How to import IOSv Router & Switch images from CML into EVE-NG

Welcome to Network Engineer Pro. I'm Rafael, CCIE 64356. Are you studying for certifications like the CCNA, CCNP or even the CCIE ? Are you ready to get labbing in EVE-NG with Cisco IOSv Router and Switch Images ?

​In this video I show you step by step how to download Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) IOSv Router and Switch images and how to upload them to the EVE-NG VM. I then show you how to build a simple topology with those new images. If you are just starting out in networking or maybe you are going for those expert level exams, labbing is critical for success. EVE-NG is a great tool to help.

Don't forget to check out my site and follow Network Engineer Pro on Facebook.

Hi Rafael, Thank you for the great content. Can you do a video on Integrating Eve-ng Topology with VM Ware Networks?

Hello again - I was wondering if you have ever tried adding Trex and the WAN Emulator that comes with CML. I was reading the EVE doc, but I wasn't able to find anything related to these non-cisco VM images
