For users of other operating systems, the EVE-NG development team provides good information on setting it up on Windows ( Setup, Integration) or Mac OS ( Setup, Intergration).
In this post, I focus only on the specific issues related to getting EVE-NG working on a Linux system. Since it runs in a virtual machine, EVE-NG may be set up on any operating system such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS. They are also developing an EVE-Cloud hosted solution that (I assume) will allow users to pay for access in exchange for a hosted solution on a remote cloud server. At the time this post was written, the EVE-NG developers are raising funds to support ongoing EVE-NG network emulator development.
It runs commercial network device software on Dynamips and IOU and runs other network devices, such as open-source routers, on QEMU.ĮVE-NG is an open-source project and the EVE-NG source code is posted on GitLab. Advanced users or administrators may add software images to the library and build custom templates to support almost any network scenario.ĮVE-NG supports pre-configured multiple hypervisors on one virtual machine. Users may create network nodes from a library of templates, connect them together, and configure them.
