Eve-ng - Interface issues with csr1000v

Hi Everyone,

I'm having interface issues with csr1000v (csr1000v-universalk9.16.09.06) on eve-ng. The installation itself is fine (followed this link https://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documentation/howtos/howto-add-cisco-csrv1000-16-x-denali-everest-fuji/) and I can boot up the node no problem.

But when I unshut the interface, I get this error:

Router(config)#int gi1 Router(config-if)#ip add 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)#no shut [vmxnet3][WR][vmxnet3_get_command_status]: Received request for unknown command: cafe000f Router(config-if)# 

the interface does come up, but you won't be able to ping it. For example, I had two nodes connected point to point - both CSR100v's, both having the same problems, both can ping themselves, but also both not able to ping the other side.

Here's what I have done thus far:

- I have tried deleting and adding back again.

- Also tried using different versions (csr1000v-universalk9.17.03.03, then csr1000v-universalk9.16.06.05) and still nothing.

- Tried changing the Qemu Nic setting from "tpl(vmxnet3)" to "vmxnet3"

I am running eve-ng in Workstation 16 Pro (16.1.0 build-17198959). All other nodes I have (Cisco IOL, Cisco NX-OSv 9K, Juniper vSRX) all seem to be working fine.

Thanks in advance on any advice you can give!
