We are going to need following tools for this: 1. INE-CCIEv5-RS-Initial-Configuration-for-EVE-NG.Adding Cisco IOU/IOL images in Unetlab Posted on Jby admin Considering you followed the previous Introduction post, we will now add Cisco IOU/IOL image in Unetlab. They are derived from the public available ones on the CCIE R&S v5 Topology Diagrams & Initial Configurations page and do not contain any workbook information or somehow else related to INEвЂ™s training materials. If somebody from INEвЂ™s team reads this post (that would be something :)) and consider inappropriate to share the modified initial configuration files, please let me know and IвЂ™ll take them down. If you encounter errors that are critical, please let me know and IвЂ™ll try to correct them. Most probably youвЂ™ll notice some errors at the copy / paste, but these are just cosmetic and related mostly to some proprietary CSR1000v commands or management interface which is not needed in EVE-NG. IвЂ™ve tried my best not to have any errors, I also did some testing, everything looks to be fine. However if you need more, just add nodes and connect them to the Net bridge using the Gi0/1 interface.ДЄs said previously, the configuration files have been adapted to match the interfaces listed above. The connections between routers and switches are facilitated by the Net bridge.ДЎ0 routers should be sufficient for most of the labs. We have 10 Routers using vIOS-е…ѓ and 4 Switches using vIOS-L2. Here is how the network topology looks like: Real Switches вЂ“ vIOS-L2 Fa0/1 - Gi0/0 - SW1 only connection to bridgeДЇor the Routers is easy, since the interfaces are almost the same: I was forced to come with an alternative scheme, to map the original interface to the virtual ones and to adapt the configuration files. You cannot replicate this exact port configuration scheme using vIOS L2 images. On switch SW1, Port 1 is used to bridge the switching part to the routing one. If youвЂ™ll check INEвЂ™s CCIE R&S v5 topology, the Cisco switches are using the Port from 19 to 24 to interconnect. The challenge lies in the fact that vIOS L2 images are build to support Ethernet ports in group of four, resulting in a slight different naming convention. It brings me great happiness to let you know that IвЂ™ve succeeded in adapting not only the topology (not that hard honestly), but also the initial configuration files. Is no secret that vIOS will use less resources than CSR1000v images. Yes yes, all these are quite right, but IвЂ™m not here to debate about the best way to create a topology, rather a simple and sustainable one which works even for low end devices with less resources (CPU, RAM). You can argue that vIOS is a bit unstable and lacks some features, that CSR1000v images are better when combined with real Cisco switches and so on. IвЂ™ve picked CiscoвЂs vIOS е…ѓ and L2 images to support the topology in EVE-NG. I just wanted to have the possibility to use their materials on using the entire topology, including the Switches, in EVE-NG. Along certification training you can find in their All Access Pass Subscription valuable learning materials for Network Automation, Security and Traffic Analysis (like Wireshark).Д«y the way IвЂ™m not affiliated with nor this post is the result of some sponsorship from INE. In my opinion, INE offers some of the best training materials for Cisco and Juniper certifications. The last days I was working on adapting INEвЂs lab topology, most specific the CCIE Routing and Switching v5 one, to be used in EVE-NG.
