Any changes made to the EVE-NG user interface and any new EVE-NG features will not be back-ported to UNetLab. Any problems found in UNetLab will be only fixed in EVE-NG. However, the developers have stopped developing UNetLab. In addition to updating and re-working the software, the developers changed the project’s name.Īt the time I wrote this post, UNetLab and EVE-NG are still very similar. Why EVE-NG instead of UNetLab?ĮVE-NG is the new version of UNetLab.

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.

When using the EVE-NG virtual machine on a Linux computer, I had to resolve a few problems related to the way VMware Player works in Linux. Its graphical user interface runs in a web browser. The UNetLab/EVE-NG network emulator runs in a virtual machine so it can be set up Windows, Mac OS, or Linux computers. UNetLab is the current, stable version of the network emulator and EVE-NG is an updated version of the same tool, available as an alpha release. EVE-NG and UNetLab are graphical network emulators that support both commercial and open-source router images.
