Access the EVE-NG web interface for the first time by entering the VM IP in a browser, log in with admin and password EVE, and use Mozilla Firefox.
Install the EVE-NG Windows client. The client pack installs PuTTY, Plink, UltraVNC, and Wireshark to enable Telnet/SSH, remote capture, and access to Cisco devices and Windows or Linux images.
Learn how to install Cisco ASA on EVE-NG by creating the images directory, uploading the image via WinSCP or FileZilla, renaming to virt.io.qcuf2, and applying permissions.
Explore part 1 of eve-ng's management menu to clone, rename, and move labs, organize them into folders, and import or export labs, including recovering deleted labs.
Explore the lab preview and global settings, viewing node positions and connectivity and adjusting the size with the scale option, then open, edit, or delete labs, adding descriptions and tasks.
Add objects in EVE-NG using the web topology page or the sidebar, accessible via the add object menu from the sidebar or by right-clicking the topology page.
Learn to add and customize custom shapes in the EVE-NG topology, including circles and squares, with editable border and background colors, and options for solid or dashed borders and resizing.
Explore the EVE-NG cloud and networks by creating bridge and management clouds, linking multiple devices, configuring IP addressing, DHCP, and NAT for practical topology testing.
Explore configuring nodes and networks in the lab, adjusting non-running node settings (cpu, memory, boot image, console) and editing or deleting networks.
Discover how to use EVE-NG's startup config to export node configurations—hostnames, interfaces, and VLANs—and control boot order from nvram or saved configs.
Are you spending more time building EVE-NG labs than actually learning networking?
This course is designed to help you accelerate your hands-on networking journey by focusing on real practice instead of time-consuming lab preparation. You will learn how to work with a complete EVE-NG lab environment that includes preconfigured topologies, practical workbooks, and a wide range of enterprise networking and security scenarios.
Throughout the course, you will gain experience using Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Juniper, VMware, Linux, and Windows-based lab environments while practicing real-world routing, switching, security, data center, and troubleshooting tasks.
The training includes guided labs covering technologies such as OSPF, EIGRP, BGP, VLANs, STP, NAT, ACLs, SD-WAN, Cisco ISE, Firepower, Nexus Data Center technologies, and multi-vendor enterprise deployments.
Whether you are preparing for CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, security certifications, or simply looking to improve your practical networking skills, this course provides a structured path to hands-on experience.
Instead of wasting hours creating topologies and troubleshooting lab setup issues, you can focus on configuring devices, verifying results, solving problems, and building real-world expertise.
