Add it to a lab
In Add Node, choose the template, then the image. The template fills in these settings; change them before you start the node.
| Image | Template | CPU | RAM | Interfaces | Console |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CloudEdge (SG6000 template) | SG6000 | 2 | 2048 MB | 4 interfaces: eth0/0 to eth0/3 | telnet |
| CloudEdge, vIPS, vADC | hillstone | 1 | 2048 MB | 4 interfaces: eth0/0 to eth0/3 | telnet |
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 2 vCPU and 2,048 MB, which fits the free demo’s 6 vCPU and 8 GB, so you can start one there and open its console.
A CloudEdge firewall between trust and untrust
Start CloudEdge on the SG6000 template with an IOSv router on its untrust side and an Alpine Linux host on its trust side, then write zone policy and source NAT between them.
The tested CloudEdge image has its own SG6000 template; every other Hillstone image uses the hillstone template.

SG60002 vCPU, 2048 MB - 1×IOSv
vios1 vCPU, 1024 MB - 1×Alpine Linux
clbalpinebase2 vCPU, 512 MB
Added with these defaults, the lab uses 5 vCPU and 3.5 GB of RAM. The smallest plan that fits is Lite, with 6 vCPU and 8 GB: £3 a day, or £0.50 an hour On-Demand.
Licences are yours to bring
CloudLabBox doesn't provide Hillstone licences, and reaching the login prompt doesn't show which features are active. Use your own licence or a Hillstone evaluation for the features you need.
The images run only inside your CloudLabBox workspace; they aren’t available to download.
Questions about CloudEdge, vIPS and vADC
What are Hillstone CloudEdge, vIPS and vADC?
Hillstone Networks' virtual appliances: CloudEdge is the virtual firewall, running StoneOS; vIPS is the virtual intrusion prevention system and vADC the virtual application delivery controller.
What are the Hillstone interfaces called in EVE-NG?
Both Hillstone templates label four interfaces eth0/0 to eth0/3, and both open on a telnet console.
Which CloudEdge release should I start with?
Start with SG6000-CloudEdge-5.5R9P2-v6 on the SG6000 template: it's the CloudEdge image that reached its login prompt in testing. Later 5.5R10 and 5.5R11 releases are installed too, but haven't been checked.
Hillstone CloudEdge: which profile and console should I use?
SG6000-CloudEdge5.5R9P2 reached its serial login prompt with the SG6000 profile: 2 CPUs, 2 GB RAM and four network adapters. Use the telnet console, then configure management, interfaces and policy. Reaching the login prompt does not verify forwarding or feature activation.
Which CloudEdge, vIPS and vADC images are installed?
59 images (1 CloudEdge (SG6000 template), 30 CloudEdge, 8 vIPS, 20 vADC), all listed on this page exactly as Add Node shows them. The newest is SG6000-CloudEdge-5.5R9P2-v6.
How much CPU and RAM does a CloudEdge, vIPS and vADC node use?
When you add one, the SG6000 template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the hillstone template adds 1 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM. You can change both in Add Node, and your plan counts what each running node is set to.
