EVE-NG Deploying F5 BIG-IP
KB ID 0001696 Problem I already had some F5 Images in my EVE-NG, but I wanted to run version 16.x. However, I didn’t think that was officially supported, so I thought I would try and get it running anyway! Solution Theres no need to scour the internet for ‘dodgy’ versions, F5 will quite happily give you the latest version, just sign up for a free account, and you can download the image. While you are there, you can...
TinyCore Linux: Build a ‘Persistent’ Web Server
KB ID 0001697 Problem Recently I was building a lab for testing load balancing, and needed some web servers, I could have built three Windows servers, but I wanted to run them in EVE-NG, so they had to be as light as I could make them. I chose TinyCore Linux, (I know there are smaller options, but it’s light enough for me to run, and work with). The problem occurs when you reboot the TinyCore host, it (by default) reverts back...
EVE-NG: Committing / Saving Qemu Virtual Machine Settings
KB ID 0001695 Problem I’ve been working on a load balancing lab in EVE-NG this last week or so. I created some web servers (in TinyCore Linux,) to act as the web servers in that lab. (Essentially they serve a different colour web page so I can test the load balancing is working OK). Now I wanted to save the changes I made so that I could redeploy the configured servers to multiple labs. But when you deploy a qemu VM as a node in...
Bring up a VPN Tunnel From the ASA
KB ID 0001604 Problem A colleague was doing a firewall migration yesterday and I offered to sit in, in case he had any problems, one of the tasks was a VPN tunnel getting migrated, this is usually painless, (if you have control of both ends!) But in this case we didn’t, and it’s usually the case, when there’s VPN problems, the people at the {ahem} ‘less experienced,’ end of the tunnel tend to blame the...
EVE-NG on VMware ESX Strange ARP Problems?
KB ID 0001601 Problem I use EVE-NG a lot, it’s an awesome tool. Also I’m lucky enough to have my own ESX servers, so that’s where it lives. I’ve noticed this problem before, but I’ve either given up, and done something else, or it’s manifested itself in an ‘odd’ way that I can work around. If you’re new to connecting EVE-NG to a live network you might want to read the following...
EVE-NG (VMware) Connecting to the Internet
KB ID 0001432 Problem I did an article a while back on doing this with UNL, so I thought I’d revisit it today for EVE-NG. I really like EVE-NG, for proof of concept work, testing, and just learning new products I cant think of any product better. But what if you want to connect your labs to the outside world? Solution In all honesty a lot of this article you can skip, I’m just showing you what’s going on down at the...
