Let's get back to the official distribution of Cisco - the Packet Tracert emulator,
approved by the Networking Academy, which is awarded for the coverage of that

Dynamips Emulator

The Dynamips project started in 2005 as a router emulator
Cisco 7200 on PC
on the right handy for training. Today Dynamips can help
other Cisco platforms - series 3600, 3700 and 2600. Moreover, with a choice of different
add-on options: CPU (MIPS64 and PowerPC), RAM (DRAM, Packet SRAM, NVRAM),
different types of cards and ports. Transferred the ability to create virtual
bridges and commutators. The main feature is an attachment that can be emulated
connect to the real network, for which one of the outputs of the virtual router
show up from a real mesh card. Work in hypervisor mode is allowed
rozpodіliti navantazhennia on kіlka systems, even IOS (Internet Operating System)
images are more likely to be occupied in RAM and with a large number of virtual systems
select a lot of resources.

The required package is available from the repositories of other Linux distributions. For
traffic jamming pcap library when installed in Windows
it is necessary to install WinPCAP on your own. Ubuntu/Debian installation
is simple:

$ sudo apt-get install dynamips

All Dynamips parameters can be easily recognized by running yoga with the "--help" key. behind
Locked in is Cisco 7206VXR with NPE-200 and 256MB DRAM. Chob
For other platforms, follow the "-P" parameter (for example, "-P 3600").
Added key "-t" allows you to "change" the inside of the virtual
router (depending on the selected type, the "-t" arguments will be different).
To run, you need a real Cisco IOS image, which is not part of
of the package, and it is necessary to zavantazhuvat okremo (it is easy to find Google, in Merezh
available selections by kіlka gіgіv). Some IOS images are shipped crumpled
look, and before zavantazhennyami їkh it is necessary to unpack:

$ unzip -p c7200-g6ik8s-mz.124-2.T1.bin > c7200.image

Let's start:

$dynamips c7200.image

But the plan is to build Dynamips not too hard to create on yoga basis
mezhu s kіlkoh routerіv, happen to get a little better. Tse zavdannya
You can help with Dynagen help.
as a text front end to Dynamips. Victory simple file
Describing the virtual middle ground, we can easily pick up a sprat of outbuildings.
Golovne, that all settings are selected in one place, the simple syntax is
easy to edit.

$nano v_router.net

# Description of the node on which Dynamips is installed
# Router type
# Way to IOS file
image = /home/grinder/images/c7200.image
# Global parameters, in this case the platform and RAM, if necessary, in the middle
router can be specified specific settings
npe = npe-400
ram=160

# First router

# It is possible to connect, our interface will be Serial1 / 0 on R1
connections up to Serial1/0 R2
s1/0 = R2 s1/0

[]
# Zalishaєmo everything for zamovchuvannyam

This is the simplest example, to understand the essence of nalashtuvan. The "combat" configuration can
Get a dozen different routers and configurations. For example, to call
one of the outputs of the virtual router with a fenced-in interface of the real phone
virtual system, we write:

s2/0 = NIO_linux_eth:eth1

Start up dynamips in hypervisor mode (if you can
start at foni by adding "&"):

$ sudo dynamips -H 7200

Dekіlka of virtual routers can pretty much take over the system. And why
independent of real work. Tse vіdbuvaetsya that
Dynamips doesn't know if the router is rooting the robot, and if it's in
smart mode. The idlepc command allows you to analyze IOS images from
that znachiti tsikli simple. At the first start, the value is not inserted:

*** Warning: Starting R1 without a valid idle-pc value

The idle-pc number required can be removed by entering the "idlepc" command in the dynagen console
get router_name":

=> idlepc get R1

If you see a sprat value, the most optimal value is marked with the "*" sign.
Then they gave the command to ring, and it is necessary to enter one of the digits,
inversely idlepc. After which value will be added to
win. When starting Dynamips manually idlepc
ask for the help of the "--idle-pc=" parameter, as an option, in
Dynagen config router sections can be added:

idlepc=0x6076a394

Revisiting the entire list of idlepc is simple:

=> idlepc show R1

Everything, the router can be lashed.

The project outlined the dekilcom with subprojects to promote Dynagen more
handy. For example, gDynagen
provides a single console for entering commands for Dynamips + Dynagen. Generator
lashing for Dynagen –
confDynagen
add a new configuration mode, which allows you to change
Dynagen parameters "on the fly" without a grain of the virtual line.

Good day! Today, I want to tell you about one of the cicavian tools of a fencing engineer like UNL. The purpose of this medium is emulation and visual design, which allows you to design both Cisco images (Dynamips emulator), and Juniper or QEMU components. The list of supportive possessions is great, which I managed to make short, so l2 commutators, so that in this hour I play STP and yoga variations, and Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3 cannot cope with these tasks.

To the point, to tell someone else, you know the place, you can use a lot of technical gadgets, including batteries, batteries, headsets.

Well, well, let's build our virtual lab for a bit:

  1. Capture the image of the virtual machine (I selected the Google Drive item);
  2. Optional VMWare Player (no cost);
  3. Display the image of the virtual machine in VMWare Player. If possible, it’s better to go into the settings and add (if possible) operational memory, processor cores and tick the virtualization mode:
  4. We need images about IOL (IOS on Linux), how to get them (341 Mb). Є і L2 and L3 extension.
  5. We also need a program for downloading files behind a stolen protocol.
  6. Starting the virtual machine, logging in root:unl. Bachimo requested http://192.168.241.129/ from the console.

    Your IP addresses may vary.

  7. Open your browser and choose your web interface. You can log in under oblіkovy dannymi admin:unl
  8. For help, WinSCP is downloaded to the server (we create a connection via scp with root:unl cloud data on ip)

    Connect and go to the catalog /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin, then download the bin-images of our IOLs. There you need to place the file iourc offensive zmistu:

    For some reason, for some reason, the image cannot be launched, for example, the host name has changed, or else, you can speed it up with a keygen (in the archive for 4), ./scripts/keygen.py. Copy it from the virtual machine and run it like this (intellectually pointing out the correct path):
    # python /path/to/keygen.py
    Also, add a varto to the /etc/hosts file in the next row:
    127.0.0.0 xml.cisco.com

  9. We set the access rights with the command:
    /opt/unetlab/wrappers/unl_wrapper -a fixpermissions
  10. Now let's reconsider that everything works correctly:
    # cd /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin
    # touch NETMAP
    # LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/lib /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin/i86bi-linux-l2-ipbasek9-15.1e.bin 1

    Replacing the commutator and let's go.

  11. Now pratsyuvatimemo at the web interface. If we have 10 krok viishov, then we can’t winknut folds. Log in, select LABS from the top menu. At the Actions branch, select Add a new lab

    Enter data, name of the laboratory work, version, for the reason you can indicate the author.


    We add active attachments (Nodes). Here is a great choice of switches and routers of various vendors. We have occupied only a few IOLs so far.


    To that add IOL. Take 3 pieces, change the icon and save the Serial interface.

    For z'єdnannya we need a line zv'yazku. Here it is called Networks. Dodamo three measures


    Now with the right mouse button, click on the node and select the Interfaces item.

    Here we select the appropriate meshes on the skin interface


    Axis yak topology weishl


    Vіdkriєmo lab to launch


    Let's run all nodes


    Let's go to the console before I add it. Before the speech, as if under the node, the tricot icon means that the node is running, as if the square means zupinena.


    To make it easier to get to the annexes, you can quickly edit the association protocols. Registry file:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


    @="URL:Telnet Protocol"
    "EditFlags"=dword:00000002
    "FriendlyTypeName"="@ieframe.dll,-907"
    "URL Protocol"=""
    "BrowserFlags"=dword:00000008


    @="c:\putty.exe,0"


    @=""


    @="\"c:\putty.exe\" %1"

    Take the file like 1.reg and import it to the registry.

  12. We review the work of these protocols, which are not available in CPT and GNS:
    Haha! Practice! The top right image shows all STP changes. Cisco Packet Tracer has no commands debug spanning-tree events, and in GNS3 it was not possible to start the L2 switch, but etherswitch router I didn’t want to practice so that I could get better

Friends! Join our

Good time.
If you want to come in about those, how to emulate Cisco IOS, everything is scrolling in your head: dynamips, dynagen or gns3, yes, you want everything in the kit, dragging the GUI Front end.

Recently, I wrote about those that Cisco on September 17, in the laboratory CCIE RS, added Layer 2 to the TroubleShooting section, vicorist virtual emulation based on L2IOU.

I didn't know before that Cisco has its own emulator, so I searched for information. It turned out that it was possible to successfully run the whole thing on the right, and everything is not bad, and there are no more processor clocks like dynamips.

Zagalom, less zatsіkavilo and I tried it again.
IOU runs on a unix-like system, I installed a virtual machine (vmware fusion under Mac OS), downloaded the remaining version of Linux Ubuntu, installed it from start to finish.

In my view the file is named like this: i86bi_linux-ipbase-ms

What is GNS3?

GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows you to simulate a virtual network from routers and virtual machines. An indispensable tool for learning and testing. Pratsyuє practical on all platforms. It is wonderful to go for setting up stands on robotic steel machines.
Depending on the hardware platform, on which GNS3 can be installed, it is possible to create complex projects that are formed by routers in Cisco, Cisco ASA, Juniper, as well as servers for managing networked operating systems.

For your ability to gain access to the real GNS3, you will become a practical laboratory. In addition, laboratory robots that are trained in GNS3 can become an addition to students who are preparing for CCNA / CCNP and CCIE certification tests from a real laboratory.
The only drawback of this software is the ability to fully simulate other Cisco switches. There will be no changes in new versions, because the reason for this is the cardinal difference in the hardware platform of routers and Cisco rolls. In some cases, it is not enough time to go for the help of the NM-16ESW treadmill module. It's a pity that the listing of commands is somewhat different from the NM-16ESW version and the real Cisco scrolls, but it's generally suitable for learning.
The GNS3 warehouse does not include images of IOS/IPS/PIX/ASA/JunOS, stinks of stench are part of the commercial products of leading companies, and there is no direct reference to the GNS3 project. At the moment, this is no longer a problem, for those who know the necessary image are no longer important.

One of the most important features of GNS3 is the ability to combine topology with a real network. It gives just a unique opportunity to put it into practice, be it a project without any real possession. The WireShark widget allows you to monitor traffic in the middle of the design topology, which gives additional information for the understanding of the technologies that are being developed.
And above all, GNS3 is absolutely cost-free. Tse vіdkrite software security, and whether someone can take advantage of yoga. There are several versions for Linux, MS Windows XP and Windows 7, as well as for MacOS.

GNS chi IOU?

Krim GNS is another simulator - IOU - IOS on UNIX. GNS chi IOU? IOU chi GNS? Let's start with IOU, so we won't be able to beat yoga for the time being.
As you can see from the name - put on top of UNIX. Earlier it was Solaris, now it is supported by Linux.
The most popular yoga pluses:
  • Mayzhe povnotsіnna podtrimka yak L3, і L2. This emulator is victorious when storing CCIE laboratory tests.
  • Low power to PC resources. More precisely to the CPU. Remembrance is also required.
  • There is no border between boards and interfaces. At the nalashtuvannyah, you simply indicate what you want and what you want.

Cons:

  • Naygolovnіshe - tse proprietary software, which is not officially recognized in any way. For torrents, image L2IOU, L3IOU, but it's illegal.
    On the cisco.com website, it was written:

    Cisco IOS on Unix is ​​a tool that is installed for the internal desktop only. Distribution of IOU images customers or external persons, or discussion of IOU with customers or external persons, is prohibited. Don't do it or we'll have to come and kill you.

  • the installation and adjustment of the IOU is not considered simple. It is necessary for the mother to be calm and able to work in nixes, to get to know the topologies, files, adjust and save the configuration of the outbuildings.
  • Poor graphical interface. Let me just marvel at the topology that has emerged. The creation of topology - only through a textual set of rows that describe the links and extensions. Zagalom, you need to call.
Alece is really a useful utility for unprincipled labor of IT workers. If you need a lab with 20+ attachments or you need to improve with QinQ, Rapid PVST (and other L2 technologies) or you want to do Tshoot seriously, or preparing for CCIE is for you.
At the next stage, mi rosepovimo, how to practice with IOU and we will guide the preparation of the CCIE RS stand in the home minds.

Pochatkove nalashtuvannya GNS3. Adding a Cisco IOS Image

The most important advantage of GNS3 is the simplicity and efficiency in the creation of projects for the development of laboratory robots. A program has been installed to make a minimum of cob patches, so that you can work for a couple of whilins.
Please, what do you have already. Dodamo їх. Open the program menu item Edit -> IOS images and hypervisors.

You need to specify the path to the Cisco IOS image file

As soon as the image file is retrieved, a platform will be automatically selected for each assignment image and, in some cases, a list with a list of available models will become available. The minimum recommended amount of RAM will also be installed.

For most options, at this stage, you can click Save, and then Close and proceed to create a new project with different routers on the previously assigned platform.

Some types of GNS3 don't recognize the platform, the model is the required amount of RAM for the selected Cisco IOS image. In such a state of mind, all the parameters can be changed independently.
Give respect to the IDLE PC field. So far, it’s not chіpaєmo.
After all the necessary parameters have been entered, do not forget to press the Save button. The selected image will appear in the list of available images for creating the project.

Let's move the router to a working Maidan. Obviously, we take that model, for which there is an image. Pardons are not guilty buti.

Click on the beast on the green "Start" button. Give respect to those who have increased their interest in the CPU. One router vantage 100% one CPU core. If you have, for example, a Dual Core CPU (tobto 4 threads), then you will have a 25% interest rate. Now hvilyuvannya needs to calm down.
For which, select Idle PC from the context menu. The very mechanism allows you to optimize the resource utilization of the processor. The PC calculates the value and pronounces the list to you. It is recommended to choose the value with the sign *. As soon as the stench vikoristovuyutsya, CPU zavantazhennia drops to zero. Yakscho raptom not vyyshlo, iteruemo doti, the docks are not reachable bazhany. Now, after the impending launch, after the IOS GNS takeover, the entire processor hour is not to blame.

Everything is ready for connection. GNS can be standard for this. Select Console from the context menu. For locking the GNS software program Putty, or you can use your own, for example, SecureCRT for customizations. It is sufficient to indicate the path of the terminal program file.
