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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AR1000V router | huaweiar1k | 1 | 2048 MB | 6 interfaces: G0/0/0 to G0/0/5 | VNC |

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 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 AR1000V routers behind a CE6800 switch
Connect two AR1000V routers through a CloudEngine CE6800, run OSPF between them across a VLAN, and get used to VRP's system-view and display commands.
The AR1000V and USG6000V open with VNC consoles; the CloudEngine and NetEngine images use telnet.
- 1×CloudEngine CE6800
huaweice68002 vCPU, 2048 MB - 2×AR1000V router
huaweiar1k1 vCPU, 2048 MB each
Added with these defaults, the lab uses 4 vCPU and 6 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
Huawei licenses some VRP features and USG6000V security services, and CloudLabBox doesn't provide Huawei licences. Bring your own where your exercise needs one.
The images run only inside your CloudLabBox workspace; they aren’t available to download.
Guided labs that use Routers, switches and USG firewall
Ready-made labs in the Shared folder of every lab workspace, each with a scenario, tasks, checks and the full solution. Here are 8 of the 36 that use it, from 2 courses, counted on 2 November 2026.
Questions about Routers, switches and USG firewall
What are Huawei's virtual routers, switches and firewall?
Huawei's virtual network devices run its VRP operating system: the AR1000V enterprise router, CloudEngine CE6800 and CE12800 switches, NetEngine NE40E, NE5000E and NE9000 routers, the USG6000V firewall and a CX image.
How do I save a Huawei node's configuration?
Run save in the device before you stop the node. EVE-NG keeps your topology, but the configuration lives inside each device.
Which interface names do the CloudEngine images use?
The CE6800 template labels its first interface MEth0/0/0 for management, and the tested image reported GE1/0/0 to GE1/0/19 up. Other appliances differ, so run display interface brief before you wire a topology.
Huawei: which profile should I use for the bundled CloudEngine and NE images?
Match the profile to the exact appliance: CE12800, CE6800, CX, NE40E, NE5000E or NE9000. These bundled profiles use 2 vCPUs, 2 GB RAM and a text console. huaweice6800-bundled reached its CLI, reporting VRP 8.180, CE6800 V200R005C10SPC607B607, with GE1/0/0 through GE1/0/19 up/up. Adapter counts and guest port names differ between appliances, so check the interface listing before wiring your topology.
Which Routers, switches and USG firewall images are installed?
15 images (5 AR1000V router, 1 CloudEngine CE6800, 1 CloudEngine CE12800, 1 CX, 1 NetEngine NE40E, 1 NetEngine NE40, 1 NetEngine NE5000E, 1 NetEngine NE9000, 3 USG6000V firewall), all listed on this page exactly as Add Node shows them. The newest is huaweiar1k-5.170-V300R022C00SPC100-Auto-update-esn(1).
How much CPU and RAM does a Routers, switches and USG firewall node use?
When you add one, the huaweiar1k template adds 1 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweice6800 template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweice12800 template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweicx template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweine40e template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweine40 template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweine5ke template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweine9k template adds 2 vCPU and 2048 MB of RAM; the huaweiusg6kv template adds 2 vCPU and 4096 MB of RAM. You can change both in Add Node, and your plan counts what each running node is set to.
