Awesome video, I just got GNS3 installed after having years of issues and just giving up. But eitherway I'm subscribing and I can't wait to go through your videos.
Glad you liked it Ari!
More to come...
I switched over to Eve-NG about a month ago, I love it
I love it too. Now I wonder why it took me so long to consider it... 🙂
what made you switch from GNS3 to EVE-NG?
@Scott Harrison Community edition is free, and can be installed on a Type 2 Hypervisor (VirtualBox VMware Workstation), Type 1 Hypervisors (vSphere ESXi, KVM, and I'm not sure about Hyper-V) or bare metal installation. If you want the Pro version then it costs.
@@networkprofits7858 For me, its for more flexible, cleaner UI, ease of integration without needed GNS3 appliances.
@@networkprofits7858 Eve-ng is cleaner I found GNS3 clunky for lack of a better word.
Subscribed :) cheers for this video. I'm still in the early stages of my networking career and still have alot to learn. Cheers.
Thank you.
And all the best in your studies and career! Cheers

What is minimum laptop ram required for eve-ng and gns3?
Do you know if its possible to have multiple remote servers?, I got GNS3 and I share all the resources between 2 Ubuntu Servers (Bare GNS3 servers + OpenVPN, not GNS3 VM), I want to try EVE-NG but I also want to know if these feature is possible too
Just subscribed to KB Trainings, thanks for sharing these videos, it really helped me a lot. I'm gonna start studying for the CCNP Enterprise certification (ENCORE - ENAUTO - ENRASI), but my biggest challenge is to build appropiates labs without expending too much money , which I don't have. Do you know where can I donwload the Cisco images in order to start building my labs on EV-NG/GCP? Also, I'm more familiar with AWS, is there a way to install EV-NG on AWS?
Welcome aboard!
Yes, there is a way to build GNS3 on AWS, check this out: www.gns3.com/community/blog/building-gns3-server-on-amazon-2
good info to take account bro ,thx
Thanks bro!
Can anyone help me please where I can get the scenario based questions, I really want to become a network engineer.. 🙏
Do you shutdown your projects when not using so save on billing?
You mention looking into server hosting, Google cloud and AWS. Whats wrong with just hosting your labs on your own device running VMs on VMware ?
Sir thank you very much for your videos but please my question is can i get pdf commands for SG-350 switches because i see that their configuration is different from the catalyst Cisco switches?
Kindly help me.
Thank you
Thank you Ebo.
Unfortunately, I don't have the pdf commands requested.
I was bit confused in selecting buying a Home server or GCP for my practice , which is the best cost optimal option.
Depending on how often you are planning to use it.
In my case I want the server to be up 24/7, so a home server is my go to option. GCP was a temporary solution.
Pls can u help me get EVE-NG cisco images and palo alto
Very useful video. EVE-NG is super and very light on the PC / Laptop. With Respect to GNS3, the problem is GNS3 VM is not working sometimes. Thank you.
Yes, you are right!
Thank you for sharing
You could use Ubuntu workstation and install GNS3 on it from the prompt see GNS site howto do it. And you would use Qemu VMs. this is really fast and I am still using 8 Gbytes of RAM because that is the max for my Laptop sadly, but still fast for labbing.
The most ideal os for gns3 Is Linux....gns3 vm is Linux ...why not run it there
Hey KB question
I have EVE-NG but do you have or know any lab curriculums for CCNA/CCNP labs that are tailored for EVE-NG?
In KB Training are your teaching your labs using EVE-NG? Thanks
Hey Shawn,
I don't know any labs, I like to create my own and always encourage people to do so.
On KBTRAININGS, the CCNA, we use Packet Tracer and GNS3.
Maybe when we start with ENCOR, I will use Eve NG.
@@KBTrainings ok noted..in your opinion what’s the recommended amount of memory needed to run eveng efficiency for building pretty much a large enterprise network on a VM?
My Cisco instructor introduce me to EVE, I use to have my own lab setup (three switch, three router) but it was limited. I decide to go with my own server( Dell R620, four 1TB SSD, 128GB RAM, two 10 core intel Xeon CPU) I plan to use it to do DevOps and a couple VM’s. But most importantly at the moment I want to use it to practice for my CCIE using EVE. I use normally log into my instructor server but when multiple students are on it some times locks up. The big issue for me was if I am doing lab in EVE and another student does the same lab and reset the lab it erase the current configs I have on the devices. It mostly happen at nights when most of the students are logged in doing labs. He is kind enough to give all his students access to it so I stop complaining. The sever should arrive in a couple days and I can’t wait to set it up with Keats just say a lot or applications that will help me not just in networking but also in other IT related areas
did the server arrive? how much did you pay for it? are you running it at home?
why aren't youu running an ali express xeon pc? it's cheaper tho
@gaston3501 Never heard of it. Do you have a link?
@@KBTrainings yeah this is an example ruclips.net/video/sdoTJ6jMzw8/видео.html
he tested games but what it matters is the motherboard and the cpu, you can use this old decommisioned chips to make a lab environment for less than 200, although components could fail (of course, it's China XD) but I haven't had any issues with mine, and if you have money and time, it could be worth
In terms of cpu I recommend haswell based en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_processors_(Haswell-based)
or braadwell based en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Xeon_processors_(Broadwell-based)
either version 3 or 4 (4 higher performance and next gen against the haswell
from those I recommend the version that end up with a 0 like the e5-2670, 2680, 2690, others that end up with another number are either experimental or a specific OEM for a customer.
In aliexpress they sell a package, meaning motherboard, cpu and ram, it's the best way to buy them
Hi! I would like to set up a cost effective solution for my Enterprise, Data Center & Security CCNP/CCIE lab trainings and other platform vendors (Arista, Aruba, F5, Fortinet, Juniper, Palo Alto, etc...) off GCP using EVE-ng. Do you have a video that can provide some assistance in setting up that service (best server configurations, etc.)? If yes, please do share or point me to the link. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the video. Can you use NAT cloud on GCP to connect the devices to the Internet?
I haven't tried that yet. Will do and let you know
Thanks for your viewership!
Great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your viewership!
Hello,
Could you please send me a guide line to use google cloud platform for using Eve-ng lab.
currently i am using a xeon server, it s fairly powerful. i have used it for ma y labs, have no issues so far, but just want to learn how efficient and cost effective can google cloud platform be. Thanks in advance.
Hi. Can you import virl images to eve ng? I see virl images are available only with cml. Not sure
Not sure about that.
I need to check on it and get back to you!
I know this video was about eve-ng and gns3 but what do you think about CML compared to eve-ng? Im starting to study for Encor and I need to decide which one to buy
I have been using VIRL for lab a couple years now, it is great! Even thought I always have GNS3 on the side.
I haven't installed or used the new CML, will do it in a month or so when I will re-gain access to my servers. I will make a video about it too.
But if you can afford the CML license, definitely go for it. You even get the images to use with GNS3 if you want to.
Thank you
I've tried CML from Cisco and it has a lot of bugs but you can check out cloudmylab.com they can help you with Gns3, eve-ng, virl and even CML 2.0 at a very low cost
have you considered using Cisco Modeling Labs ? Are there any advantages of EVE-NG to CML
I have using VIRL in the past and it was good. I haven't tried CML yet.
I think it is worthwhile.
In eve-ng Getting error Unable to start node (12) it was working fine earlier, m not getting any document to fix this issue, pls help how can I fix it. Thanks!
Sorry I can't help now. I am pretty sure you can find some help here: www.eve-ng.net/forum/
hello switched to EVE-NG ,its very good can you please make a video on how to setup eve-ng on google cloud and run the lab,it will be very helpful
Great video! I love you on-screen arrangement. Will you stay with EVE-NG over GNS3?
I am still with Eve-ng.
Bit it has been a while since I ised it because of everything I have going on. I will get back to it soon!
Thank you for your viewership
Brother, I want to practice all the Networking technologies like Routers, firewalls, load balancer can we practice all these in EVE-NG. I will go with community free version, if yes then where to get these images for free for different vendors. We don't want to make additional payments to buy. Please advice in detail.
@Faisal Fareed, you probably can find them on the NET but most of the time you will get some viruses too while pressing accept on one or two buttons and these images are most of the time old but will work for doing normal things you would need them for, but be careful. You are better of taking an account with Cisco CML2 then you will get all the images for only $199,- , okay it is a lot of money but you will have the state of the art new images and you can hold them up-to-date for one year.
How do I install Eve-ng
I have issues with Eve-NG on GCP such as putting Nat cloud and reaching to the Internet from ASR connected to the NAT Cloud. Can you make a video about it please ? So far I could not manage to ping the Internet from multiple interfaces in GCP
Sure, I will make a video about it in few weeks.
Been all over the place with some moves.
Thank you for your viewership Mr. Onur!
There are couple of commands needed in the root vm instance to reach the internet
Will eve-ng work properly on 8GB laptop, I would want to run firewalls and routers/switches... What do you suggest?
It will work but you will have limited power and number of switches or router to run at a time.
You may he better off adding another 8G if you can.
Thank you!
@@KBTrainingsThanks. I have installed eve-ng on Google cloud, so that I can run more devices.
Currently they are giving only 3 months free..earlier it was for 12 months.
Oh really, didn't know about that!
So the best or cheaper option would be to run it locally.
Hey KB just curious are you running EVE-NG on Windows OS only? Are you planning to run any labs on your Apple M1 Max device?
Hey Shawn,
I haven't used Eve NG in a while.
For the M1 Max, I am planning to use the GNS3 VM fo labs
@@KBTrainings Hey KB, how are you going to do that?! Lately I’ve been trying so hard to setup GNS3 on my M1 and it’s been difficult please share how you plan to do it!
@@KBTrainings also KB they have a beta version of VM Fusion for M1 so I’m going to see if I can use that to setup GNS3 VM on it. I hope it works. Please let me know your thoughts I want to lab directly on my M1 :)
You are god man !
Thank you
@@KBTrainings you shouldn't thank him but rebuke him, There is only one God and He sees everything and for sure He can read too. Jesus the Son of the Living God is God and will come for His Church soon.
I am using GNS 3 on the Google cloud and it works better than Eve-ng (and I did try both before ultimately deciding which one I want to keep)
Now GNS 3 is has more complex deployment but someone made convinient with ansible playbook that's public available
That is great! I will look into it.
@Stefan which tutorial did you use to setup GNS3 on the Google cloud?
It's a really a helpful contents, thank you so much for this video I want to know if it's possible if you make short presentation how to deploy or create the VMs in to Google for Amazon clouds.
I will do it then, in about a week.
Thank you for your viewership!
@@KBTrainings thank you so much
Does GNS3 not allow you to host it on a cloud provider?
It does but it might not be straightforward
In future you can get 200$ free credits from Azure as well. I have tested EVE on Azure it works like a charm. Willing to test google cloud soon.
Good to know, Thanks!
Hello world which video did you watch to install on azure as some of the videos when you follow your eve-ng just gets errors or doesn't work properly, thanks
Hello, if possible, can you please create one video with detail explanation about how to install EVE-NG and use it, I am preparing for Juniper cert and need it. Please and thank you!
Can you please explain how you integrated secureCRT with EVE-NG?
Sorry I can't help now. I am pretty sure you can find some help here: www.eve-ng.net/forum/
I can help. Go to EVE-NG download section: www.eve-ng.net/index.php/download/. Once there find "Windows Client Side" and download the "Windows integration pack". Install it and it creates a folder with path as following: c:\Program Files\EVE-NG. There is a file with name "win10_64bit_sCRT.reg" so run it and it will create news keys and values to the registry. All set now.
Run EVE-NG with a router and click on it. It should ask you if you wanna run SecureCRT. Click on remember the option. If you use Firefox "Console to All Nodes" works well. Firefox generally works better in EVE-NG UI as Chrome limited me.
@@445Matty I integrated secureCRT with EVE-NG on the computer.
If you want to be prompted to make SecureCRT the default telnet app again, it's possible:
1)Take note of SecureCRT's config location in Global Options / General / Configuration Paths category
2)Close SecureCRT
3)Edit the Global.ini file in the config folder so that the line with...
D:"Check Shell Telnet Command"=00000000
... is modified to...
D:"Check Shell Telnet Command"=00000001
When you next launch SecureCRT you should be prompted to make SecureCRT the default telnet application.
Just installed Eve on my laptop and runs great. Only issue I have is there isn't no official support for AMD and my desktop is AMD Ryzen 1700x 32gb of ram... Haven't attempted the install yet but so far like it on my laptop at least
I am also running it on an old laptop as well and it runs like a charm.
I also hope they support AMD very soon
Use cloudmylab.com to host your EVE-NG in the cloud at a very low cost!!!
@@KBTrainings They don't officially support it but I attempted it on my Ryzen system 1700x 32gb ram & it works great so far no issues actually works better than Gns3 in my opinion
Please can you show how to install gns3 on gcp and can you run that gns3 GUI on gcp please?
Sure. Will do it in a week
Thank you for your viewership Ted!
the problem is the Cisco images and how to get them
That is true!
Hi, Cisco Modeling Labs 2.0 / CML2 for $199,- dollars and you will got most of the Images what you need for labbing.
Sir, can you do a video how to set up EVE, Google cloud, amazon, and how set a complete labs?
Sure, will do when I have some time!
Hi, can you use dockers with eve-ng cloud ?
Yes, eve-ng has umbedded dockers.
@@KBTrainings since which version?
check out this link: www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos-video/eve-embedded-dockers-setup-and-usage/
Hi bro, Does the charge is still very expensive after the trial ends?
Hi Vetri, I guess you are asking about the GCP charge...
I am not sure.
I didn't use it for that long.
@@KBTrainings noted bro
Thanks for watching Vetri!
@@KBTrainings not a problem mate
Awesome video bro! Can you post a tutorial on how to install EVE? Thank you!
I suugest you check David Bombal's video. He's explained it perfectly. Yeah that's ofcourse if you need a setup right now. Else you could wait for KBtrainings to make a video of his own.
@@jeevansapkota6647 yes that's what I used to set it up, probably the best tutorial at the moment
Hey @kbtrainings can you please create a video on how to setup a lab using eve-no on GCP I have been dying to do that with 2 fails attempts 😕
Sure. Will do it this weekend
Use cloudmylab.com to host your EVE-NG in the cloud at a very low cost!!! And it works like a charm
Stupid question> Why couldnt you just use gns3 on your google cloud instance?
gns3 is a little more demanding than EVE-NG in term of processor's virtual capacities, I guess.
I tried and didn't work out.
Hey bro, I am trying to use this eve-ng. it's a bit hard. because of how to find these devices image. could you show how to download these image and upload them to eve-ng. I am following from Côte d'ivoire. Congrats bro you are doing a great job. Merci encore et encore
I am going to create a video on how to create devices from images.
I can't provide you with the images for legal reasons.
Thank you bro.
i just miss some interface feedback. like other programs do.
ether1 is up = green
ether1 is down= red
True! They are young compared to GNS3. Hope they will improve with future updates
But its not needed as far as you can connect them via console or remote method. Because in real life network engineers barely see the actual device. Most of the times DC engineers do the physical part and NW engineer is the one who do the configure stuff and tell DC engineer to what to do.
But why did you switch?
Because GNS3 was not easy ti use in the cloud or as a VM on a laptop.
Thank you for watching.
I switched to google cloud but when fixing permission I am getting below error . Apprciate if anyone can respond:
oot@eve-ng:~# /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(/opt/unetlab/platform): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/unetlab/html/includes/init.php on line 71
You have to go to the init.php file with Nano and edit line 71 by removing platform at the end of the line. Overwrite, then exit. Now try the same command again.
@@josedefrank3121 means wrong cpu on gcp.... use N1. This is due to VT not available on your instance.....
This is fun when you're single, got no kids and want to nerd it up, which is def cool and all but just thinking of diving down the google platform and AWS rabbit holes is hurting my brain already. Ill stick with GNS3
And this video was really vague, didnt expel much info on the nuts and bolts of why you switched.
I had some time to spare.
Try PNETLab, It's even better than EVE-ng pro!
Will try. Thanks!
You forgot to tell us why? lol
