Server-based Lab for CCIE Security v6.1 Lab Exam. It uses EVE-NG Network Simulators.
This Lab is built on a Dell T5610 Server w/ 128GB RAM (Max RAM) + 1TB SSD HD
It includes 2 x Ten-Core Processors.(Xeon E5-2660v2 or higher) with 40 vCPU's
This Server is running VMware ESXi 6.7 with a Permanent Enterprise License.
These are the main technical specifications of this CCIE Security Lab:
- 2 x Ten-Core Processors (Xeon E5-2660v2 or higher)
- 3 x Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces - 128GB RAM (Max RAM)
- 1TB SSD Hard Drive (can be upgraded to 2TB)
- VMware ESXi 6.7 Enterprise Version (Permanent License included)
This Lab actually includes five Virtual Machines, two of which are EVE-NG VMs:
- EVE-NG VM No. 1: built exclusively for the CCIE Security Lab v6.1. (includes Lab Workbook)
- EVE-NG VM No. 2: could be used to built any Lab Topology (includes multiple virtual devices)
- Cisco ISE Server ver 3.1. Includes a 90-Day Demo License, but it can be re-installed forever
- Windows 2019 Server. Can be used as DNS Server or Domain Controller (180-day eval. License)
- Ubuntu Server ver 20.04.2 configured with NSO (Network Services Orchestrator)
- CML-2 ver 2.8.0 (includes Free License for up to 5 Nodes!)
EVE-NG VM No. 1 includes 20 pre-built Lab Scenarios with a Lab Workbook with Solutions
The pre-built Lab Scenarios use the following Virtual Appliances:
- Cisco ISEv (Identity Services Engine) version 3.1 - Cisco WSAv (Web Security Appliance) version 12.0.1 - Cisco ESAv (Email Security Appliance) version 12.5.0 - Cisco ASAv (Adaptive Security Appliances) version 9.10.1 - Cisco FTDv (Firepower Threat Defense) version 6.3 - Cisco FMCv (Firepower ManagmentCenter) version 6.3 - Cisco FTDv (Firepower Threat Defense) version 7.0 - Cisco FMCv (Firepower Managment Center) version 7.0 - Cisco NGIPSv (New Gen. Intrusion Prevention System) version 7.0 - Cisco WLCv (Wireless LAN Controller) version 8.3.141 - Kali Linux Server VM (Test Station)
- Windows 10 PC (Test Station)
- Windows 2019 Server (Test Station)
EVE-NG VM No. 2 doesn't have pre-built Labs, but includes newer versions of the virtual devices provided in EVE-NG No.1
It includes some non-Cisco devices like Fortinet Fortigate and CheckPoint Firewalls:
- Cisco ASAv (Adaptive Security Appliances) versions 9.18.2 and 9.20.2 - Cisco FTDv (Firepower Threat Defense) version 7.3 - Cisco FMCv (Firepower Managment Center) version 7.3 - Cisco WSAv (Web Security Appliance) version 14.5.0.537 - Cisco ESAv (Email Security Appliance) version 14.2.1.020 - Cisco L2-IOSv Switch version 20.20 - Cisco L3-IOSv Router version 15.9.3 - Cisco CSR1000v Router version 17.3.5 - Kali Linux Server VM (Test Station)
- Ubuntu Linux Server VM (ver 20.2)
- Cisco WLCv (Wireless LAN Controller) version 8.10.171
- Fortinet Fortigate Firewall version 7.4.2 (other versions available as well)
- CheckPoint Firewall (Gaia) version R81.10 (other versions available as well)
Additional VM's:
The VM's listed for EVE-NG No. 2 doesn't include an ISE VM, as embedding ISE would reduce performance. For this reason we deploy an ISE Engine as a separate VM
This approach is more efficient, as running ISE separately from EVE-NG improves performance
The same thing can be said about the Windows Server, which is also provided as separate VM
The Ubuntu Server instead is provided in both forms, as an independent VM and also
embedded in the EVE-NG Simulator.
All VM's (EVE-NG, ISE and Windows Server) can still communicate with each other though.
We include instructions explaining how to make the VMs communicate with each other.
Please note that this Lab also includes a CML-2 VM 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 a License from Cisco.
Shipping:
Due to the complex nature of this item we need 3-4 days for processing (configuration and testing)
Typical Transit time is 2-5 business days via FedEx Ground (it depends on where you live)
Ground shipping fee applies to the Continental USA (lower 48 states) only.
