This is a Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab ver 1.1
It's been built using a Dell R620 Server w/ 128GB RAM + 1TB SSD Drive with VMware ESXi 6.7
The R620 is a very Powerful Server with 2 x Ten-Core Processors (Xeon E5-2660v2 or higher).
Ten-Core Processors provide 20 vCPU's. Therefore, this Server has a total of 40 vCPU's
Physical Server's Main Features:
- 2 x Ten-Core Processors (Xeon E5-2660v2 ==> 40 vCPU's)
- 4 x Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces - 128GB RAM (Server supports up to 384GB!)
- 1TB SSD Drive - Dell SAS SATA RAID Controller - VMware ESXi 6.7 Enterprise Version (with Permanent License)
Note: A Monitor is not included. You'll need a Monitor + Keyboard to operate the Server
Main VM's on the CCIE EI Lab:
These are the main VM's for the CCIE EI Lab:
- 1 x EVE-NG ver 6.2.0 (needed to simulate a Viptela SD-WAN Network)
- 1 x CML-2 ver 2.8.0 (Eval version with Free License for up to 5 Nodes)
- 1 x Windows 2019 Server with 180-day Trial version
- 1 x Cisco ISE Server ver 3.1 (Identity Services Engine) with 90-Day Demo License - 1 x Ubuntu Server ver 20.04.2 configured with NSO (Network Services Orchestrator)
- 10 x CAT8000v Virtual Routers built as independent VM's
EVE-NG Virtual Machine:
Our EVE-NG includes several types of Virtual Devices (Routers, Switches, Firewalls, etc.)
It also provides Cisco/Viptela SD-WAN functionality, version 20.9.3, which is required by the
CCIE EI Lab Exam ver 1.1
This includes SD-WAN Controllers (known as Control Plane components) and WAN Edge Nodes - vBond
- vSmart
- vManage
WAN Edge Nodes (known as Data/Forwarding Plane devices) can be implemented in 2 ways: - vEdge Cloud Routers
- IOS XE Virtual Routers (CSR1000v or CAT8000v)
Our EVE-NG VMs also includes a Fully Configured and ready to use Sample SD-WAN Network
This is done just to demonstrate the full SD-WAN functionality of this VM.
We provide all the Configuration Files that you can use to build your own SD-WAN Network.
Some of the other virtual devices included in our EVE-NG VM are:
This Lab also includes a Cisco CML-2 Virtual Machine.
CML-2 is a Licensed product sold directly by Cisco; its price for a 1-Year CML-2 License for $200
However, Cisco offers a limited version (or evaluation version) of this VM, with a with a Free License for up to 5 Nodes!
Therefore, you can start using CML-2 for trial simulations of up to 5 Nodes without a License.
However, to build a Lab with more than 5 nodes, you'll need to buy an actual License.
Training Materials:
We include a large set of Lab Exercises for INE's Topology
For INE's Topology we also include all the Videos for the CCIE EI Lab Boopcamp.
In addition, we also include all the initial configuration files for INE's Topology,
which can be loaded on the CAT8000v Routers or on the CML-2 or EVE-NG VM's
Upgrade Options:
The Dell R620 Server is configured with 128GB RAM and a 1TB SSD Drive.
We offer the option to upgrade these features.
For instance, RAM can be upgraded to 256GB or 384GB
The SSD Drive can also be upgraded to 2TB or 4TB
Please contact us for price and availability of these upgrade options.
