VIRL2 is also an official Cisco product – that means that you don’t have to worry about any gray legal issues with regards to running Cisco IOS images on your laptop.

That means that you are already paying for VIRL. Both EVE-NG and GNS3 require that you provide your own IOS images – typically they recommend that you buy a VIRL subscription anyway. You don’t have to try to find images as they are all included as part of your VIRL subscription and by simply mapping an ISO drive to your virtual machine you can immediately start using all Cisco IOS images in your topologies. You don’t have to follow a convoluted process to get Cisco images working like you do with EVE-NG. You don’t have to use a thick client like you do with GNS3.

VIRL 2 supports an HTML5 web client and contains all the Cisco IOS images. VIRL 2 has multiple advantages over other platforms such as GNS3 or EVE-NG. The new version of Cisco VIRL 2 is one of your best options for CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Labs. You don’t have to use a thick client or any other software – everything is included and everything is easy to use. The new version of Cisco VIRL allows you to create virtual Cisco networks using just your Web browser. This is Part 6 of my CML (VIRL 2) series showing you how to download, install and configure Cisco VIRL 2 (CML-P). All you need is your web browser (you will need to install Cisco An圜onnect VPN client to access the labs remotely).

In a a previous video, I showed you how to download and install VMware Workstation Player and how to add EVE-NG to VMware, how to create a topology.You can now access Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) for free! Thanks to Cisco DevNet, you use a cloud based version of CML for free. Use this EVE-NG tutorial to add Cisco images to EVE-NG and get an EVE-NG lab set up. This video is part of a series of videos that give you a full EVE-NG installation guide. This EVE-NG tutorial shows you step by step how to download Cisco IOS images, how to upload them to the EVE-NG server and then how to use them in EVE-NG topologies. How do you add and use Cisco images in EVE-NG topologies? This video shows you how to download Cisco IOS images from Cisco VIRL and then use them in your EVE-NG networks.
