Using WinSCP upload to EVE-NG   /root folder.

Once copied Login to EVE-NG using SSH.

Fix Permission – this is must ( when ever you do any changes in EVE-NG)

/opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions

Add Node in to your LAB for testing.

If you have added the image you can firepower6 in your node list ( if not added correct folder, you still see firepower 6 as  grey colored – check permission and right image in place , in right folder).

 

I have give 4 CPU and 8GB RAM

Start the vFTD by clicking the Start

Once node started you can see color changed from Grey to Blue.
