Good day,

I'd really like to see the maximum number of interfaces raised so that all 3 modules/48 ports on the Nexus switches are usable. The reason being is that I'd like to split them up into different VDCs (assuming VDCs are supported in VIRL), hoping to consolidate and use less resources versus having independent switches using a single VDC. It's an assumption on my part that I would have a gain in efficiency, but it was something that I was looking to try.

I'd also like to express a desire for detailed documentation on exactly what VIRL can and can't do, along with more information about back-end limitations of the VIRL platform. To me it seems like I am learning more through discovery versus having a decent grasp on where limitations exist and thus can design topologies around limitations to begin with (which is what lead to my feature request, seeing 3 48 port modules and wanting to use them for connections).If there was a definitive administrator's guide and a design guide, I would think it would be easier to make informed decisions when designing topologies versus having a go and seeing what works. Instead I'm often reading through forum posts, watching a good number of YouTube videos, and reading any blogs that I can find to cobble together a good understanding of what VIRL can and can't do. I don't mean for this to be a harsh rebuke or criticism (my apologies if it comes across that way), but I'm just trying to relay my thoughts and hopefully add to the drumbeat for thorough documentation. Thanks for reading my request!

Before the last couple of updates, my CSR1000V would boot up normally without any pre-config. Now, when the CSR1000V boots, it goes through some kind of auto config routine and assigns a 10.x.x.x IP address and attempts to find it's config on a TFTP server, etc. I tried setting the IP addressing to "none" on the auto nat kit menu in Maestro but it still does this. I just want the router to boot up with a blank config and hostname of "router" just like IOSv. Am I missing something or did they change the way the image works on this particular node type? Thanks

Maybe I'm doing something really wrong here, but I'm having an issue with saving vlan information which i'm finding very annoying.

I save my configs as transparent mode, issue wr mem, extract the configuration, stop the simulation, view the config under the design tab and I can see it shows as vtp mode transparent with all the vlans saved. But when I load the simulation it loads as vtp server and of course with no vlans.

Anybody know how to fix this?

Hi,

I have 2 IOSv2L2 switches which I've created an LACP port-channel between and when I remove the media-type rj45 from the interfaces, the device restarts - I get error messages regarding spanning-tree cpu hog and the switches reload.

swt02# conf t

Same happens when just doing 'no media-type'
Anyone know why this happens?

Hi guys, I'm new of Cisco VIRL, I'm in difficult.
My goals are create a simple network topology (for example three ios router), to custom nodes (add a network interface on they) and run nodes.
I do not want use AutoNet Kit/autoconfiguration, so what are the steps?

Hi,

I need a support to understand the feature that my server must have to run correctly a topology with 30 nodes.
I have a license for 30 nodes.
My server features are:

• ESXi, 6.0.0
• 4×Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2603 v2 @ 1.80GHz
• 42GB di RAM.
• Server Dell PowerEdge R720

The maximun number of node that I can run is 12. You can see it from the picture in attachment.

I am waiting for you answer!

Thank you very much!

Best Regards
Lorenzo

P.S.: Can you confirm me that I can implement in VIRL enviroment LACP and VPC between 2 routers using IOS XE?

I do not have any active simulations (I checked it on GUI). However, I receive "Exceeded quota(s): {'instances': {'required': 15, 'available': 13}}" error. I have VIRL academic edition (up to 20 nodes).

I have restarted Maestro, VIRL guest but I still get the same error.

Could you please assist?

Hello VIRL,

We have an existing VIRL installation where the license was purchased by my colleague. But now i will buy the renewal license using my email ID etc. This time the plan is to buy 30 nodes license

Will the new license work on the existing VIRL instance?
Can i still get the 10% discount if the buyer details changes for the existing VIRL setup?

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone been able to create Port-Channel's on the ASAv?

When I attempt to create it by using 'ciscoasa(config)# interface port-channel 1 I don't have the auto-complete and it doesn't accept the command either.

Anyone know if it's even possible to create port-channels on the ASAv in Virl? Apparently on the Cisco documentation you can on the full device.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa94/config-guides/cli/general/asa-94-general-config.pdf

I'm trying to create an LACP Port-Channel to an IOSvL2 switch and I can't get the ASA part working.

Any help or advice appreciated.

hi everyone, just disregard the post. i managed to fix the issue by restating the VMware NAT service from the admin tools, which had been stopped for some reason, thanks.

I have been a big fan of VIRL and now working at the largest Cisco reseller in Japan. I do want to use VIRL for our internal evaluation and testing. We have 300 racks filled by real devices for POC. We need more devices and more agility, so I believe VIRL should complement real devices.
We do not need TAC support so CML is not an option. (FYI: Japan TAC does not support CML, so no support in Japanese language even if we bought CML)

Then I would like to know under what situation, we can use VIRL for business. I went through EULA and found below statements. Could you please be more specific about "internal business purposes"? I found similar thread regarding academic use but not for business use.

(Excerpt from VIRL EULA)
Conditioned upon compliance with the terms and conditions of the

license to use for Customer’s internal business purposes the Software
and the Documentation for which Customer has paid the required license

I have the ports for VIRL to get to SALT but need a complete list if ones available.
