Hi,

With the latest CML release there are new versions of Cisco IOL images however, they are in an .iol format.

File names

x86_64_crb_linux_l2-adventerprisek9-ms.iol
x86_64_crb_linux-adventerprisek9-ms.iol
x86_64_crb_linux-adventerprisek9-ms.iol

Can these be used with EVE-NG? The previous releases were .bin images.

Thank you.

need to be bin, try renaming them to .bin and test.

Thank you that worked. Created a simple test lab between 1 L2 + L3 IOL device and connected fine.

I tried some new .iol files from CML, EVE-NG doesn't accept them directly. You still need to convert to the appropriate format (bin/qcow2) or use a special import method. .iol format is mainly for IOS on Linux.

it is simple answer which is already given to you:
extension of .iol must be named to .bin
Thats it
