Can You Lab Cisco DNA Center on Proxmox?
This video goes over the nuances of installing Cisco's DNA Center on Proxmox for lab purposes. Do not do this in production.
BTW - The error message did clear after it was fully booted longer :)

Interested in incorporating DNA Center and ISE into your CCIE Lab? This video in my CCIE Lab series goes through installing DNA Center and ISE from scratch, bringing them into CML, and interacting with them via the CCIE Host VM (the VM you use in the actual lab exam). 00:00:00 - Planning and Lab Architecture 00:10:00 - Building and Attaching SD-WAN Templates 00:42:00 - SD-WAN TLOC Extension 01:...

Useful video. Do you need a license to deploy DNAC on ProxMox or VMware for testing purposes.
I encountered an issue while installing DNAC-SW-2.3.5.6.iso on ProxMox using UEFI instead of the default SeaBIOS. The boot menu differs, showing only "Maglev installer" rather than "Cisco DNA Center Installer". Although the installer presents the same configuration options (enterprise network, intra-cluster link, NTP IPv4 addresses), it fails to work properly. I tried various solutions including switching network interfaces to VMXnet3, but the real issue was deviating from the standard installation process shown in your tutorial. Great walkthrough, by the way! One question remains - would a bare metal UEFI installation of DNAC present similar behavior? That could be tricky to troubleshoot. 🤔
I saw this video quite a few months ago and just now got into my sda studies (i even used your poc to install dnac on proxmox). As my system is getting quite loadedd with ise,dnac,windows server and eve-ng i was looking for a more lightweight way to study the 802.1x part of sda and then remembered i saw a video about the subject once. Took me quite a while to find the video again, but i'm happy i did. Thanks Mason!
Hey mason. What cat9kv did you use for this? i‘m desperatedly searching for the image
Hi thank you for the video it's so helpful but can you send me the URL to download CML OVA I can't find it in cisco
Excellent video! Good luck with your CCIE journey and retake! Im rooting for ya!
Thank you!!
Great video man!
my server is HP Proliant G9, 768GB RAM, 2 x 24Core Intel Xeon E5-2690v3 CPUs, 20TB storage. Would it be advisable to run these labs on EVE-NG Community version 6.x? I want to avoid buying CML.
i learned a lot thank you so much
Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video. I have 2.3.7.5-VA installed in Esxi.... Do you recommend ISO instead of VA ?? I will try with Proxmox in a couple of months. Regards.
Hi @masonreimet, Can you share the versions of the catalyst 3850 that you use and the licensing ? Thanks.
Great Video, great content. If someone complete these 2 Labs in his home lab, he has no reason not to seat for the Lab Exam. When can we expect the next video? Any on Layer 2: switching/ STP-MSTP/ port channeling, MTU/ etc?
Hey, is it possible to point me to guide for adding SDWAN images in CML 2.7? Thanks.
@@iphelper1574 if you are running 2.7 they come included, they are newer than what's in the CCIE Lab though.
@@masonreimert I'm running Version: 2.7.0+build.4 unfortunately they don't since devs don't want to increase the size of ISO file.
@@iphelper1574 you can just download the new ref plat ISO for the new version and mount it to your existing install and import jt
Those spec requirements are insane. Nothing should require that.

Great video! If your lab changes, you can always update the interfaces later with "sudo maglev-config update" from the Maglev CLI if necessary.
Proxmox is amazing, but it does take some getting used to. By the way, thank you for taking the time to show us how to install on it . Very informative great work!
Killer
nice lab config transaction and commit is killer
Great video Mason. I built the full topology. My only 2 issues were my 8000V code was not compatible with my SDWAN version so i had to use the compatibility matrix to get the proper versions and load them into CML. The 2nd minor issue I had to upgrade my CML license to Personal plus...because of the 20+ nodes. Cisco does not allow you to upgrade so you need to buy a new license. After running SDWAN in CML I find it is much more stable than EVE-Pro. I was plagued with stability issues with SD WAN in EVE. On to video 2.
This is so helpful for CCIE EI lab. Thank you !
Amazing video, thanks, the prices have finally come down on the used market so I was able to pick up 4x 3850s with POE, 2x Dell R730 servers with 12c/24t 256GB RAM and 3x 1832i APs for around $750 which should be more than enough to handle everything. Looking forward to getting the SDA lab built up.
nice, keep up the good work
I just got an r640 2x8160 Platinum 48 (96) cores - 1 TB RAM - 4TB NVME hopefully I can run 99% of the IE Lab fully :).... Now either EVE-NG Baremetal or VMWARE ESXi
You will need to install VMware ESXi as DNA Center (DNAC) now Catalyst Center can only be installed there or AWS Cloud. Your specifications are okay, as DNAC requires 256GB of reserved RAM, 3TB of SSD storage, and 32 vCPUs. For EVE-NG, you can use the same resources allocated by @Mason.Also min cpu spec is 2.1GHz
@@leosimairi9195 Thanks ...I might just get another 4TB drive... I will try to run SDWAN, ISE, and DNAC with Edge/Border nodes plus others :/
Do you have the steps for creating the randomized cat9000? I think I have Terry Vinson's image but does not seem to be working.
shoot me an email with what you're trying mreimert@mertandhouse.com
When is part 3 dropping? Lol
My CML died(filled up the disk and then in trying to expand the disk I messed up libvert). I recreated the Lab last week, and got the v6 stuff working. Haven't had time to actually redo the tasks while recording yet. Doing a ton of CCIE training right now because i'm hoping to clear that exam in the coming months.
awesome
Mr. Sir, one question: Cisco UCS C240-M5 24SFF 2x Gold 6152 2.1GHz =44 Cores, 384GB Ram, 1TB ssd x2 Raid 1 <--- bout to pull the trigger on this, I'm a little concerned about the core count though, 40 cores for DNA plus 4 for ISE now it's maxed out. The next tier up is 56 cores and a whopping 2K extra added on essentially doubling the price. Do you think a Dell Poweredge may be better suited for this or is there some advantage to sticking with UCS ???
No advantage to UCS, I say get whatever you can get the most cores per dollar with. I run DNAC and ISE together on 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4114 CPU @ 2.20GHz
This is amazing !
This is brilliant, I've got a Dell R810 bare metal Eve-NG server for my IE studies and it's great, but lately I've been thinking about getting a UCS just for the SD-Access/Automation portion. I just dread fighting with the damn thing, all the nuances ya know, the server/images/licensing and I'm sure there's more. Its not so much the money it's more the headache of it all. I'm thinking about it now, you've planted the seed that'll keep nagging at me....thanks brah!!!!!! :) :)
@masonreimert - Thanks for sharing this video .... I`m a new user in esxi and it has been a nightmare for me trying to connect every VM and CML and eve-ng. Now I have some tips about, how it has to be done. I hope to see the next video soon. Good job. Regards.
Amazing vid
Can i build this lab on ucs m3 c220 128 gb ram, 2x xenon e5-2630 hex core
You could run the CML part on that, if you don't use SDA. If you need SDA you'll need to add some ram to that for edge nodes + add another server for DNAC. Watch the next part for more info. DNAC will not run without at least 40 cores.
Thanks for your quick response 😀
are you a network engineer or you do teach networking ?
just an engineer
@@masonreimert do you believe you can become one just by studying and labbing ? i'm talking from the perspective of someone who has no it experience or degree etc i mean can you start working in networking directly ? or the helpdesk route is mandatory ?
@@HiPh0Plover1you might want to get basic IT knowledge before trying to get into networking but you can always try applying
Much easier for those that want this lab is to export yaml file fo people can import it.....yes I see you on reddit and nice lab
Hi Mason. Great work thanks. Following your video got almost all except mpls cedge can’t talk to inet cedge. I think im missing the connection between mpls and inet transport redistribution. Help please
do you mean there's no BFD session? There won't be because they have the same site-id. Global rule for Cisco SD-WAN is do not form tunnels or BFD sessions with TLOCS at the same site ID.
Great video man really appreciate it!
Great Video! Thanks!!!
Hey, loved the video. I was wondering if you had discord. Just was wondering we could chat more about adding vdnac and ise in vmware. Also connecting them in esxi...
I have discord but I am not very active I think my username is masonreimert, I'm on LinkedIn as Mason Reimert and on reddit as mreimert. Feel free to reach out!
Where do you get the SDN controller images?
right now you have to search around for them on the internet. but, in the next CML version coming out soon I am being told they are going to be included.
@@masonreimert thanks! Is this true for DNAC aka catalyst center now as well? I heard it takes like 60 vCPUs
@@GriffinFTW DNA and ISE are not included with CML. ISE can be downloaded as an evaluation from Cisco and ran on VMWare, DNA needs to be ran on VMWare with at least 40 CPUs and 150gb ram. my next video tomorrow will go over all of this.
Love this, this is awesome! Thank you so much!!! Cant wait for the next!
New subscriber here followed from your LinkedIN post. Currently doing CCNP DC but hoping to circle back around to CCIE ENT in the future to give it another shot and this will really come in handy.
waiting for part 2
Also, I did make a verbal error in the MPLS section. I state that PHP happening too soon will expose the IP header. This was incorrect because we are using VPN v4, this will actually expose the iBGP VPN label to a non PE router. The outcome will be as described, but the cause is not what I originally stated.
Nice video, looking forward to the next parts
