This is a complete Lab kit that for the new Cisco CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure Lab Exam ver 1.1

It includes anEVE-NG VM loaded with the following main features:

- DNAC Simulator
- ISE Simulator
- Viptela SD-WAN Controllers

Please note that the DNAC Simulator is not a fully featured DNAC Virtual Appliance (just a Simulator)

However, the Simulator does provide all the functions needed for the CCIE Lab Exam such as:
SDA Fabric Design/Deployment, SDA Macro Segmentation using VNs (Virtual Networks), SDA Micro Segmentation using SGTs (Security Group Tags), etc.

We do offer fully featured DNAC Virtual Appliance as a separate item though (see our other items)

This Lab is is built using a Dell R620 Server w/ 256GB RAM (up to 384GB) + 2TB SSD with VMware ESXi 6.7The Dell R620 is a Powerful Server with 2 x Ten-Core Processors (Xeon E5-2680v2).Each Ten-Core Processor provides 20 vCPU\'s. Therefore, this Server has a total of 40 vCPU\'s

This Lab actually has two EVE-NG VM\'s meant to support 2 different Lab Topologies:

- EVE-NG VM No.1 with DNAC + ISE Simulator loaded w/ CLC (ccielabcenter.com) CCIE EI Lab
- EVE-NG VM No.2 with Viptela SD-WAN loaded w/ Internetwork Expert (ine.com) CCIE EI Lab

In addition, this Lab also includes the following extra VMs:- 1 x CML-2 ver 2.6.1 VM (License not included)
- 1 x Windows 2019 Server VM with 180-day Trial version
- 1 x Cisco ISE Server ver 3.1 (Identity Services Engine) with 90-Day Demo License

Physical Server\'s Main Features:- 2 x Ten-Core Processors (Xeon E5-2680v2 ==> 40 vCPU\'s)
- 4 x Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
- 256GB RAM (supports up to 384GB)
- 2TB SSD Drive (can be upgraded to 4TB)
- VMware ESXi 6.7 Enterprise Version (w/ Permanent License)Please also notice that a Monitor is not included. You\'ll need a Monitor and a Keyboard to operate this Server.
CCIE EI Lab Topologies:As mentioned before, this Lab has been built to support 2 different Lab Topologies: - Inter Network Expert CCIE EI Lab (ine.com)
- CCIE Lab Center (CLC) EI Lab (ccielabcenter.com)

Each Lab Topology is built in a separate EVE-NG VM (2 independent VM\'s)INE\'s Topology uses ten SD-WAN-enabled Virtual Routers, which are built in 2 different ways:- 10 x CAT8000v Routers (built as Independent VM\'s)
- 10 x IOSv-L3 Routers (built inside an EVE-NG VM)All Routers are deployed in Autonomous Mode (AM), which means that they can only be configured and managed via CLI; not through the vManage Controller..But they can be converted to Controller-Mode, which allows mgmt through the vManage Controller.This Lab could be used by those who have bought CLC\'s CCIE EI Lab Book (ccielabcenter.com)
because It includes a separate EVE-NG VM that is already loaded with the CLC CCIE EI LabHaving your own Home Lab will keep you from paying for Rack Time which can add up quickly!As the Lab Diagrams show, CLC Lab Topology is very complete and complex one.
It includes several sites: HQ, Datacenter, Service Provider (SP) and 4 Branches.Please note that the EVE-NG VM for CLC\'s Topology has everything, including a DNAC VM!Although the DNAC and ISE VM\'s are only Simulators (not fully functional Appliances) they do provide the main functions needed for the CCIE EI Lab Exam!As mentioned before, CLC offers a Lab Book with very specific Lab Exercises. However, the CCIE Lab Book is not included with this item.

Please contact CLC directly if you need to buy their Lab Book.

EVE-NG Virtual Machine:

The EVE-NG Virtual Machines included in this Lab are the most important components of it.

Both VMs provides full SD-WAN functionality.

That is, they provide all the Network Nodes needed to simulate a Viptela SD-WAN NetworkThis includes SD-WAN Controllers (known as Control Plane components) and WAN Edge Nodes:

- vBond
- vSmart
- vManageWAN Edge Nodes, also known as the Data or Forwarding Plane Devices, can be implemented in 2 ways:- vEdge Cloud Routers
- IOS XE Virtual Routers (CSR1000v or CAT8000v)

INE\'s EVE-NG VM also includes a Fully Configured and ready to use Sample SD-WAN NetworkThis is done just to demonstrate the full SD-WAN functionality of this VM.

We provide all the Configuration Files that you can use to build your own SD-WAN Networ

CML-2 VM:This Lab also includes a CML-2 VM because INE uses CML for many of their Lab Exercises.But CML-2 is a Licensed product sold directly by Cisco; its price for a 1-Year CML-2 License for $200.The VM included in this Lab doesn\'t have a License though.However, you could use the EVE-NG VM instead of CML-2 for almost all Lab Exercises!

Therefore, CML-2 is just an optional element of this Lab and there is no real need to buy a License for it.

Upgrade Options:The new requirements for CCIE EI Lab Exam, which can be found at the URL shown below, include the use of 4 x Physical Switches. Switches provide many advanced features not available in Virtual Switches, like TrustSec and SGTs (Security Group Tags).The Lab Exam Blueprint includes 9300 Switches, but these Switches are still a bit expensive.However, there are some cheaper alternatives that could be used instead of 9300 Switches.Switches like the Cisco 3650/3850 also provide TrustSec and SGT functionality for a lower cost.

Therefore, we offer the option to add Physical Switches (3650, 3850 or even 9300) to this Lab.
We can also upgrade some of the Server\'s main features, such as RAM, Drive and CPU\'s.

For instance, our Dell Server comes with 256GB RAM, but this can be upgraded to 384GB

A RAM upgrade may be needed to simulate large SD-WAN Networks, which are RAM hungry!

This Server comes with 2 x Ten-Core Processors (40 vCPU\'s).

But they can be upgraded to the 12-Core version (E5-2695v2) which would yield a total 48 vCPU\'s

The Server\'s Drive capacity is 2TB, but it can be upgraded to 4TB SSD.

Please contact us for price and availability of these upgrade options.

Training Materials:We include a large set of Lab Exercises for INE\'s TopologyIn addition, for INE\'s Topology we also include all the initial configuration files that can be loaded either on CML-2 or EVE-NG. Once again, the CCIE Lab Book is not included with this item.

Warranty:Our Servers are fully tested and therefore they are guaranteed to work!

If you experience any problems, we\'ll replace it!We are PWR Sellers with a 100% positive response Record (please check out our response Record)Therefore, you can buy with confidence from us.
Processing Time and Shipping:Due to the complex nature of this item, we need 3 business days to prepare it (Software installation, configuration & testing)
