bump.

May someone please answer this above question?

My enterprise has many already downloaded production router OSs. Can i use these for EVENG, or must i only use VIRL images?

Thank you!

Answer is NO, you can not use IOS HW deedicated images.
Last IOS dedicated for HW which was supported on virtual platforms is:
cisco 1700
cisco 3725
cisco 7206

Thats it.
All new IOS for HW can not be run on any of virtual platforms.

Instead better image will be CSR1000v it is virtual router which mostly supports all high end router XE IOS features

OK, so where does everyone attain their Cisco virtual images to be used on EVENG?

It's important to use the appropriate software and images that are specifically designed for the Haunt The House virtualized environment you are working with.
