How to add custom images in EVE-NG

All the symbols that are available for selection when adding a device to the lab in EVE-NG are saved in the directory /opt/untellable/html/images/icons. You only need to have your own unique symbols in the png format, 52×52 pixels in size.

Simply use your favorite SFTP program and Win SCP is connected to the directory via SSH, and then upload your symbols.

Including the supplied blue network symbols

The Affinity created stunning and distinct blue network symbols, and Download nexus qcow2 to resize them into a finished, usable png file.

From The Network, download the network symbols as a zip file, and then use SFTP to upload the zip file to an arbitrary location on your EVE-NG machine.

Other versions can be supported by using the steps listed below. Please use the correct image folder name for other versions; for example, the Nexus 9300v 9.3.9 folder name would be nxosv9k-9300v-9.3.9 and the Nexus 9500v 9.3.9 folder name would be nxosv9k-9500v-9.3.9.
