So, let’s start!ĭownload and Install EVE-NG on VMWare Workstation / ESXiįirst, you need to set up the VMWare Workstation on your machine. Therefore, we can install a Cisco ASAv firewall on it. EVE is a great network simulator that will enhance your network learning. So, it will be a great idea to deploy and learn the Cisco ASA on virtual platforms such as VMWare Workstation, KVM. You can achieve the almost same functionality on a virtual firewall. Cisco ASA Firewall comes with Hardware and Virtual platforms. For more information, see interfaces(5).In this article, I’ll install Cisco ASA Firewall in EVE-NG. # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system Unified Networking Lab – Connecting ESX VM to the Internet Related Articles, References, Credits, or External Links My Network has DHCP on it, so my router picked up an IP from my LAN, and once I’d given it a default route, I now have full internet access from the lab. You may want to change the name from Net, to something like ‘Internet’.Ĭonnect a device to it, (I’m using a router, because they are quick and easy to setup). Select Cloud1 (remember this is mapped to pnet1, which is bridged to eth1.). In your lab workspace add a ‘Network’ object.

Now they are labelled Cloud1, Cloud2, etc. These used to be labelled pnet1, pnet2, etc. On the Security tab > Tick ‘Override’, and set it to ‘Accept’ > OK.įorged Transmits: You will also need to enable this, (if you use VLAN tagging in your network!)Ībove, (if you remember) the vNIC (eth1) was bridged to pnet1. If you are using the older VMware (Fat) client, see the link at the bottom of the page for the older UNL article. so we need to enable promiscuous mode on the port-groupthat we connected to earlier, (mine was called VM Network). Your Hyper Visor (VMware) needs to be able to see traffic from your EVE-NG devices, coming out though the vNIC we added earlier, that means a lot of MAC addresses are going to be coming from the MAC address of that vNIC.
