    It’s incredible how just last night, I was watching your video from two years ago and wishing you had a more recent video on CML. and voila! I wake up to this. You're the best, David. I got into IT, landed a help desk position, got my ccna and now working towards the ccnp, and it's truly because of you! Thank you for all you do for this community!

      David, is this software the same with Packet Tracer but just updated software?

    • @DavidBombalTech
      @DavidBombalTech  2 роки тому +5

      No, CML is much more powerful than Packet Tracer. This is actual Cisco images instead of just being a simulator like Packet Tracer. If you are studying for CCNA, Packet Tracer is fine, but is too limited for CCNP or CCIE type studies (or real world scenarios).

    • @dejan.petrovski
      @dejan.petrovski 2 роки тому

      Yes, I am learning for CCNA from your training on Udemy and I am very satisfied. I have sometime questions when I making configures according yours videos. Where I can ask answers for my dilemmas? Yours explanations is very good and in details, but I am just a student and I am not comming from IT department, that is why I have ambiguities.

  • @popquizzz

    Hey David, as an old VIRL user I was very pleased to run across this video on your page. The video was spot on, except where I got some errors when trying to start my VM instance which was due to a couple of configuration settings in Windows Features (now very hidden in Win 11) but the community had a recent post on the issue with those instructions and then reloading a clean install of VMware Workstation Pro 16.2.4 and it worked like a charm. This is such a night and day experience difference compared to the old VIRL install and use. In fact I was just debating if I had to go with VIRL again, I would probably just plow my way through GNS3 or breack my old rack out of storage and set up my old physical server rack lab. I'm never going back.

    Once again, David Bombal has struck gold with another great informational video. In my personal opinion, his videos are getting better and better as they progress. I always look forward to the new information he provides. Yes, I agree with Stefanos on the price point Cisco has placed for a single user and feel Cisco can afford to do better. It would be a better tradeoff for CISCO to open doors to new students to lower the price. Do not let CISCO fool you they can afford to make the change.
    However, I feel it is always a good thing to invest in yourself and professional development. There is a return on investment in paying the fee on something that can teach you network typologies etc.

    Great video, David. I ended up purchasing CML as a result. I have used packet tracer so far. Would you consider putting a video together on how to configure CML desktops and internet access using CML? I think many would find that really handy in using the CML product. I am not finding a lot on the use, configuration and, in the case of desktops, retention of values between lab reboots. Thanks so much for all you do!

    I love your networking videos as always David. Have you considered making a video detailing the pros/cons of CML/GNS3/EVE-NG? I'd love to have a detailed comparison on the strengths and weaknesses of each. What unique features does each contain or lack? Other than the Node limit, are there other reasons one might choose something like EVE-NG over CML when getting further into their certification studies?

    • @DavidBombalTech
      @DavidBombalTech  2 роки тому +1

      Some people prefer EVE-NG, others prefer GNS3, and others CML. I think if you are studying Cisco related stuff, CML is going to be the easiest and there are no grey areas as it is an official Cisco product. The biggest issue with CML is the cost, but you do get the Cisco images. For EVE-NG and GNS3, you can easily get images of other vendors and run them in those products, but there are issues with Cisco images.

    Thanks for sharing David. I just purchased the CML 2.5. Looks like its on sale now for $169 because of Cisco live I think. Wish they would do a sale on the CCNP Enco exam. Anyway I was wondering if there are any instructions for Mac computers for this. I have 6 core intel i7 with 16 gigs of ram. Wondering if that would be good enough to run it. Thanks so much for another great video.

  • @x3roxide
    @x3roxide Рік тому +1

    regarding the network troubleshooting - I had the exact same issue.
    Run virtual network editor (part of vmware) and then click change settings (requires admin).
    and set the bridge mode (VMNet0) from automatic to the actual network interface you would like to use - in my case, the interface which is connected to the DHCP server. For some reason, automatic mode was selecting another interface resulting in a loopback IP. Forcing it to use the actual interface made it work as intended.

    I would like to see more info on processor set up in VMWare. I have a 13th gen i7, 14 core (6 performance cores 8 efficiency cores, 20 threads) in a Razer laptop, should I select 1 processor with 8 cores? Maybe 3 processors with 4 cores totaling 12? 4 processors with 4 cores using all 16? Thoughts? Will the performance cores be selected first and used? With 1 processor and 8 cores selected it boots up 5 CSR1000v routers pretty quick but it is only using 30-40% CPU as shown in task manager.

    @DavidBombalTech I couldn't get networking to work using your instructions, but eventually found a user with similar issues in the forums. His solution, which worked for me was to start over again, but choose NAT instead of bridged initially and only after that did I boot up and start the install process. Changing to NAT after the fact did not work for some reason.

    Please answer my question:
    I was trying to download CML software from their website but it showed an error saying that I need to have a service contract associated to my cisco account to download those softwares. So, I think even if I buy Personal or Personal Plus I cannot use it because they do not allow me to download CML softwares. is this correct? if yes, do I need to buy a service contract from Cisco to use CML?

  • @gioharmonwelvidal

    Hello Sir David, is the CML the best for CCNA labs just only for cisco labs than EVE-NG?
    because i want to setup a lab that only pure cisco for my ccna lab practices for my exam.
    and is EVE-NG is the best for the multiple vendor like Mikrotik with Cisco Switch or Arista, Juniper or HP or any vendor not only single vendor in multiple wan environment?

    Hello David, thank you for the video. Does CML limit to Cisco devices? I think this is a big advantage for GNS3/EVE-NG that you can import devices from other vendors - Aruba, Mikrotik, etc... And, it does not seem that CML is resource intensive - I had tested GNS3, and it requires a lot. Correct me if I am wrong.

  • @thoughtfully
    @thoughtfully Рік тому

    Hi David, I have a lot of cisco lab manuals. My biggest problems with other platforms is that the images that can be used are not the same as those used in the lab manuals. This means that in order to do a lab, I have to do a lot of tranlating of interfaces and that just makes the learning process really murky for me. I just want to be able to use the same lab image that is used in the book, so I can follow along easily and find my errors without this added layer of difficulty that using differnt images introduces. When you say, "CML supports an HTML5 web client and contains all the Cisco IOS images." should I take that to mean that I will, without any additional cost or licenscing requirements, be able to model for any platform I want? Like if my lab requires 2 Catalyst 2960s and 2 two 1941s will that be possible?
