HOWTO: Bootstrap EVE-NG Network Simulation in VLAN 50¶
Deploys an EVE-NG Community Edition VM in VLAN 50, the isolated simulation segment, so routing, firewall, and WAN experiments run without touching operational infrastructure. Covers Proxmox provisioning, static IP assignment in VLAN 50, firewall isolation confirmation from operational VLANs, and first topology bring-up in the EVE-NG UI. An optional section covers controlled VLAN trunk experiments.
What this covers:
- EVE-NG VM provisioning on Proxmox with VLAN 50 isolation as per ADR-0201
- Firewall rule verification confirming VLAN 50 cannot reach operational segments
- First EVE-NG topology creation with multi-vendor device images and basic routing validation
