So, I searched a documentation or a blog post about how to install and run GNS3 or EVE-NG under Hyper-V. For example, to start a VM under VMware workstation when Hyper-V start as a service, I must first stop Hyper-V, do a reboot, and then I can start the VM under VMware. And VMware Workstation does not coexist well with Microsoft Hyper-V on the same machine. But have a problem here, I use Microsoft Hyper-V for other VMs tests, as well as for Docker for Windows. So, as an alternative to Cisco VIRL, I had two obvious choices: GNS3 or EVE-NG.įor running one of the three solutions (including VIRL) on a laptop under Windows 10, it is recommended and documented to use VMware Workstation. With the exceptional opportunities of the different cloud solutions actually, this is probably not the best solution, but it suits me well for a small lab and I’d like to continue to have this possibility. I got used to install the client and the server parts of VIRL on my laptop, to not have to worry about connectivity when I want to do a lab or a demo to a colleague or a customer. Recently, my license for Cisco VIRL expired and I wanted to test alternatives to have a lab on my laptop.
