EVE-NG admits a node by the CPU and RAM set on it, so a running node counts against your plan at these values. This template starts nodes at 4 vCPU and 4,096 MB, which fits the free demo’s 6 vCPU and 8 GB, so you can start one there and open its console.

Two OS10 switches routing for two VLANs

Put a host on an access VLAN on each switch, route between the switches with eBGP over a point-to-point link, and learn the OS10 CLI as you go.

  • 2×OS10 virtual switch dellos104 vCPU, 4096 MB each
  • 2×Tiny Core Linux clbtinycore1 vCPU, 512 MB each

Added with these defaults, the lab uses 10 vCPU and 9 GB of RAM. The smallest plan that fits is Standard, with 12 vCPU and 16 GB: £5 a day, or £1.25 an hour On-Demand.

Licences are yours to bring

CloudLabBox doesn't provide Dell licences or support entitlements. If OS10 asks for a licence for your exercise, use your own or a Dell evaluation.

Questions about OS10

What is Dell OS10?

Dell SmartFabric OS10 is Dell's Linux-based network operating system for data centre switches. Its virtual edition runs the same CLI in a virtual machine.

Is OS10 based on Linux?

Yes. OS10 runs on Debian Linux, with Dell's network CLI on top.

How do I save the OS10 configuration?

Run write memory in the switch before you stop the node. EVE-NG saves the topology, but each device keeps its own configuration.

Dell: what was checked for the OS10 virtual switch?

dellos10-10.5.4.3.6V reached its login prompt. Use the Dell OS10 profile. The management adapter is mgmt 1/1/1; data interfaces start at eth 1/1/1. Connect your switching exercise to the data interfaces.

From the node tips, updated 9 October 2026.

Which OS10 images are installed?

14 images, all listed on this page exactly as Add Node shows them. The newest is dellos10-10.6.0.1-35V-S6010.

How much CPU and RAM does a OS10 node use?

When you add one, the dellos10 template adds 4 vCPU and 4096 MB of RAM. You can change both in Add Node, and your plan counts what each running node is set to.
