Hi,
I have a solution to the problem of connecting several devices to the local LAN.
Unlike having several clouds for example, I have manage to mimic the behavior of the unmanaged GNS3 switch which allows you to connect several devices on the same segment.
Of course you can do this with the bridge network object but the bridge network object cannot link to a cloud (and if that cloud connects of course you to your local LAN then there is no way to be on that segment).
The solution is to use a:
CLOUD (it connects to the external local LAN)
ROUTER (any router image) configured to do bridging and IP routing.
A BRIDGE network object (the bridge connects to one interface on the router and the router connects to the local LAN via the cloud).
In this fashion you can connect several devices to the this "BRIDGE" and they will be on the same segment as your external local LAN.
This has the ability to allow interactions with EVE from the outside local LAN.
Of course you can go through the procedure of configuring everything every time you have a lab but my idea is that the developers could make an additional object that had this functionality enabled thus it can be just added as any object.
Any comments will be welcome.
Miguel.

Re: Allow access to the local LAN using a bridge
simple
if you need several devices in home subnet, Cloud0
Any other unused cloud can act like bridge for your nodes
connect them all to cloud, cloud to SW whenever you need.
This lab is example..
Cloud itself is unmanaged vSwitch
