How To Install EVE-NG and PNET Lab | CCNA, CCNP, CCIE

[@mateusjunior1937]

Can you simulate CUCM on eveng ?

[@silesiocarvalho]

I haven't tried yet.

[@MaceoAllen-b6w]

Can you do step by step Eve-ng bare metal installation?

[@silesiocarvalho]

I'll add it to the list. Stay tuned😉

i use win 11 core i5 ,8gb ram . but i still got cpu error 95 % on pnet lab running 12 nodes anything beyond that is cpu error . any solution to this ? i run more nodes on gns 3 but pnet not possible . pls help

[@silesiocarvalho]

Try to increase the CPU number for pnet vm. Also you may want to enable cpu limitation on the nodes.

[@mikkio5371]

@@silesiocarvalho thanks .i have increase for the pnet vm . but for the second suggestion on limitation .how do i do that

[@mikkio5371]

@@silesiocarvalho thanks for your time . I have revert to gns 3. Gns 4 takes alot of nodes. But onet just 9 devices cpu error . Maybe am missing something .but and back to gns 3

Hello, thank you for this. Where do I get the PNET lab image files from for Cisco? Thank you.

[@silesiocarvalho]

The images you have to download officially from each vendor website. Thanks

[@JKRowl]

@@silesiocarvalho Okay. For Cisco for example, are they for free or nor? Because I’m confused. Thank you.

[@silesiocarvalho]

@@JKRowlmany cisco images are free to download. Some may require a contract associated with your account. You can download the images here. software.cisco.com/download/home

When I turn on a switch in PnetLab, it turns off again. Can you help me with that?

[@silesiocarvalho]

If it's iol, delete and import again.

[@huyvole9724]

Hi, i see your machine that slowly response after clicking. Maybe your specs machine is not high?

[@silesiocarvalho]

Probably. For me it's ok

[@unofficial3653]

Can we use ip phones, wireless devices, mobile phones, etc in pnet? Btw thank you for the video.

[@silesiocarvalho]

I don't know about wireless but you can deploy android for sure. Check even-ng supported devices.

[@BipsonMukhiya]

bro help me to get those images.

[@silesiocarvalho]

Just search for "Cisco-Images-for-GNS3-and-EVE-NG"

[@BipsonMukhiya]

@@silesiocarvalho yeah i got them but most of them are not working can you share the images that you are using

[@silesiocarvalho]

Sorry, I can't share the official images.

[@BipsonMukhiya]

@@silesiocarvalho yes sir, i understand

[@andrefernandes9194]

I'm not sure but I think pnetlab is a illegal fork from eve-ng and use some features that is licensed, there is some threads on internet where the eve-ng CEO Uldis Dzerkals claims about this. But eve-ng also looks like a fork or continuation of the old unetlab, so it's not clear for me.

[@silesiocarvalho]

I saw something related too, some say that at the beginning, they used to work together. The thing is that pnet is more stable than eve-ng comunity, plus has those "advanced" features that you'd have to pay on eve-pro.

[@brettwebb6789]

I looked into this. PNetLab was forked from the same base that EVE-NG was, UNetLab, and that forked code is BSD licensed. It's not "illegal", the EVE-NG CEO is just pissed off because PNetLab is getting in the way of them constantly ripping off their loyal customers (formerly myself) with their insane Pro licensing cost increases despite the stagnation of EVE-NG's development.

[@ez3170]

Hello can you provide me all the images like all the firewalls and other things ?

[@silesiocarvalho]

Sorry mate I can't. You can download it yourself.

[@ez3170]

@@silesiocarvalho not very helpful you're !!!

[@brettwebb6789]

@@ez3170 He can't, because if he's working of a corporation then he's probably getting those images through the corporate licensing. It's quite literally illegal to share those and could cost his company a ton of money, and him his job. There are ways to find them online, but asking people on KZbin isn't going to produce results.

@@brettwebb6789 if this guy was with good intention , he should find another solution to send ;) but the intention is not present !

[@jetbob309]

​@@ez3170I can send. What's your email

[@ChristianQK]

I didn´t catch the way to install PNet SIlesio, anyway looks great tbh

[@silesiocarvalho]

The steps are the same as for eveng that's why I didn't record it. Tks

@silesiocarvalho, I recently subscribed to your channel, and I must say that your video content is quite engaging. I'm interested in building a lab in EVE-NG or PNET similar to the CCIE EI topology, including technologies like SD-WAN, SD-Access, ISE, DMVPN, MPLS, Linux hosts, and NGFWs in HA. Setting up this lab would require substantial resources, so I'm considering between a physical home server or a cloud-based solution (AWS, Azure, or GCP.) I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Do you think you could create a video or start a discussion thread on your blog or somwhere where we could explore this idea further?

[@silesiocarvalho]

It's simple! Short term (1 year) you might use cloud but if you plan to use the labs as long as you live, than I strongly recommend to buy your own physical server. Buy something that allows you to grow as time goes by. I'm planning to make a video about this in the near future...
