Cisco Images

EVE-NG supports multiple Cisco image formats for lab topologies:

TypeUse Case
Cisco IOLLightweight IOS on Linux — routers and switches
QEMUFull 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.

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.

Images are loaded and operational in the EVE-NG environment. Detailed upload paths, version matrix, and licensing notes are pending documentation.
