Arista vEOS and CloudVision in EVE-NG

You can add vEOS from EOS 4.14 to 4.33 in your CloudLabBox workspace, with CloudVision Portal beside it. Practise Arista switching and routing on the same EOS that runs on the hardware.

In Add Node, choose the template, then the image. The template fills in these settings; change them before you start the node.

EVE-NG admits a node by the CPU and RAM set on it, so a running node counts against your plan at these values. The largest of these templates starts nodes at 16 vCPU and 32,768 MB, more than the free demo’s 6 vCPU and 8 GB, so use the demo to find the image and a plan to run it.

A three-switch EVPN-VXLAN fabric

Build one spine and two leaves, run an eBGP underlay with an EVPN overlay, and stretch a VLAN between Alpine hosts on each leaf.

CloudVision Portal is a large node: its template starts at 16 vCPU and 32768 MB.

  • 3×vEOS veos2 vCPU, 6144 MB each
  • 2×Alpine Linux clbalpinebase2 vCPU, 512 MB each

Added with these defaults, the lab uses 10 vCPU and 19 GB of RAM. The smallest plan that fits is Professional, with 18 vCPU and 32 GB: £7.50 a day, or £2 an hour On-Demand.

Licences are yours to bring

CloudLabBox doesn't provide Arista licences or CloudVision subscriptions. Bring your own where your exercise needs one, and request time-server or activation destinations from your Account page.

Questions about vEOS

What is Arista vEOS?

vEOS is Arista's virtual switch, running the same EOS as Arista hardware: VLANs, MLAG, BGP, VXLAN EVPN and eAPI. CloudVision Portal, Arista's management platform, is installed too.

What do the F and M in vEOS version names mean?

Arista marks feature releases with F and maintenance releases with M, so veos-4.33.1F is a feature release of 4.33 and veos-4.32.4M a maintenance release of 4.32.

Do I need CloudVision to use vEOS?

No. Each vEOS switch is configured on its own through the EOS CLI. CloudVision Portal is an optional management node, added from the cvp template.

Arista: how do I start and log in to vEOS?

veos-4.33.1F passed console login and show version checks. Use the standard vEOS allocation of 2 vCPUs and 6144 MB RAM; the required CPU compatibility fix is automatic. A clean image accepts admin with a blank password. If the console asks you to disable Zero Touch Provisioning, run zerotouch cancel; the resulting reload is expected. Mgmt1 is management and data ports begin at Eth1. Set your own password during initial configuration.

From the node tips, updated 9 October 2026.

Arista: what does CloudVision Portal need?

cvp-2024-2-0 reached its serial CentOS 7 login prompt. The CVP profile uses 16 vCPUs and 32 GB RAM, both supplied disks, and separate management and device-network interfaces. CPU and serial-console settings are included in the profile. Working NTP synchronisation is needed for CloudVision services to initialise. Check your account's available resources and request any required time-server access through Account.

From the node tips, updated 9 October 2026.

Which vEOS images are installed?

66 images (62 vEOS, 4 CloudVision Portal (CVP)), all listed on this page exactly as Add Node shows them. The newest is veos-4.33.1.1F.

How much CPU and RAM does a vEOS node use?

When you add one, the veos template adds 2 vCPU and 6144 MB of RAM; the cvp template adds 16 vCPU and 32768 MB of RAM. You can change both in Add Node, and your plan counts what each running node is set to.
