  • Build using common platforms like IOSv, IOSv Layer-2, IOS-XRv, NX-OSv, CSR1000v and ASAv. All Included
  • Integrate 3rd-party virtual machines, appliances, VNFs, and servers.
  • Connect real and virtual networks to form high-fidelity development and test environments.
  • Design and test anywhere - Cisco VIRL is portable!

Cisco VIRL PE 1.6.x (latest)


Whats New in Cisco VIRL PE
faster better easier
  • Easier to deploy and configure
  • Guided set-up on first launch -- no more guessing
  • Modify your Cisco VIRL PE server's configuration like a pro
  • Faster system parameter changes -- system changes at a fraction of the time from previous release
  • ...and much more!
Flexibility
easier network setup
Connect simulations to a physical network? Easy!
  1. Create the virtual networks (vmnets) or (port-groups)
  2. Set the simulation topology to use shared flat network
Don't need simulations connected? No problem!
  1. Skip Step 1 during deployment
  2. Create the simulation, launch, done!
