This is great news ! Thank you, David for all you are doing , cause it really change lives. Mine is already changed totally, after getting cisco certified , thanks for all your free videos here on youtube + your course on udemy !
Perfect timing, I'm coming to the end of my ccna studies and have actually been messing around with the devnet version of cml to try things out but this will be far more convenient
Good timing for me. I just bought the CCNA 200-301 Official Cert Guide Library Second Edition which I think comes with access to Network Simulator Lite. Cisco CML sounds like a good more advanced learning tool.
CML is the best option if you want to work on a lab with devices you will encounter in the CCNA exam; and you want to work on virtualized real devices.
Here is what they say "It's the perfect tool for network engineers, architects, and students to gain real-world, hands-on practice as they learn-and prep for certification exams without any initial cost." I didn't know all students had a company, i learned something today.
Yesterday I discovered what CML is, found out it's paid, then this drops lol. I'm so lucky Edit: my use for CML free would be testing commands that don't exist on PT. this is great timing!
I'm studying for the CCNA right now using your course; is there any chance you will be making some more CCNA videos using CML? Thanks for all the hard work you've put into your course, I genuinely believe I wouldn't have been able to learn half of this without your videos.
Thank you so much for wonderful announcement...You are the person motivate to learn when i am down.... Great...Keep support us!!! May i know when will come to know Giveaway announcement?
Are they removing Packet Tracer? Was it a bit limited, but allowed you to make networks as big as you want and also didn’t consume too much computer resources
No. CML has existed for a long time. The great news is that we now have a free tier. Packet Tracer and CML both have advantages and disadvantages. Use both and see which you find most useful.
This is awesome, props to Cisco and David Bombal!!! I want to do CCNP with security as the specialty. Would the Personal be enough for those studies? Thanks again!
Hi David, great Video and thanks for making this more available for us... do you know if there is an option for people using ARM (Macbook M1) ? please advise.
Maybe try signing up with a personal account and put in whatever address you want for the company address. I didn't have to put in anything other company information, and I was able to download.
Thank You for this Wonderful News. I have registered from your link in the Description. Please Provide some Overview Videos on CML. It's kinda New for Me, used Packet Tracer before. YOUR VIDEO IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND. ❤ from India.
Hi Dave, Just to confirm - are they using the CML CLI /interface in the CCNA exam? Or will it be similar to the Packet Tracer CLI? Ngl , don’t think i like CML.
Looks like even the PCs are counted in the limit of 5. You could replace the PCs with a single Ostinato for CML node with multiple ports and emulate multiple hosts or subnets. If you would like to see a how-to blog post or video, reply and let me know!
They will ask you to create account first. Then update your profile. Put address there. Then your ccid. I have updated everything.but when i click for downloading the cml software for VMware, a pop ups keeps coming, ' u need to provide full address fow downloading cisco services and software '. I wasted 1 hr and then quit bcoz it was getting late.... I will try today again.
I still find it weird that kids today call it packet capture while us that are old school call it a packet trace. I do realize the former is likely more accurate, though
Yo David, given all the concerns about the Internet decaying and the Internet archive getting attacked, I was wondering. I remember hearing of a successor to the Internet but I never heard much else besides that, would you mind doing a video about this?
I think a lot of people including me will be creating labs to use with CML. This is huge news as I haven't published labs for CML because until now it was a paid product.
Hello, I'm facing the below error code, could you please help me out even though I did enable the Virtualization on my Physical Machine and VMWare Workstation " CML-controller has virtualization disabled". Thanks
Hi, after watching this interview I tried download but it is asking for a contract, or something like that. I have signed up already, got my address details and everything filled but still not able to download
Hi, David is getting an error on Mac notebook m1. " This virtual machine cannot be powered on because it requires the X86 machine architecture, which is incompatible with this Arm machine architecture host"
Hi there! We're so sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing CML Free. Luckily, we're here to help with an easy fix you can do instantly. All you need to do is clear your browser cache and repeat the same steps for your address change to be applied. When you have a moment, please give this a try and let us know how you make out!
@@CiscoUtube We appreciate the response! In my case, while trying to type an address, the UI showcasing the selection of available addresses was not immediately shown and I thus assumed I had to manually type one in the equivalent input section. After I realized there is a selection I can choose from and picked one I was successfully able to proceed with the downloads. I'd advise the team to look into making it more clear for users that there is a selection view that pops up while writing in an address to avoid confusion.
Didn't happen to me when I registered with my account (but I had a CCO account already). Let me know in the comments if you cannot register in a bit and I can check with the CML team.
I have the same problem, keeps asking me to input full address though I already have. Keeps popping up a prompt to fill in full address though I already have.

Sadly, i cant use it as i am running Mac m3 which runs on arm64 architecture, and CML is not out for Arm 😢
Sir , I m fresher ,I going do a CNNA and CNNP both is good to go as fresher. Tell me sir
Yooooo this could not have come at a better timing too!! Thanks Cisco and David Bombal 🎉
It's great news! Will help so many people around the world! 😀
David bombal your channel is best IT channel Thanks so much
Thank you!
FACTS. 😃👍
@davidbombal Please can you tell us what is a default enable password for ASAv in free CML?
1000% agreed
LOVE that this is coming! We can finally get more people into one of the more expensive learning environments!

@@davidbombal i tried to use Eve-ng unfortunately it need high requirements like CPU, RAM, STORAGE how about this CML ??
@@welle-x6m it would be probably same requirement. but for CCNA level work you should not be needing too much on Eve-ng either.
David you are top tech content creator. your questions are on point and no delays clear all doubt

Awesome timing, i am doing CCNA exam in one and half week :)
Really need that license. Fingers crossed - thanks David :)
Thank you David you're great. I tried on my laptop with Linux PopOS and VMware workstation and works great
REaly it's one of the best new ever in this year thx cisco and thx David for this annoucment , you've done so much for all people like me
Thank you I been looking for something like this ❤I’m studying tonight
This is a very good development. I wish I could win one of those free licenses. Thank You David
Thank you so much for wonderful announcement.
Well i was on refreshing my stuff on packet tracer but gonna now use this Thank U and the TH-cam for showing this in my feed :D
Cool Cisco will come back
Thank you so much for wonderful announcement...You are the person motivate to learn when i am down.... Great...Keep support us!!! May i know when will come to know Giveaway announcement?
New to the site, much appreciated. Would very much enjoy one of the 10 licenses. Just starting my Cisco coursework.
That's great! Thanks David

The personal version supports up to 20 devices 😀 Check the devices you get to make sure all the devices you want to study are in CML.
Thanks for the update David. Curious to know if the image files are stored locally.
Justin you Dog! Hell ya brother, dang nice. Very useful my friend, give Cisco a big hug from me okay.
bravo!!! This is great news! 😎👏
Agreed 😀
Hi David, great Video and thanks for making this more available for us... do you know if there is an option for people using ARM (Macbook M1) ? please advise.
Why is it so damn hard to create an account to get the “Free” CML. I don’t have a company nor do I have a company email so I get no access?!?
Maybe try signing up with a personal account and put in whatever address you want for the company address. I didn't have to put in anything other company information, and I was able to download.
Just create a fake company, like I did
I am having the same problem, no company required as others write above, but it just doesn't work.
@makkamao It didn't require a company for me, but it did require an address in the company field.
Great, thank you for sharing.
Excellent news. Requirements to deploy on ESXi server is 7.0 o later and I am using 6.5 in my home lab. 😒
Packet tracer goes brrrrr
Packet Tracer and CML both have advantages and disadvantages. Great that we now have both options for free 😀
@@davidbombal 💯
Qué bueno David, capo!!
yes have come back to talk and get into a telecom call center set up with in CML
David - I agree that this is huge!!!! Thanks, David for always providing this information to the community!!

Thanks David.
You're welcome!
I still find it weird that kids today call it packet capture while us that are old school call it a packet trace. I do realize the former is likely more accurate, though
free stuff is always welcome ❤
huge step by cisco.. but 2024 human still pay for learning.. type 0 to type 1 civilization still in the long run..
Thank you sir.
It seems my GNS3 setup will have to wait.
Fantastic news and Cisco have nailed it with this version.
That's fantastic news
Agreed. Will change a lot of people's lives with a free way to lab!
Yo David, given all the concerns about the Internet decaying and the Internet archive getting attacked, I was wondering. I remember hearing of a successor to the Internet but I never heard much else besides that, would you mind doing a video about this?
We need labs, not a 5-node locked emulator
I think a lot of people including me will be creating labs to use with CML. This is huge news as I haven't published labs for CML because until now it was a paid product.
PNET Labs is the way to go, my friend.
What's a PNET?
@davidbombal thanks David ....🙏🙏
5 allows you to make a core ISP level router, 2 "client" routers, and ent user computers.
Thank you sar
You're welcome!
Sweet! Thank you for the information, David!
Finally I can hope for something better than packet trace
But will it be the something near to gns
I just downloaded the free tier iso, enjoy guys
thanks david
how to download plz guide me
Great news from Cisco, thanks David for sharing
You're welcome! Fantastic to see Cisco making a free tier 😀
Is it good for CCNA too or more suite to CCNP studies?
What?! This is fantastic. I always wanted Cisco CML. Thank you so much for the heads up!
You're welcome! I hope this helps you 😀
So does CML have more range inside the devices in comparison to packet tracer?
As I was getting to study networking
Hello,
I'm facing the below error code, could you please help me out even though I did enable the Virtualization on my Physical Machine and VMWare Workstation " CML-controller has virtualization disabled".
Thanks
Thank you, but please make sure our assets is locked from the infections…
Hi sir i have query currently i m fresher , i going do ccna and cnnp training course is good to go for both or only cnna
Got to love it, all the companies flood the zone at once.
Hmmm… can we chain multiple CMLs together?
Asome, thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.
Hi, after watching this interview I tried download but it is asking for a contract, or something like that. I have signed up already, got my address details and everything filled but still not able to download
Would something like MPLS be possible?
Hi, David is getting an error on Mac notebook m1. " This virtual machine cannot be powered on because it requires the X86 machine architecture, which is incompatible with this Arm machine architecture host"
please help
Thanks for the update@david &@ Ralph
for everyone? apparently not for me...one needs to have an account bind to some company to be able to download anything from Cisco...
Unfortunately you can't download because it keeps asking for full company address though all addresses have been filed
Same problem here.

Isn't 5 device too limiting? At this point wouldn't Packet Tracer be better instead?

Cisco provides a free version of CML and next month a book on CCNP Service Provider will be published. It is too good to be true 😀
Is it just me, or the free download doesn't work yet?
Please, I got a problem . They are asking me to update information about my company while I don't have any , for me to downloads
Does free software picks your telemetry for AI training data?
This doesn't 😀 It's a free tier, but limited to 5 concurrent devices. You need to pay for 20 or more devices (buy a license).
Why would I want to use this instead of Packet Tracer? (For learning specifically)
Cisco CML is free ??
Huge
Are layer 3 switches available in the free tier?
For basic use is worth moving from packet tracer?
for learning purpose packet tracer is still good for beginners because it has simulations and slows down steps for udnerstanding and also has easy interface for learning packet behavior at diff layers.
but yes you should get familiar with CML and plan to move on later.
While downloading it is giving a notification Service Contract Required, I am confused
Only 5-devices!!! ( a minimum decent lab can't be created with this) with a valid registration not good, 13-15 devices would be OK Thanks anyway!
Awesome
Agreed! Great news!
Wow! it is a great news and blessing. Thanks thanks a lot.
You're welcome! Great news for all of us I think 😀
nice
Perhaps a dumb question, but what's the difference between the Cisco CML and packet tracer?
Packet tracer is completely free but doesn't support some advanced features. This is perfect for CCNA. But if you are studying for CCNP, you need more than that.
Hello! Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll still need the "refplat ISO", right? and to download it I have to pay. Or am I wrong? I am new to CLM.
You need the reference platform, yes. It's free like the CLM ova, so you can download both for free.
