Description: This is a Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab ver 1.1This Lab could be used with 2 different Lab Topologies: - INE CCIE EI Lab Topology (includes EVE-NG VM) - CLC CCIE EI Lab Topology (optional Topology that requires an upgrade)The Lab includes an EVE-NG Virtual Machine loaded with Viptela SD-WAN Controllers.It's built using a Dell R620 Server w/ 128GB RAM + 1TB SSD Drive with VMware ESXi 6.7Dell R620's are very Powerful Servers 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 768GB!) - 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 5.0.1 (needed to simulate a Viptela SD-WAN Network) - 1 x CML-2 ver 2.7.0 (Latest version; License not included) - 1 x Windows 2019 Server with 180-day Trial version - 1 x Cisco ISE Server ver 3.0 (Identity Services Engine) with 90-Day Demo License - 1 x Ubuntu Server ver 20.04.2 configured with NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) - 4 x IOSv-L2 Virtual Switches built inside EVE-NG - 10 x CAT8000v Virtual Routers built as independent VM's CCIE EI Equipment Requirements:The new requirements for CCIE EI Lab Exam can be found at this URL:www.ciscoland.bayjenweb.com/f/CCIE_EI_v1.1_Equipment_and_Software_List.pdfAs this URL shows, the new CCIE EI Lab Exam requires the following Virtual Machines: - Cisco CAT8000v (Replaces the old CSR Routers) with IOS XE SD-WAN ver 16.12 - Cisco IOSv-L3 Routers w/ IOS Software ver 15.8 - Cisco IOSv-L2 Switches w/ IOS Software ver 15.2 - Cisco DNA Center Release 2.3.x - Cisco SD-WAN (vManage, vBond, vSmart, vEdge) Software ver 20.9 Supporting Virtual Machines: - Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) - Ubuntu Server ver 18.04.5 - Windows ServerPlease note that this item does not include a DNAC VMHowever, it is possible to upgrade the Server to enable it to support CLC Lab Topology. The CLC Lab includes an additional EVE-NG VM that comes with a DNAC Simulator. Lab Topologies:As mentioned before, this Lab can be used with 2 different Lab Topologies: - INE CCIE EI Lab Topology (ine.com) and - CLC CCIE EI Lab Topology (ccielabcenter.com)INE's Lab Topology needs 10 x Virtual Routers (SD-WAN compatible) CLC CCIE EI Lab Topology is not included by default though. The Server needs a RAM and/or Disk upgrade to support this Lab Topology. As mentioned above, the CLC Lab includes a DNAC Simulator! Therefore, it is highly recommended to add this upgrade. Please contact us for details about the upgrade options. Virtual Switches vs Physical Switches:INE's Lab Topology also requires 4 x LAN Switches, which can be either Virtual or PhysicalOur Lab provides Virtual LAN Switches using the IOSv-L2 Software through the EVE-NG VMHaving Virtual IOSv-L2 Switches ready to go in the EVE-NG VM allows you to use this Lab it right away without having to buy Physical Switches!However, please notice that Cisco recommends using Physical Switches because the IOSv-L2 Software doesn't provide some of the advanced functions needed for the Lab.IOSv-L2 Switches are good enough to provide basic connectivity and some basic L2/L3 functions. And this should be enough to do most Lab Exercises.But if you want to do more complex Lab Exercises that deal with more advanced Switching functions, then you may want consider getting 4 x Physical SwitchesPhysical Switches can be connected to the Server at any time and they can be easily combined with Virtual Routers. Please check out the Upgrades Section below for more details. EVE-NG Virtual Machine:The EVE-NG VM provided with this Lab includes several types of Virtual Devices (Routers, Switches, Firewalls, etc.)It also provides full Viptela SD-WAN functionality, version 20.9.3, which is required by the new CCIE EI Lab Exam ver 1.1This includes SD-WAN Controllers (known as Control Plane components) and WAN Edge Nodes - vBond - vSmart - vManageWAN Edge Nodes (known as Data/Forwarding Plane devices) can be implemented in 2 ways: - vEdge Cloud Routers - IOS XE Virtual Routers (CSR1000v or CAT8000v)In our EVE-NG VM you'll find a Fully Configured and ready to use Sample SD-WAN NetworkThis is done just to demonstrate the full SD-WAN functionality of our EVE-NG VM.We provide all the Configuration Files that you can use to build your own SD-WAN Network Combining Virtual Routers with Virtual or Physical Switches:As mentioned before, the EVE-NG VM is also used to implement 4 x IOSv-L2 SwitchesBut in addition to these Switches, the EVE-NG VM also includes a set of 10 x IOSv RoutersThat is, this Lab has 2 sets of Virtual Routers: - 10 x IOS XE Routers (built as Independent VM's) - 10 x IOSv-L3 Routers (built inside the EVE-NG VM)So you could use either set of Virtual Routers, both of which can be connected to the set of Virtual SwitchesAnd if you add Physical Switches to the Lab, the Routers could be connected to either set of Switches (Virtual or Physical)So you'll have 4 potential combinations: - IOS XE Routers (independent VM) connected to Virtual Switches - IOS XE Routers (independent VM) connected to Physical Switches - IOSv-L3 Routers (within EVE-NG) connected to Virtual Switches - IOSv-L3 Routers (within EVE-NG) connected to Physical SwitchesOf course you may also add extra Virtual Routers (IOS XE or IOSv) and extra IOSv SwitchesThus, this item provides a very flexible Lab environment with many configuration options. Warranty:Our Servers are fully tested and therefore they are guaranteed to work!If you experience any problems, we'll replace it!Therefore, you can buy with confidence from us. Processing and Shipping Time:Due to the complex nature of this item, we need 3-4 business days to prepare it (Software installation, configuration & testing)Ground shipping fee applies to the Continental USA (lower 48 states) only.Typical Transit time is 2-5 business days via FedEx Ground (it depends on where you live)Therefore, this item may take up to 9 business days for delivery. Please take this into account.Please ask for a shipping quote for Orders outside the Continental USA or International ones.
