[@johangonzalez4558]

this series is the best guide I've seen on youtube for setting up EVE-NG thank you!

Hey thanks, and thanks for watching!

Hi Rafael, Thank you for the great content. Can you do a video on Integrating Eve-ng Topology with VM Ware Networks?

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hey Zain, thanks for the positive feedback glad you liked it. Sure i’ll do one on it in the future.

Hello again - I was wondering if you have ever tried adding Trex and the WAN Emulator that comes with CML. I was reading the EVE doc, but I wasn't able to find anything related to these non-cisco VM images

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hey, I haven't tried to use them yet but now I'm curious. I think they are Linux so maybe they can be deployed as Linux host in EVE. I want to try and test it one of these days.

Did you purchase the license before downloading the file from cisco?

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

I believe i had to pay first before i was able to download.

[@dannydominguez6815]

Do you have a video doing the same thing, but with GNS3?

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

I don't have any GNS3 videos currently, I mainly use EVE-NG but I will start putting out some GNS3 content soon.

Thank you Mr. Jose, once I purchase the ISO from CML, do I have lifetime access to use the ISO that I downloaded on my workstation. I see access Duration: 365 days

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Who is Jose lol? The refplat ISO that contains the node images never expires. They work inside or outside of cml, like in EVE-NG for example. The ISO for cml itself has a license for 365 days. After 365 days you need to buy another license to keep using it.

@@NetworkEngineerPro First of all thank you for your service, also, I am a veteran as well. I need to continue learning Cisco technology such as Nexus ( spine and leaf technology) and SD-Wan. I allowed my skills to diminish. I still feel like a newbie. But, I know I must continue forward with networking because I really enjoy it. The server will be used to learn Nexus, brush up on routing protocols and SD Wan. I

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

That's awesome, thanks for your service as well. I totally get you, life happens. It's hard to keep up with all the technologies all the time, I need to brush up on things too. You got yourself a hell of server so you will be good to go.

Need help adding Cisco CML IOL images to eve-ng. Any suggestion :? Thank you

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Sure, did you follow this procedure? www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos/howto-add-cisco-iol-ios-on-linux/

[@freddiemunoz4443]

@@NetworkEngineerPro Thanks for the response. I was not sure about the license part. I purchased CML and thought i could find the license I paid for. I thought i did not have to go to google and try and find a way to generate a license.

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Do you want to use IOL images only? You can use the vios images following the regular procedure no license to worry about. If you want to use the IOL images let me know i can find a site that i used to generate a license. It has nothing to do with the cml license btw its just a python script you run once in eve-ng to get the iol images working.

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Here try this it shows the complete process for adding iol images including generating the license. nocsma.wordpress.com/2019/02/24/how-to-add-cisco-iou-iol-to-eve-ng/

Hello Rafael... Do you have any solution for slow-boot of IOSv images... it's taking almost 5hrs to boot...

[@NetworkEngineerPro]

Hi Sujay, thanks for watching! It should not take that long. How much ram and vcpu does the eve-ng vm have? How many IOSv nodes are you starting at one time?

[@SujayRajegowda]

@@NetworkEngineerPro i'm running eve-ng in Vmworkstation 16 over a Virtual Machine of windows server 2016... I believe this might be the issue.... only one node at a time...

@@SujayRajegowda yea that could be the issue, Try and build the eve-ng vm straight on vmware workstation and see if its better. Good luck!

No problem.

For IOS-XR images is same process?

Hey jose, yes I was able to add IOS-XRv 6-3-1 and IOS-XRv9000 6-6-2 successfully with the same process, I'll be uploaded that tutorial this weekend. Both were qcow2 images. Thanks for watching!
