How to set up the EVE-NG network emulator on a Linux system
EVE-NG is a graphical network emulator that supports both commercial and open-source router images. It’s graphical user interface runs in a web browser. EVE-NG runs in a virtual machine so it can be set up Windows, Mac OS, or Linux computers.
In this post, I will show how to set up an EVE-NG virtual machine on an Ubuntu Linux system. I’ll show the basic steps to creating and running a simple lab consisting of emulated Linux nodes.
To support more complex labs using open-source routers and other open-source network appliances in EVE-NG, we need to create custom templates and build router images specifically for use in EVE-NG. I will cover these topics in a future post. In this post, we’ll focus only on getting an EVE-NG virtual machine set up and running on a Linux system.
EVE-NG Overview
EVE-NG is a clientless network emulator that provides a user interface via a browser. Users may create network nodes from a library of templates, connect them together, and configure them. Advanced users or administrators may add software images to the library and build custom templates to support almost any network scenario.
EVE-NG supports pre-configured multiple hypervisors on one virtual machine. It runs Continue reading
