Learning EVE-NG - Anyway to emulate L2 Switching without using Cisco IOS?

Hey All,

Playing around with EVE-NG to play around with some network topology designs, I've created templates for all relevant devices I need (Pfsense firewall, Windows Servers, Windows Clients) however I now need to implement some VLANs.

From everywhere I've read the only proper way to do this is to emulate Cisco IOS - However I've never touched cisco switches before, not too familiar with their CLI. So I either find a suitable replacement OR I just suck it up and learn?

Is Emulating IOS Devices the only way to do VLAN'ing properly in EVE-NG?
