Hi all,

is there a possibility to add a snapshot functionality into EVE-NG?

What do I mean by snapshot functionality?
Let me explain it based on an example.

When I start a new lab, I add my switches / routers to the main page and start them. Doing some basic configuration like host name, ip address and so on. Before I do any further configuration, I wish to take a snapshot of the preconfigured lab. When I have any mistake in my changed configuration, I can always go back to my snapshot taken previously.

Like VMware does it in VMware Player.

Thanks for the consideration about the feature request.

Keep up the good work.

cheers for the reply

much appreciated.

Easier to do not snapshot but export configs making them as start-up. You call always start your labs from saved point.

I understand UD, this was just an example for a feature request.

Thanks for coming back to me on this topic

Hi Uldis, just to let you know. When I export the configuration, clone the lab and then "mark the configuration as start-up config", the console to all the switches freezes after about 3-5 minutes. I then need to reload all the switches.

The workaround is following:
1. reboot switches while config is marked as start-up
2. connect via console to the switches
3. run the command copy running starup config
4. switch off the export configs marked as start-up
5. switches working fine

Is this a bug Uldis?

such operations with configs must be done before you start lab.
I mean set boot from exported you must do only when your lab is stopped !!
