EVE-NG network interfaces explained
The network infrastructure that EVE-NG uses to interconnect lab nodes is somewhat obscure. Let’s explore how to identify the Linux interfaces of each virtualized node for debugging or simple analysis.
Let’s take the following lab as an example:
Required Information
Before we begin, we need the following data:
- User identifier (POD)
- Lab identifier
- Node identifiers to analyze
- Interface identifiers to analyze
- Network identifiers to analyze
- Execution space identifier
User Identifier (POD)
The user identifier is visible to an administrator under Management -> User Management.
In this example, the POD assigned to my user is 5.
Lab Identifier
The lab identifier can be found by opening the lab and navigating to Lab Details.
For instance, my lab identifier is 3b327c21-1585-499d-9a0d-4281e05f4532.
