Before posting something, READ the changelog, WATCH the videos, howto and provide following:
Your install is: Bare metal, ESXi, what CPU model, RAM, HD, what EVE version you have, output of the uname -a and any other info that might help us faster.

Hello,

I've a problem with my lab.

But first my hardware:

RAM: 128 GB 2666 MHZ RAM
HDD: Samsung EVO+ NVME
NIC: 1 * 1 GB NIC from Intel
Hypervisor: VMWare Workstation Pro 15.5.x
OS: XUbuntu Linux 20.04 LTS

This lab is part of the INE CCIE R+S Lab.
However, the basics don't work. I create on my routers subinterfaces and on the switch I create appropiate trunks. When I try to ping my routers which do belong in the same vlan...the ping will fail. When I create the lab with IOSvL3 images, everything works.

I searched google and some folks had the same issue in 2015, but they used virtualbox and not vmware. Some hints mentioned, the router should use the vmxnet interface...but eve-ng already does this. Only the switch uses th e1000 nic.
Other people who had a solution to this, mapped the nics from the router to the ESXI vSwitch....but I don't use ESXI nor is my router directly to my "normal" network connected...it's nestet virtualization...so I'm clueless.


I do not want to use the IOSvL3 images, because INE uses CSR1000v .... any suggestions here ???

First make sure if your CSRv1000 has set VMXNET3 NIC for CSRv1000 node
