a time.

I would open a support ticket with the team HERE to see if your request is possible, that a Cisco approval question. 

IMO it would be simpler for the use case you describe for each user to run a local version of XE in vagrant or docker or a cloud version of CML with many devices.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks again for this respons.

Yes, running a local VM is a way, but I was not sure about licencing (I'm using a .iso for my own tests).

Do you know "open" docker release of XE ?
