Accessing Cisco Modeling Labs (CML) for Free

great video for my preparation on CCNP Encore 350-401 exam, just passed my CCNA 200-301 on 12-06-23 with the Kevin's udemy CCNA 200-301 Master Class course.

this is a great tutorials and I'm very sure its going to help me a lot as an entry level network engineer. kevin thanks for this wonderful videos.

muchas gracias!

Thanks the video Kevin. Does CML support WLC 9800 and also both 9500 and 9300 Catalyst switches? My objective is to set up a lab environment to emulate what we want to potentially deploy on the floor. Thank you.

thanks great video

Kevin, Thanks a million. This will truly help with saving on the electricity bills.

Thank you soo much!!!

Wow... Thanks so much for this video. I been using packet tracer but it doesn't have all the commands. This is gonna help me so much. 😊

What's not to like Kevin. As usual a very informative video. Glad I subscribed. Thx and have a great weekend. :)

I was really excited when I saw that CML supported Nexus and ASRs ... then I saw that they're as limited as the bootleg VM I was running in my eve-ng lab. Useful for playing with, but not for modeling the scale of things that I need to stage configs.

Hello, is this service terminated? I receive "Service not available (due to connection error)" message

Any idea how I can resolve inserthostname_here> while accessing iosvls (switch)?

Hello,

May Ik how many times I can reserve CML in DevNet Sandbox? Or is it only a 1-time use? Thanks!

Hello, how to go back from the router config back to lab "consoles" without opening a new ssh session

Thanks kevin. What is included with paid version?? is it also on the cloud? what about qcow2 images of other vendors??

Hi Kevin,
I see this is an old video but hoping you may still reply. With the CML product I am not able to get the end points to work consistently with dhcp. Configuring the linux machines with static addressing is a disaster. None of the credentials provided by cisco or found online work. Just can't get to the su or sudo account. So configuring ip info isn't possible. I'm noticing no one has videos where they are using the provided end points. There's a question I promise. Do you know how to configure dhcp on the CML desktop clients or know the correct credentials to access super user account.
Thanks Kevin always a fan of your work.

Hi kevin Great & amazing demo of CML

I've been attempting to use the CML free option, but I'm having a lot of strange interface issues, like being unable to delete a lab, or seeing only 4 interfaces on a switch with the option to add more greyed out; logging into a console, then unable to get back into the console. Logging in using ID-cisco Pwd-cisco, but later the same device telling me authentication failed. My initial problem was seeing iOS loading errors, but found that if I allow one device at a time to start, I could get around that. So, I spend a big chunk of time just getting to a point where I can begin anything productive. I've spent months hoping to avoid the purchase of physical equipment, but it seems like that's the only sensible option.

With a purchased copy of CML, where can we download labs? It would be easier to download labs rather than creating them from scratch everytime. I cant find anywhere to download the labs.

Thanks 🙏

This looks absolutely brilliant, thank you for this! I anticipate using this for my CCNP Security wherever possible. Is there any limit on how many times I can reserve lab time? This almost seems like something meant only as a demo for the licensed version.

Thanks for the share! I love your videos!

Thanks Kevin one of your best videos yet, you just saved me quite a bit of money

is it possible to export the lab from the sandbox version?

Great help, thank you!

Hi, I want to say thank you very much for this video, because it was very helpful for me

tks a lot my bro > you still the best

Awesome video Kevin. I ran into an issue when trying to download Cisco AnyConnect for Linux. Cisco download website does not allow you to download the package for Ubuntu. I had to use a different alternative for using VPN.

I hope someday Cisco shall offer Labs like the ones from VMware, you can access them whenever you want, no reservation is required : )

Love it!!!

does the cml allow us to simulate 4G lte interfaces ?

it is no longer present on devnet...

CML licensing is frustrating me...

This is great..Thank you very much!

Hi Kevin, could you please tell approx. how much RAM and CPU would be required to run 20 CML-P nodes? I am asking with reference to IOSV and IOSVL-2 nodes on so in total 20 of them running simultaneously. It will help me in deciding the specs I need to look for when buying a Laptop. Thanks in advance!

Hi Sir Kevin.. can i save my topology on this Free CML? Or can I later work on my topology after the 4 hours session expired? Thanks.

Hello Kevin,
it looks really good and useful, thank you for this. Although it seems like you can't save your progress for the next reservation. Is there any way to export everything and just load up in the next session?

Kevin - really nice video not to mention immensely helpful. I was able to connect to the nodes with SolarPutty - per your demonstration - on the first attempt. I was hoping to use CML to practice WLC configuration for my impending CCNA exam - however I saw that the selection of devices is rather limited. I expected to see something like the device availability in Cisco PT. PT has the WLC but most features are disabled. Is the full complement of Cisco devices reserved for the Enterprise version of CML ?

Thanks Kevin.. there is something about your voice and how you thoroughly explain concepts that makes it easy for me to understand every material you present. Thank you very much.

Hello kevin,
Can I practice VDC on those virtual NXOS?

This is great. This seems to be much better than packet tracer. I may just pay the $199 for the year. Thanks Kevin.

Thank You Kevin Sir

Great, I'm so thankful that will help me a lot as I'm going for my CCNA 200-301 certification

hello Kevin, thanks to your videos, I decided long time ago to go after my CCNA certification, which I could accomplish after all the struggle and effort! It's awesome how you always improve the way you teach! big fan here, and thanks for that resource

I hope the next vids was how to set up and create a LAB on EVE-NG

This video was great!

Thanks very much. I did not lose 3 years you were my teacher.

Hello Kevin,
Love to watch your videos, can we create a Lab for CUCM adding some phones? That would be great!
Hope to see more videos of Collaboration technology.

Thank you so much Kevin!! it's pretty cool

Sir I have one question that I want internet connectivity in the sandbox the NAT 0(cloud) is there but I couldn't make internet connectivity will you please guide me?
