How to Enable Virtualization on BIOS PC and EVE-NG VM
Note:
- You must enable Virtualization to run Qemu Node on VM.
- You have to make sure Virtualization is enabled in your BIOS
Note: For Windows 11, you should allow Virtualization in BIOS, but you also have to go into Windows Features and manually disable security features prohibiting Virtualization. You have to „untick“
1. Go to Control Panel → Programs → Enable or disable Windows features.
2. Uncheck all the features of Windows Hypervisor.
3. In the Windows search bar, search for “core isolation” and open it.
4. In the core isolation settings, disable memory integrity.
You can find the details on this link. How to disable Hyper-V on Windows for BlueStacks 4 – BlueStacks Support
How to know Virtualization is enabled on EVE-NG with Putty
SSh to eve-ng with putty and use the below command
grep -cw vmx /proc/cpuinfo
if the Output is Zero means virtualization is not enabled (screenshot1) if more than Zero (screenshot2) means virtualization is enabled.
Note: if it’s Zero you need to shutdown your PC and enable virtualization on your Bios PC or Laptop
How to access the internet from EVE-NG LAB Full Pack nodes?
Note: Although you can use bridge or management network in eve-ng to let eve-ng nodes access the internet, we have managed cloud 1 in the eve-ng full pack to let access the internet from eve-ng nodes, and the allowed range is 192.168.13.0/24, and the default gateway is 192.168.13.1, which is the eve-ng cloud 1 (pnet1) interface.

Native telnet console management setup
If you prefer to use a natively installed telnet client to manage nodes inside EVE, follow the steps below:
NOTE: if after installing eve-ng client pack you have a problem connecting to nodes like Cisco router or Asav! you may need to install windows telnet client like the link below and try again.
Saving EVE-NG labs Configuration
To save a running lab, refer to the vendor's recommended save commands for each node.
Example:
Cisco: “copy run start”
Juniper “commit”
Your current work will be saved in the nodes’ NVRAM and the lab can be stopped safely. Starting the lab again will allow you to pick up from where you left off.

How to fix the SHA Digest of the file doesn’t match the manifest, VMware workstation 16?
- First, try to upload the eve-ng full pack to another disk drive (SSD recommended) and not a USB external drive
- Source drive where you deploy eve-ng VM should not be the same as Destination where the VM located
- Make sure you have at least 150GB of free space (where you deploy OVF file)
- extract downloaded part 1 and 2 with 7zip and try uploading again
- delete .MF file and try upload again
- You can fix this issue with VMware OVF Tool Have a look at this link or download the PDF format of the link
None of the above? Are you downloading with Internet Explorer? If so, you might try using a different browser. Use either Firefox or Chrome to download files because IE corrupts them so often.

How To upgrade EVE-NG Full Pack to a Pro Version
Please first don’t say you have bought the eve-ng full pack from us, and say this is what you have deployed it and needs to upgrade to a pro version because “they accustomed to saying that this is a scam when you say I bought it from someone else.” With that said, you can ask them to upgrade the eve-ng full pack or swap your existing eve-ng pro licence to eve-ng full pack (if you already have a pro licence)
For some reason, maybe you cant upgrade to the eve-ng pro, don’t worry; you can download all qemu images from this path –> /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/ and copy all images with Filezilla or WinSCP client and upload all images to the existing eve-ng pro. For more information, please watch the two videos on how to download and upload images from the eve-ng full pack.
If you need to upgrade your eve-ng community (full pack) version to the pro version!
Please see the link below
Here are the steps, as per the link above you need to go to this path in your eve-ng full pack using Filezilla or WinScp: /opt/unetlab and then copy these three folders into your computer (the paths mentioned in the screenshot) and then you need to install the fresh eve-ng pro and after you have licensed it, copy all these three folders in the same directory from your computer to the eve-ng pro –> /opt/unetlab (screenshot below)
Then there will be one step, you need to generate iol license for your iol nodes like the instruction below
IOL images stop immediately after few seconds!
- First, you can select other images from the image box when you edit the router or switch (R1, R2…); please see the screenshot below.
- Second, Although we have generated a licence for the IOL nodes in the eve-ng full pack in some cases, you need to generate a new licence to make those nodes start normally. If you need to know how to generate a new licence, please watch the below video.
