It assumes vmnet2 is the first available virtual network in the Fusion. Here is an example of the code that you can copy and paste to the Mac console. A workaround is to create the virtual networks through command line. If you are running the non-Pro version of VMware Fusion, it does not come with a GUI to create virtual networks. In summary, here are the virtual networks we have created in Fusion Pro: Next, we’ll follow the same procedure and create three more virtual networks. See below is the final state of “vmnet2” creation. Once you see “vmnet2” has been created on the left, enter “172.16.1.0” in “Subnet IP:” field.Ĭlick “Apply”, and uncheck “Provide address on this network via DHCP” and click “Apply” again. In our example as a fresh install, “vmnet2” through “vmnet5” will be created. Do keep a note on which ones are created for your VIRL virtual machine’s use. If you have created virtual interfaces for other software or tools in the past, it’ll use the next incremental numbers such as vmnet3 for your VIRL installation. If this is your fist time creating virtual networks in Fusion, “vmnet2” will be created. Jacks-MacBook-Pro:Downloads jackwang$ md5 virl.1.2.64.pc.ova It should match what is provided on Cisco’s download website. Mac comes with the utility of checking DM5 hash sum. To save your time later, it is important to make sure that the downloaded file matches the original. Step 1: Validate downloaded installation imageīecause the installation image downloaded is large, it is possible that the file is corrupted during download. Outbound TCP ports 45 must be permitted on your Internet firewall to allow connections to the Cisco SALT licensing servers.Ĭisco VIRL Installation on VMware Fusion Pro for Mac OS.If your Mac comes with an Intel CPU, you should be good to go. Intel CPUs with Intel VT-x / EPT or AMD CPUs with AMD-v/RVI extensions present and enabled in the BIOS.The above example shows that my Mac has four logical CPUs and 16GB of RAM. Jacks-MacBook-Pro:~ jackwang$ sysctl hw.ncpu Jacks-MacBook-Pro:~ jackwang$ sysctl hw.memsize Here is how to check your CPU and RAM on a Mac OSX. 4 logical CPUs and 8GB of memory or more is highly recommended. A minimum of 2 logical CPU cores (not physical CPU) and 4GB of memory that is dedicated to the VIRL virtual machine.If you only have VMware Player or non-Pro version Fusion, keep reading and I’ll have tricks and tips for you to make it work. This guide is based on VMware Fusion Pro version 8.1.1. I’ve put together a step-by-step tutorial on Cisco VIRL Installation on VMware Fusion Pro for Mac OS. I recommend you investing in a Pro version of Fusion to avoid issues. There is a workaround that you can create virtual interfaces via command line but it is never straightforward and hard to manage down the road. When working with VIRL, the Pro version provides a GUI interface for creating virtual networks required by VIRL, whereas Fusion does not. The Pro version of VMware Fusion has more features and greater flexibilities compared to the standard version. ![]()
