Using EVE-NG with


Juniper Topologies
19.10.2021

Christian Scholz ( @chsjuniper )


Agenda
• Why do we need Labs?
• EVE-NG
• Virtual / Hardware Sizing
• Installing EVE-NG
• Getting the node images
• Tips
• Q&A
Why do we need Labs?
• Study for Certification

• Recap of courses (AATP)

• Verifying a solution for ourselves / partner / customer

• The „right“ tools for the „right“ Job


Why EVE-NG?
• Multivendor // Vendor neutral
• Virtual and Bare-Metal
• Easy to install

• From small to HUGE


• Watch out for copycats!

• Genuine: https://www.eve-ng.net/
EVE-NG‘s Flavors
• EVE Pro (Ubuntu 18.04) and EVE Community (Ubuntu 16.04)
• Everything you need can be done with the Community Edition
• However… Pro offers a TON of convenient „addons“:
+ Hot-Link-Add, Integrated Wireshark, HTML5-Desktop, EVE-Cluster
Virtual or Hardware?
• Ubuntu installed on BMS and EVE installed

Hypervisor Juniper
Hardware
(KVM) [EVE] vDevice

• ESXi installed on BMS and EVE as VM inside ESXi

Hypervisor Hypervisor Juniper


Hardware
(ESX) (KVM nested) [EVE] vDevice

• Windows Client running Workstation, running EVE

OS Hypervisor Hypervisor Juniper


Hardware
(Windows) (Workstation) (KVM nested) [EVE] vDevice
Virtual or Hardware?
• What‘s your goal?

• Bare for „heavy Labs“, long-term PoC or permanent Labs

• Virtual for „Small“ Labs, temporary Labs,


„just testing stuff on the plane“

• Remember: v-Devices tend to be resource hungry


What Hardware? System Requirements?
• DL360G7 – 288GB RAM max. (18x16GB)

• DL360G8 – 768GB RAM max. (24x32GB)

• Dell, Lenovo, Fujitsu – doesn‘t matter! Use „beginning of year“ refresh


What Hardware? System Requirements?
• More Cores = More Performance!

• Use 10k/15k Disks or SSD‘s (if money does not count)

• RAM is not your worst enemy – it‘s the CPU / Disk

• Use EVE-NG Pro and build Clusters.


Cheap Servers combined can be way more powerful

• EVE can run on any System that allows virtualization


Ubuntu System Requirements count

• What do you want to do with it?


Install EVE-NG „Bare“
• Get Ubuntu 16.04 / 18.04: https://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/
• Follow section 3.3.1 from the official EVE-NG Cookbook:
https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/community-cookbook/
• It tells you what settings to use, what to edit and how to prepare the Server

• Follow the steps CAREFULLY!

• Run the Install script

• reboot
Install EVE-NG „VM“
• Get the ovf:
https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/download/

• Start the OVF in Vmware Player / Vmware Workstation / ESX

• Lab away ;)
Juniper Images for EVE-NG
• In General: all KVM images are supported
• vQFX, vMX, vSRX, Space (SD+SDI,PE), JATP, vRR, 128T, Apstra

The good advice – save the pain for later
• Multicore-Problem – less is more
• vQFX em1 Interface
• Virtual Chassis / VCF on vQFX
• Booting the Labs might take TIME…
• Remember the „int“ links
How do I start after I installed EVE?
• Upload images to your eve (described in the cookbook)
• Login to your EVE-NG Webpage
• Create an „empty“ Lab
• Start adding „nodes“
• When satisfied (or interested) start your lab and enjoy the power and
easyness of JunOS ;)
EVE-Lab-Library
• https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/lab-library/
Share your Labs!
• There are a TON of Labs out there
• Your creativity is the limit
• Use the Workbooks from Courses to re-create Labs
• Start with small „chunks“ / split the labs first
New EVE-Pro Update
• 4.0.1-61 (18.October 2021)

• CPU usage improvement


• User Interface (GUI) speed improvement for huge labs
