I spent the day going through these videos to finally set up my eve-ng lab and adding various images, and it was such a breeze. The video was really explanatory and helped a lot. I wish I saw it sooner, would've saved me a lot of pain. Thank you so much David Bombal. Great Stuff on this channel. Now I can lab all day for the encor.
bro when you emulate the ios is the same as the originals you can use with gns3 or they are tinier, like you dont have mpls or vrf, that advance commands? :)
Just Started Studying for my CCNA. I am really glad you covered this install and GNS3 as well. I think I will go with Eve-NG... I cannot wait to setup some network topologies of my own!
Thank you david, it's working with me after making sure vm is connected to the internet and configured with dns to resolve urls and be able to download installation packages
David, thank you so very much for this series. Your timing couldn't be better-a recent Win10 update broke VMware Player 14 which, by extension, broke GNS3.
Thanks for this. I found myself here due to headaches and flames which GNS3 is showing me😅, I slept at 2am troubleshooting to no avail. Let me try eve ng
finally :) I was wondering why you did not wanted to test EVE-NG till now. For me it is the best tool out there! I have been using it from the old days when it was named UNL
@@davidbombal same here, eve-ng is fast, less bugs than GNS3, and in my case I work in a large IT company , so I ask to the data center staff to install EVE-NG in a VM , and because is clientless I can access to it anywhere using a browser.
@@davidbombal EVE-NG has both version free (community ) and paid(professional). from scalability perspective , it is really awesome as being 2xCCIE I run complex labs for POC and it works fine. I already switched off my multi-vendor hardware routers and switches in basement. You can can install it on one server and access it from any machine as it is clientless. In order to enjoy EVE-ng then you need to have really a good server. I invested close to $6k for buying the best server for eve-ng and installed it as bare-metal! When you test it in detail then you will see what I am talking about. I use eve-ng for my RedHat certifications, network automation, for NSX ,...everything at this moment.
Thank you David, very good presentation for a good quality product. For a while I had both deployed, EVE NG and GNS3 (ESXi environment). Things were getting complicated so I had to make a choice, in my case, I opted for GNS3. EVE NG web interface is very well done, the only part I didn't like was when connecting the virtual environment to a physical network/lab. After your interview with Jeremy Grossmann I am very pleased because GNS3 is adding the web interface. All the best!
Whoaaa EVEng, I heard about it but never try it. Thank you very much for showing it David, as soon as I am done with my priorities ICND1 and ICND2 I might have a look.
Great to see you put out an EVE-NG video. Highly recommend the Pro version and hope to see more than just Cisco devices. I have used Palo Alto, Fortigate, Checkpoint, Juniper and many Linux and Windows servers. I have also used Cisco UC devices in EVE-NG as well. The Pro version also has a few Docker devices as well.
Again thanx for all your in depth videos , and if possible please make a complete in depth PCNSE PREP Course on Udemy , your Udemy teaching is very vey good , there are courses on PCNSE but their way of explanation is not as good as you tech. ............and Sorry guys for my bad English
You're amazing took your CCNA Udemy course and I am soo glad you just never stop and do all the things. Thanks for everything you do from the bottom of my heart.
Hi David, what a privilege to have you and this video, unfortunately I just unable to access it on my browser. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks
I have to recheck again ....not sure why...i did for NAT but i can not ping EVE-NG from my PC.... even though I followed all instructions....but thank for this wonderful video again.
Hi. I installed the VM following the steps in the tutorial, but when I boot it the display only shows the "eve" logo and keeps there for ever. Any suggestion?
Nicely explained, David. Very clear! EVE is brilliant. I was actually gonna make a EVE-NG setup video myself since I've had a few inquiries into what software I'm using and how to get it - but I think I'll just recommend people watch this video instead now hahaha. Hopefully you'll do a follow up with the installation of devices images!
Thanks John. Video already recorded showing how to upload Cisco VIRL IOSv and IOSvL2 to EVE-NG. Will be uploaded soon. Why do you prefer EVE-NG over GNS3? Be good to get some opinions for when I make a comparison video.
@@davidbombal Excellent! GNS3 is great software, there's no doubt there, but I do personally prefer EVE-NG overall. There's just a lot of very small details I like better, like how the interface links are clearer. Or holding your cursor over the interface, changes the devices colour - which makes visually illustrating traffic easier for me when recording. I've always really liked the Web interface (I understand GNS3 is moving this direction, which is definitely the way forward imo!). I've recently upgraded to EVE-NG PRO and the features for suspending links, and easily manipulating link quality like jitter, etc, are just excellent. I can't fault it one bit. Overall, though, I'm just glad we live in a time we have options like EVE-NG and GNS3, since they're absolutely invaluable for teaching, learning and sharing :) -John
@@davidbombal Dear David. I do not compare Cisco Virl as a program for network engineers, as it has many limitations. Comparing Eve-ng and GNS3, Eve-NG has already left GNS3 far behind the proposed features, stability and usability. Such well-known world-class IT trainers as Narbik, Terry Vinson, Anthony Sequiera already use EVE-NG in carrying out their live classes and recording training video courses. And this is just the beginning. EVE-NG has the "EVE-NG Learning Center Edition". Naturally, everyone chooses which one to work on. I believe that many will soon switch to eve-ng, which is good. I hope I will see you not only install Eve-ng but also further work with it :)
For those that want a bit more than the Community Edition (free version), the Black Friday sales last year had the Pro version at 50% price. I will point out that you can do a lot with the Community Edition and may not need Pro for your individual needs.
@@davidbombal I want to know how to connect a real material(switch and router) with virtual image in eve-ng, and there are multiple cloud node(0,1,2, etc) in eve-ng, could you explain what it is exactly? thanks in advance!
Hello Sir. I am really grateful for Your content. I would like to ask and request You to kindly add process how to and where from add juniper MX, QFX, SRX images into EVE-NG
hi thanks for the demo. but can I ask , why cant we just download the eve NG set up and install on a PC and design a normal topology just like we do on packet tracer ? is it possible ?
I would recommend starting with Cisco Packet Tracer if you are very new to networking. EVE-NG, GNS3 and VIRL can be complex and overwhelming if you are new. But, don't let that stop you :)
david, which is better or best for you? what would you recommend to use for someone's entire networking career? iou? eve-ng? gns3? virl? thanks for the video, excited for your next tutorial of eve-ng. cheers mate!
Hi David, I have followed your video precisely but unfortunately am unable to ping my default gateway from the EVE NG Host address of 192.168.1.200 (my network gateway IP address 192.168.1.1). I have used the rm -f /opt/ovf/.configured then reboot trick several times, deleted the VM and rebuilt it, reinstalled from scratch VMWare Workstation. Any ideas?
thanks this is the best explanation of EVE-NG ever I have a question if I am working on my work PC and the available HD space is not enough can I install EVE and VM ware also the device images on external HD ? thanks
Hi David. Nice Video. Could you make a video in which you compare the pro/cons between eve-ng, gns3, virl... ? Which solution you would use for example, testing... Thank you!
I'm still confused with nat and bridge why it was 179.2 Assume if my laptop has ip 192.168.1.100/24 (dynamically assigned) And my home router/AP has ip 192.168.1.1/24 Now i have given ip 192.168.1.150/24 to eve-ng what ip should i give as default gateway and primary dns to eve vm?
First of all, excellent video. Just always, detailed and comprehensive video. Now, my question for you Mr . Bombal as a person who uses a lot of the GNS3, what is more convenient, the GNS3 or the EVE-NG?
@@davidbombal hi David. I don't think you have created this video. If so can you please link me? I am curious to know which one you think is the best one. I have a machine with great specs so I want to just pick one and stick to it.
I've added Palo Alto FW and Panorama on EVE-NG but unable to add the FW to the panorama as I don't have serial #.. How can we get serial # for pan FW on eve-ng?.. Any Inside will be greatly appreciated..
I sure hope David answers this or someone else who knows. Before i get to my question i need to say something. I know nothing about computers but want to learn. I can't do it in school just like i could listen to this video for a year and it will still mean nothing to me. I just purchased a desktop. Want to put a vm on it for a couple reasons. 1- to learn by making mistakes. 2- my main goal is so i can have scammers connect (Big Kitboga fan). What vm should i go with? Is player fine? should it be workstation pro? Also would you recommend this EVE-NG? Also i noticed a product they have called Remote Desktop. Do i need that. Lastly, can i get by without something like a Sonic Firewall? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.
