Cumulus VX interface limit?
Hi,
first, thank you for this great product eve-ng. And thank you for all the work you already invested into this. Great job!
I run some Cumulus VX instances, they work great, except that I can only boot up instances with maximum number of 28 Interfaces.
As soon as I change the number of interfaces to 29 or higher the cumulus VX instance will not boot anymore?
Do you by chance know if this is a limitation by cumulus or by eve-ng?
I tried already to look at the logs during bootup but I didn't found any helpful information.
Sorry if I'm wrong here with my question, just let me know if there is a better way, forum, board where I should go and ask.
Best regards,
Ulf

Hi Uldis,
thank you for your answer.
It looks like that I did something wrong, but I have no idea where to look a the moment?
Which version do you run? Cumulus VX version and EVE-NG Version? CE or PRO?
I'm running Cumulus Version 3.7.12 and EVE-NG CE Version 2.0.3-110 (QEMU version: 2.4.0), that's the OVA Image on VMware Workstation.
I took the ova Image booted it up with vmware workstation downloaded the cumulus VX image - moved it to the destination folder as it is described in the how-to (https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/docume ... umulus-vx/) and booted it up, and as soon as I change to more then 28 interfaces I can click start but it takes around 1 second and cumulus is off again?
I will try to reproduce it.
Best regards,
Ulf

Re: Cumulus VX interface limit?
Hi Uldis,
28 works fine, all higher than 28 stops working. It even didn't start anymore.
I debugged it and as far as I can say now as soon as I add a 29's interface to this call:
I get the following error:
and I can reproduce this also with linux (debian/ubuntu) if I add more then 28 Interfaces in the WebGUI the node didn't start.
As I already wrote I used the OVA installaton with VMware Workstation.

Ulf

Re: Cumulus VX interface limit?
Hi Uldis,
me too and it didn't work for me, That's why I ask for your versions what you use exactly to find out what's different.
I just did it, again. I downloaded the CE OVA from here (https://mega.nz/file/4pU2wIhQ#jmfEhGMNM ... m1uRxIjYEQ) the MEGA link on https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/download/ which shows Version 2.0.3-110.
I extracted the zipfile I downloaded.
I go to VMware Workstation 15.5.5 click on File -> Open import the extracted ova file.
Start the VM. Create a new lab. Upload the cumulus-linux-3.7.12-vx-amd64-qemu.qcow2 file into the new created dir /opt/unetlab/addons/qemu/cumulus-3.7.12 as virtioa.qcow2. /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions after upload.
On the WebUI I click + Add an Object - Node -> Search for Cumulus VX - change the Interfaces from 8 to 32 - Save.
Start and what happens is: I get a notification Banner where says "cumulus stated" the icon gets blue for about one second and turns back to grey and nothing happens, it's not starting.
If I change back the Interfaces to 28, Save, Start, it's starting fine and everything works.
Do you also used EVE-NG CE 2.0.3-110? Do you also use the OVA file? Do you also use VMware Workstation?
Best regards,
Ulf

Hello all,
Did you guys resolve the issue? I'm having the same issue tried on arista veos and mikrotik... the node will start only if u have less than 29 interfaces..
I got eve-ng 2.0.3-112 on vmware 15
Kind regards
