Hi,

I´m new using EVE-NG...

I´m starting to do some labs to be prepared for CCIE R&S.

Does anyone know how could be possible using EVE-NG, creating interfaces from F0/18 (G0/18)- F0/21 (G0/21) to interconnect 4 switches ?

From the 4 switches using F0/1 (G0/1 ) until F0/10 (G0/10) to interconnect the 10 routers ?

How can I interconnect the 10 routers, using serial interfaces ?

What IOS/IOL/vIOS versions can I use to deploy this please ?

Thank you very much.

Hi,
Specific of the Cisco virtual switches are:

IOL SW using 4 port ethernet cards, e0/0-3, e1/0-3, e0/2-3...
Same manner are vIOS, g0/0-3, g1/0-3....

Naming makes no sense at all, Fuctionality is all right and you can use any of switches above. Your trunk ports will be sw1 e3/2 connected to sw2 e3/2....
Interface naming like f0/0-24 is not possible at all, such are provided cisco images above.

You can interconnect serial links as well IOL Images support Serial interfaces..
As well 4 port cards, S0/0-3 etc

Depends what do you want,
INE for example using CSRv1000 XE IOS for their labs, as well supported on EVE

Hi,

Thank you mate.
Regards

what vIOS version and name are you using for the lab

Hello Uldis

Which software version can you please suggest to implement serial interfaces int he case of CSRv1000 XE IOS or in the case of using VIOS ?

Thank you,
Net Worker

Only IOL Images supports Serial interfaces.
Not CSR or vIOS have serials.

Future virtual nodes no one has serial interfaces.... And will not have

Uldis
P.S. in the screenshot used IOL L3 15.4.2T image
It does support all frame Relay and all serial interface features

Thank you very much

Hello,

I´m using version i86bi-linux-l3-adventerprisek9-ms.154-2.T4.bin, to provide serial interfaces.

I can see that the serial interface exists.

But I assign the IOL version inside to the the router inside the browser, I realise that there is no more serial interfaces inside the router

Can you please help ?

Thank you,

excuse me but do right click edit node and add this serial int card
By default IOL has given only eth interfaces, changing 0-1 as serial card will start your node with serials too
I cant explain better, if you dont know that

Working

Thank you very much
