Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

connect vpc to internet through Cisco Switch

Post by ybzh » Mon Aug 11, 2025 2:59 pm

Hello,
I installed Eve-NG and I'm facing a problem connecting a VPC to the Internet through a vIOS switch.
I have Cloud1 connected to the Internet with a DHCP server.
When I connect a VPC to this cloud, DHCP works and I can connect to the Internet.
When I put a switch between them, DHCP does not respond, even though two VPCs can connect through it.
Does anyone have an idea to help me?

you should use windows or linux images instead of vpc. also which version of switch are you using. some older version iol switch/routers i.e had bugs. where's Eve installed by the way ?

Hello,
I've installed EveNG on both ESXi and VMware — same problem.
I've tried connecting a Linux node and an external VM through the network — same problem, even though my external VM can connect to the VPC via the switch.
I'm using viosl2-152-4.0.55E. Is there any newer version of this image?

Thank you.
