Does anyone use eve-ng?

[Questions]

Can't I use the actual IOS in EVE-NG? (2960, 3560, 3650, 9XXX and so on)
only L2-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M-15.1-20130726.bin, L3-ADVENTERPRISEK9_IVS-M-15.3-0.9T.bin
Can I just use these two?

I look at the C9800, can't I use the other 9000 series?

no, I don't think you can use just any image in EVE or CML.  even GNS3 has limited number of images for routing (only one image from IOS 15 group can be used,  c7200 IOS 15.x ).

go to eve-ng.net to find out list of supported images; they have long list of images that can be use.

eve-ng or pnet, both are same, (PNET growing faster with more development features here)

Can't I use the actual IOS in EVE-NG? (2960, 3560, 3650, 9XXX and so on)   - NO it will not work - there is IOL or vIOS

C9800 vWLC works PNET and EVE download Qcow2 image and install, Google give many directions.

CML / PNET / EVE - these platforms build  to learn lab and understand the syntax of command technology, they can not give you 100% real  hardware simulation/emulation.
