Running a lot of CSR nodes seems to take its toll on my device is there a way to optimize it thereby reducing the amount of memory each node takes. Read something about paging in Esxi don't know if that works for eve.?
Just a note related to the comment that the CSR1000v image will run for a couple seconds and then shut down, I've experienced the same thing and have been digging for an answer. It appears to be a lack of support with newer QEMU images and AMD Ryzen processors in my case (3900x). I've tried the Cisco Serial qcow2 images, I've tried the EVE-NG ISO install method, I've tried adding -cpu qemu64 as an option when doing the ISO install method. I always end up with a non-booting virtioa.qcow2 in the end. Any input on how to make it run would be great, but I expect it's just "coloring too far out of the lines". Maybe there's a BIOS setting I'm missing? Thanks for the great video, Rob, your content is excellent!
@@RobRikerTechChannel Thanks Rob but it appears that also needs the ISO? I think if you don't "install" properly then it ends up not using the "serial console", which means telnetting to the console doesn't work.
@@RobRikerTechChannel I had an issue whereby it was booting the "VGA" console instead of "serial", which means you can't use the console. Also, I booted an image but I got no physical interfaces! They appear in EVE and I connected them, but nothing in the running config. Any ideas? Thanks!
Yeah just to confirm I don't believe it's possible to install this with the qcow2 image, you must use the ISO otherwise it defaults to the VGA console instead of serial. If anyone knows a way of correcting this, please advise!
Hi, I use GNS3 to do yout labs, but it seems that doesn't works lately..... I've been trying to install CSRV1000 in Eve-NG but it doesn't works for me... I have other Cisco Virl Images installed and works fine. I can connect via web browser to the devices and configure them. With CSRV1000 i follow the same process to upload virls qcow2 images , I've tryed to with differents CSRV1000 isos (I get a qcow file and renamed to virtioa.qcow2) and when y Start node in eve i stops in 2 seconds, If doesn't stops i can't connect. Any idea? I'd be the happiest person in the world if we could solve it Thankyou!!!!!

First error - You need to enable virtualization. I got the same error when I spun up eve-ng in a vm on my Proxmox hypervisor. This was because I was trying to create a virtual container inside a virtual machine running on physical hardware. I had to enable "Nested Virtualization" on Proxmox and then configure the cpu type in my vm to Host. If you're running this in a vm on your computer, you probably need to make sure your CPU/Motherboard combo supports it and then enable virtualization features in the bios. Second error - idk where you put the virtioa.qcow2 disk file, but make sure its in the same directory you're trying to install it.

how about CSRv for SD-WAN? it boot up for 3 seconds and went down.

Rob, I am wondering if you could start a series about VXLAN EVPN as this is missing from the great content you have in your youtube channel.
Thanks for the recommendation!
I also download the qcow2 image, but the guide is based around the ISO. How do you install from the qcow2?

change the Qemu NIC to Virtio and then you will see the interfaces

A bit too late, but in your Vmware Workstation or ESXi, you need to enable hardware acceleration. This would fix it.

Not everything is on the internet... Time it, it takes a while on newer code, like 10 minutes.
