Run OcNOS in EVE-NG.

Import the free OcNOS-SP VM into EVE-NG and build multi-node BGP, MPLS and L3VPN topologies with the OcNOS CLI. No hardware and no credit card required.

Wire any OcNOS topology on one canvas

EVE-NG CANVAS OcNOS-SP VMs R1 OcNOS R2 OcNOS R3 OcNOS R4 OcNOS

Import the free OcNOS-SP VM as EVE-NG nodes and wire the topology you need, then test Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS and multicast configurations across it.

Why run OcNOS in EVE-NG

EVE-NG gives OcNOS a multi-node canvas. You learn the OcNOS CLI and test configurations in the topologies you plan to deploy, before any hardware arrives.

Built for feature testing

CLIs for Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS and multicast features, with a 365-day license. Data plane forwarding is limited, so the VM is not for performance or full-bandwidth traffic tests.

Multi-node topologies

Wire several OcNOS routers into an end-to-end network: cores, PEs, and CEs on one canvas to validate a design before you build it.

Free, no hardware

The evaluation VM is free and runs in your own EVE-NG lab. No appliance or credit card is required.

Try before you buy

Test OcNOS configurations against your requirements first, then plan the deployment on qualified hardware with our team.

How to run OcNOS in EVE-NG

01

Get the free VM

Download the OcNOS-SP evaluation image after a short form. The download starts right away, served from our CDN.

02

Import into EVE-NG

Place the OcNOS image in the EVE-NG image directory for its node type so EVE-NG can launch it as a node.

03

Build and boot your lab

Drop OcNOS nodes on the canvas, connect the links, boot them, and configure the network from the OcNOS CLI.

What you can lab

The OcNOS VM includes the CLIs for these Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS and multicast features. The complete OcNOS feature set runs on qualified hardware.

IS-IS / OSPF BGP BFD / VRRP LDP / RSVP RSVP FRR VPLS / VPWS BGP MPLS L3VPN PIM / IGMP

Want a guided build? Follow the EVE-NG walkthrough for a five-router BGP L3VPN lab.

OcNOS in EVE-NG: common questions

Can I run OcNOS in EVE-NG?
Yes. OcNOS-SP ships as a free VM image you import into EVE-NG as a node. The VM comes with a 365-day license and the CLIs for Layer 2, Layer 3, MPLS and multicast features. Data plane forwarding is limited, so use it for feature and configuration testing, not performance testing.
How do I add OcNOS to EVE-NG?
Download the free OcNOS-SP VM, place the image in the EVE-NG image directory for its node type, then add OcNOS nodes to a lab and connect them. Boot a node and log in to the OcNOS CLI to start configuring.
What labs can I build with OcNOS in EVE-NG?
Multi-node labs with IS-IS, OSPF and BGP, MPLS with LDP and RSVP (including RSVP FRR), VPLS, VPWS, BGP MPLS L3VPN and multicast. The download includes BGP L3VPN configurations for the quick-start topology: a cell site router, three aggregation routers and a core router.
Is the OcNOS EVE-NG image free?
Yes. The OcNOS-SP evaluation VM is free. Complete a short form and the download starts immediately, with no hardware and no credit card required.
Does OcNOS also run in GNS3, KVM, or VirtualBox?
Yes. The same free OcNOS-SP evaluation is available for GNS3, KVM/QEMU, VMware vSphere, and VirtualBox. Each option ships the image format that hypervisor expects.
