Cannot start Cisco IOL routers and switches

Post by tbjx2000 » Mon May 14, 2018 1:23 pm

Hi there,

I am running on 2.0.3-86 which is the newest version. Everything looks good but when I tried to enable all routers or switches (Cisco IOL L2 and L3), all instances would try to start but automatically shutdown after a few seconds. Would anyone give some comment on this ?

Best Regards,
Chen

Thanks for the reply. I know how to add the images and we do have a license file for IOL.
The current issue is that, once trying to start all nodes, all of them will be shutting down automatically after a few seconds.
Not sure if this is an issue or bug and wonder how to solve it. Thanks.

That sounds like a license issue, I experienced the exact same issue at first. Double check the syntax of the license, it needs to be entered precisely and as described in the documentation.

I appreciate for the comments and now the issue has been solved. It was license issue indeed as I guess the evironment was changed from a workstation to ESXi. After re-generating the license, it was working !! Thanks again ! :D
