Support and News Forum

Hi,
In the EVE-NG website says that ACS version 5.8.1.4 is supported.
I made all the procedures to install it on a VMware (creating a machine, install from ISO and so on), I converted the vmdk to qcow2 format and imported it to EVE-NG VM.
It's normally boots and start correctly, but in the console, when I tried to ping, I got a 'Network is unreachable' error. I connected the ACS node to a cloud and after to a IOU switch, but no luck.
The main point is that no interface is showing in output from 'show ip route'. In VMware VM, it's show correctly the eth0 as destination.
Please, can someone from EVE's Team check it?

Hi

I did not see any ip configured on below interface, configure ACS IP address

GigabitEthernet 0

R!

If you played with ACS, you remember that after ACS's ISO installation, the setup needs the IP information for VM, like, IP, mask, Default Gateway, DNS and so on... This IP information is mandatory, you cannot skip this part.
The answer for you question is yes, I already configured an IP address, before made all of these tests.
And to be exactly, this ACS VM was working fine in VMware. In EVE-NG, the same VM was with that issues I already mentioned.

EVE-NG team, can someone check this? Or inform an specific trick that need to be set in?
Thanks in advance!

When you convert image, You may be in a situation of persistent Device ID/ Mac address.
So into the core os config files ( invisible for you ), the nic is not set because it appears as a new one for the system after conversion....
...
You need to clean your VM...

cd into directoty of your vm ( /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.1.4/
Delete all lines not commented
Vi commands are :
use arrow keys to choose a line
type twice on 'd' to delete current line

to save and exit: type: ":x!"

Thanks for you tip, but unfortunately the '70-persistent-net.rules' file was blank.

But I found the solution in an YouTube video! The trick is at video time 14:10

You need to remove and put again the 'ip default-gateway' command!!!
After this, the eth0 shows in 'show ip route'.

I found that you need to remove and replace the ip default-gateway command EVERY time the ACS image is booted.... would be nice if there was a permanent solution to this problem.

I can confirm that this is the persistent issue too.

Hi,

I got the interface to show an IP address but im getting the following errors when pinging to the gateway. It connected to a cloud connected to my network. i made sure it could connect by adding a 3725 router to the cloud and setting the ip of the 3725 to dhcp and it worked. Not sure what could be wrong. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!

After two years and almost half, I was able to identify and fix this issue!
I tested in the 5.8.0.32 version but I suppose that it will work in other versions!
It may work when running ACS in Virtual Box too!
The problem is caused by a Linux script in the OS, that made permanent the mac address of the ethernet interface when running the ACS setup.
When you follow the procedures below, you will be activating this script again when booting the ACS, it will fill the new mac address of the current eth0 interface.

Follow the procedures in the ssh shell of the EVE-NG:

cd /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/acs-5.8.0.32/
guestfish -a hda.qcow2
run
mount /dev/sda3 /
vi /startup-config-1570067776/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
delete the line that contains "HWADDR=" using the cursor and deleting the line with the command "dd" (type d two times)
save the file in vi using the commands: ":qw" and hit enter
umount /
exit

Start you ACS image and voilá!

I recommend to do this in the ACS base image!

Can someone from the EVE-NG admin team, put this information into the ACS how to? Thank you!
