Edit: Upon closer reading it appears L1 keepalives are broken in IOL. I assume that's why it's not an option in eve-ng. However, GNS3 at least has an option for it as an experimental/non function feature. Maybe that is something that could be added to eve as well?

When launching IOL from the CLI it is possible to use the keepalive flag:

Code: Select all

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/lib /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin/i86bi-linux-l2-adventerprise-15.1b.bin -l 1

When this is enabled all interfaces show proper status if they're actually down.

Code: Select all

Switch#show ip int br
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
Ethernet0/0            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet0/1            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet0/2            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet0/3            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet1/0            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet1/1            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet1/2            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Ethernet1/3            unassigned      YES unset  down                  down
Serial2/0              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial2/1              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial2/2              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial2/3              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial3/0              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial3/1              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial3/2              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down
Serial3/3              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Without the keepalive flag all interfaces that aren't admin down always show up/up.

Code: Select all

root@eve-ng:/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/lib /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin/i86bi-linux-l2-adventerprise-15.1b.bin 1

...

Code: Select all

Switch>show ip int br
Interface              IP-Address      OK? Method Status                Protocol
Ethernet0/0            unassigned      YES unset  up                    up

Serial2/3              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Serial3/3              unassigned      YES unset  administratively down down

Is there a way to pass this argument when launching IOL images in eve-ng ui?

Actually it is just visual stuff and non working.
This probably can work only IOL to IOL
but as the EVE is multivendor tool, this "feature" obviously will not work qemu node to IOL..
So i dont see big reason such to be added in the EVE.
And as i know need spcific IOL which would support such.
