Sandbox resevation time reduced?

[kaurag]

Hello everyone,

when i was start studying it was possible to reserve the sandbox up to two days without problem.

Now it seems the resorces are not avalible. Is that standart now or are they just too much resevations?

@kaurag this depends on the sandbox, they are very popular - a free resources to the latest Cisco technologies who would not want that right? The policy has always been 'fair usage' to allow all and every one to use the sandboxes. A couple of options, see if you have access to Cisco dCloud or you can run CML on your local machine for network design.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot @bigevilbeard 

i am very interested running a local machine. Can you please provide a hint or details to do this?

@kaurag sure can - back in the day when i was running a home lab (20 x 2811, 6 x 3560), i thought well there has to be a better than this right? Keep in mind this was pre-devnet sandbox days and the only other online labs were CCIE training labs. Cisco brought our VIRL, which is now called CML https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/cloud-systems-management/modeling-labs/index.html
