Download Unified Networking Lab

In some trivial dry words, UnetLab/EVE-NG is a virtualization tool that gives you many virtual devices and interconnects them with other virtual or physical devices. Many of its features greatly simplify the st abilities, re usability, manageability, inter connectivity, distribution and therefore the ability to understand and share typologies, work, ideas, concepts or simply “labs”. This can simply mean it will reduce the cost and time to set up what you need or it might enable you to do tasks you would not have thought could be done this simple.

it can be used for studying all kinds of latest technologies around the globe . You can learn about general technologies or vendor specific topics. You can test new technologies like network automation, SDN, etc. It can be used to recreate corporate networks and test changes before putting them into production. You can create proof of concepts for clients. You can troubleshoot network issues by recreating them and e.g. use Wireshark to inspect packets. It is most definitely not just for networking, it can be used to test software in simulated networks, test out security vulnerabilities of any kind, system engineering like LDAP and AD servers and many more areas.

System requirements

Unetlab/Eve-NG is available in the OVF or ISO file format. The Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open standard for packaging and distributing virtual appliances. It can be used to deploy a VMin hypervisors like VMware Workstation, Player and ESXi. Please note that installing EVE as a Virtual Machine (VM) will mean any nodes deployed within EVE will be nested. Nested virtualization causes degraded performance in deployed nodes. This should be fine for lab purposes as long as the host meets or exceeds the resource requirements for the deployed nodes. EVE-NG can also be installed directly on physical hardware, without a hypervisor, using the provided ISO image. This is referred to as a “bare metal” install and is the most recommended method of installing EVE-NG

Operation System: ESXi 6.0 or later

Server HW requirements
CPU	Recommended CPU 2x Intel E5-2650v3 (40 Logical processors) or better supporting Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT) Minimum CPU is any Intel Xeon CPU supporting Intel® VT-x with Extended Page Tables (EPT)
RAM	128Gb
HDD Space	2Tb
Network	LAN Ethernet

Note: Performance and quantity of nodes per lab depends from type of nodes used in the lab

Nodes per lab calculator
It is recommended to use the “nodes per lab calculator” to achieve best performance and avoid
overloading your EVE system.

Basically UNetLabv2 has the same UNetLab features plus

• thousands of nodes for each lab;
• labs distributed between dozens of physical or virtual nodes;
• unlimited running labs for each user;
• support for Ansible/NAPALM/… automation tools

So UNetLab v2 is be able to:

• run a distributed lab (between local or geographically distributed nodes);
• run lab with a non-limited number of nodes;
• allow each user to customize a lab without affecting the original copy;
• link serial interfaces between IOL and Dynamips;
• configure nodes via Ansible/NAPALM/whateve

UNetLabv2 is based on

• Docker: controller, routers and lab nodes run inside a Docker container;
• Python: no more C, PHP or Bash, only Python 3;
• Python-Flask + NGINX implement and expose APIs;
• Memcached caches authentication for a better user experience;
• Celery + Redis manages asynchronous long tasks in the background;
• MariaDB stores all data/user and running labs;
• Git stores original labs with a version control;
• jQuery + Bootstrap will implement the UI as a single page app;
• iptables + Linux bridge allow to connect to just started lab nodes via SSH;
• IOL, QEMU and Dynamips run lab nodes.
