Installing Eveng and Adding Images From different Sources
Today, I explored configuring various image types in EVE-NG, including Cisco VIOS, IOL, and Docker containers.
Unfortunately, I ended up breaking the installation by attempting to add features not supported in the Community Edition.
This marks my second day of troubleshooting EVE-NG failures, so I plan to perform a clean setup tomorrow.
Created my first multi-device lab topology with routers and switches.
#eve-ng#lab#cisco
Console Output
$Designed a simple enterprise network topology with 3 routers and 2 switches.
$Configured basic IP addressing and verified connectivity.
$Practiced console access and basic IOS commands.
$Saved the lab as a template for future use.

The Day I Discovered My EVENG Was Pro… After Importing EVERYTHING
I spent the whole 3 hours today learning, scripting, importing, renaming, and perfectly organizing every VIOS image for EVE-NG — only to realize at the very end that I was using the PRO version without a license. Now I have to reinstall everything all over again.
Console Output
$Started learning how to import and organize all VIOS images from the CML refplat ISO.
$Built scripts to automate folder creation and image renaming for EVE-NG.
$Followed naming conventions exactly as the documentation demanded and David Bombal Instructed on the video — into their correct folders.
$Ran fixpermissions… only to get the beautiful message: 'ERROR: Unlicensed'.
$Discovered the shocking plot twist: I installed EVE-NG PRO instead of Community.
$Realized my entire setup needs to be reinstalled from scratch.
$Accepted my fate and moved on with dignity (and mild pain).
