Eve-NG: Open-Source Network Emulator

Eve-NG is an open-source network emulator that allows users to build virtual networks and test configurations on virtual routers and switches. It provides a graphical interface for designing topologies and configuring virtual devices.

What is Eve-NG?

Eve-NG (Emulab version for Next Generation) is an open-source network emulator that allows users to build virtual networks and test configurations on virtual routers, switches, and other network devices. It provides a graphical user interface for designing network topologies, dragging and dropping devices, configuring virtual devices, and connecting them together.

Some key features of Eve-NG include:

• Emulation of complex network topologies with many devices
• Support for actual Cisco IOS images for router/switch virtualization
• A library of pre-configured images and templates
• The ability to integrate real hardware into topologies
• Console and SSH access to virtual devices
• Traffic generators and analysis tools for testing
• Role-based access control and authentication
• APIs for automation and integration with other tools

Eve-NG is used by network engineers for prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting network designs and configurations. It allows testing in a sandbox environment without needing physical hardware. Eve-NG helps network engineers validate configurations prior to deployment, experiment with complex topologies, offer demonstrations, and replicate network issues for troubleshooting.
