I would like to thanks to the following community to make life easy : Intel NUC is not a supported hardware in the compatibility list of VMware, which could be blocker, but many of the blogs is very helpful. Regarding BIOS settings you can customize it by pressing F2 after powering up the system, you can check my video: I had upgraded the BIOS just to test and took help from Intel site, but I do not see it was required: ( You need to download the BIOS driver and save on USB and press F7 to enter to BIOS Flash update screen) This was the start of my proper VMware Home Lab: NUC NUC10i7FNH. This when I decided that I will be using this beast for my VMware Lab, and ordered the first piece, so to review it and calculate the performance. Spec Details you can find in the following link: Among them, the highest-end servers which I got were “NUC10i7FNH” Then I came across with Intel NUC server and it’s available series. Most of the server’s basic issue is with long term bill in regards to cooling and electricity. When I was back in VMware I had the privilege to get one Server from VMC ( VMware on AWS ), which was very powerful and I was able to test most of the products.īut building it for Home Lab I had to review multiple servers which is available in the market.

Building a Vmware home lab is always fun as you come across with a different set of issues. This will bring confidence as well as you can get ideas to design in your VMware home lab. In a a previous video, I showed you how to download and install VMware Workstation Player and how to add EVE-NG to VMware, how to create a topology.In my experience with VMware technology, I would prefer to get first hands-on with VMware HOL.

Use this EVE-NG tutorial to add Cisco images to EVE-NG and get an EVE-NG lab set up. This video is part of a series of videos that give you a full EVE-NG installation guide. This EVE-NG tutorial shows you step by step how to download Cisco IOS images, how to upload them to the EVE-NG server and then how to use them in EVE-NG topologies.

How do you add and use Cisco images in EVE-NG topologies? This video shows you how to download Cisco IOS images from Cisco VIRL and then use them in your EVE-NG networks.
