After you upload the images to their respective folders in EVE-NG, you need to convert the ova files to qcow2. Once you have the images, you need to create a folder for each one and then transfer the image to EVE-NG using a Frezzila or WinSCP tool. You will need to have the following Cisco SD-WAN images to set up this practice lab environment on EVE-NG:

However, if you want to make a large topology with redundant controllers and many vEdge devices, you must have a lot of computing resources at your disposal.

For a small practicing topology consisting of 1 controller of each type and 3-4 vEdges, you should give the EVE-NG VM at least 8 vCPUs and 16GB of RAM. One thing I'd like to mention is that Cisco SD-WAN requires a lot of processing power. In this lesson, I will show you one way to set up a fully functional Cisco SD-WAN home lab on EVE-NG that can be used to practice every topic in the exam's blueprint. However, for people who do not have the chance to touch it at work, it is actually not easy to get access to a practice lab. Network engineers that want to pass the lab exam should have extensive hands-on experience with the solutions. Cisco SD-WAN is a major topic in the CCE Enterprise blueprint now.
