Cisco Images
Image Types
Section titled “Image Types”EVE-NG supports multiple Cisco image formats for lab topologies:
| Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Cisco IOL | Lightweight IOS on Linux — routers and switches |
| QEMU | Full IOS/IOS-XE images — higher fidelity, more resource-intensive |
The EVE-NG VM is sized for both IOL and QEMU workloads — see EVE-NG Deployment.
Loading Images
Section titled “Loading Images”Step-by-step procedures for uploading and licensing IOU/QEMU images in EVE-NG will be documented here. Current lab uses Cisco IOL nodes for routing and switching emulation.
Current Status
Section titled “Current Status”Images are loaded and operational in the EVE-NG environment. Detailed upload paths, version matrix, and licensing notes are pending documentation.
