CML 2.0 installation and quick start guide: youtu.be/H1N1x9kt-pY

Cisco CML 2 is one of your best options for CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Labs. CML 2 has multiple advantages over other platforms. CML 2 supports an HTML5 web client and contains all the Cisco IOS images. You don't have to use a thick client like you do with other platforms.

You also don't have to try to find images as they are all included as part of your CML subscription and by simply mapping an ISO drive to your virtual machine you can immediately start using all Cisco IOS images in your topologies. Other solutions require that you provide your own IOS images - typically they recommend that you buy a CML subscription anyway. That means that you are already paying for CML.

CML2 is also an official Cisco product - that means that you don't have to worry about any gray legal issues with regards to running Cisco IOS images on your laptop. This is an official Cisco product that is supported by Cisco. By paying your yearly subscription fee of $199, you can use Cisco IOS images such as IOSv, IOSvL2, ASAv, NX-OSv and others without any worries. CML 2.1 has everything you need to get started.

Cisco have made massive changes to their certification programs and it is fantastic to see the new version of CML in action.
