Greetings,
Setting up a virtual EdgeConnect appliance (EC-V) in EVE-NG is similar to setting up one in ESXi and other hypervisors. I would recommend giving each EC-V at least six NICs. EVE-NG will reserve MAC addresses for each NIC, but you need configure which MAC address belongs to which interface on the EC-V. Here's how (two ways) -
(#1 Using the GUI)
After you add the EC-V node to your EVE-NG lab, connect ONLY e0 to a network/cloud that has DHCP enabled.
Power-on the EC-V and wait for it to start. Login to the console (admin/admin), and run the "show management" command to see the management IP that e0 grabbed via DHCP.
Open a browser and navigate to https://<management-IP>, login (admin/admin).
Click on the "configuration" menu, then click on "Interfaces".
Assign MAC addresses to mgmt0, mgmt1, lan0, wan0, etc. EVE-NG reserves MAC addresses for each node in numerical order, so I like to use even numbers for LAN, odd for WAN.
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00 = mgmt0
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:01 = mgmt1
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:02 = lan0
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:03 = wan0
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:04 = lan1
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:05 = wan1
Click Apply, then click "Save" at the top right of the page. After you click "Save", reboot the appliance. Do not reboot before clicking "Save"!
(#2 Using the CLI)
After you add the EC-V node to your EVE-NG lab, power-on the EC-V and wait for it to start. Login to the console (admin/admin).
Go into "enable" mode, then "config terminal".
Configure the MAC addresses for each interface with the following command (example for mgmt0): interface mgmt0 mac address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:00
Repeat the same command for the other interfaces (lan0, wan0, etc) and provide unique MAC for each.
Enter the "write memory" command to save the config, then "reboot" to reboot the appliance.
Hope this helps... happy labbing!

Dear Experts,
We have procured trial licenses and have cloud orchestrator. I am trying to build my lab inside EVE-NG. Is it possible? Currently i have 4 eth0 interfaces but no mgmt0 interface.
Can anyone provide any insight how to build lab inside eve ng?
