Link to Tutorial for setting up Putty Connection Manager in GNS3

http://www.brainbump.net/2008/08/gns3how-to-use-putty-connection-manager-for-console-access/

I haven't been able to get this to work yet. Setting up the path in GNS3 to PCM is giving me fits.

I can open PCM by itself and access two routers that I set up in GNS3 after installing PCM, but I cannot open any older lab projects that I made earlier. It appears either the tutorial is not done on a 64bit system, or it was done on an earlier version of GNS3, or both.

CBT Nuggets Advanced EIGRP lab configuration

I ended up finding out that some IP addresses I had set a previous time I had the Junos lab open had stayed attached to the interface. Once I figured out how to delete the addresses, (or I could have just made the IP I wanted active, the primary address) it pinged through fine.

Anyway, with this solved, back to the CCNP studying.

Reworked the EIGRP CBT Nuggets lab in GNS3. These Configs include everything in videos 5 and 6, including the Frame relay router setup.

DON'T Forget to set your clocks in your routers...

JunOS on GNS3

Ok. Apparently, I was making the whole junos on GNS3 out to be a lot more difficult than it is now, it seems, at least for me. The version of OLIVE I sourced already had all the modifications to QEMU, and FreeBSD made, so I didn't have to do anything but set the path to the instance of OLIVE.




Anyway, if you can source a usable version of Olive(the one I found already had QEMU patched for UDP out of the box), and are running at least GNS3 V7.4 on a Vista machine as I am, I can verify it works out of the box, and the setup is similar to QEMU hosts.




After years of simply monitoring Juniper interfaces, now I am configuring them...

I'm Back !

Looks like I'm going to ramp up again for at least taking Route hopefully by the end of the year.

First though, I am figuring out GNS3 as relates to QEMU hosting and running Juniper Olive as I'd like to get Juniper certified in the near future as well. We are using more Juniper in our Commercial Edge Network everyday, and I seem to end up working most of the new installs and initial triage of customer issues lately. I've moved to a daytime shift for the first time since I went back to school back in summer of 2003(Woo Hoo!)

Since graduating last August, there just weren't any opportunities to move to days until just this August, but finally, I'm there.

If I can figure it all out, (and I just got MicroCore and the Qemu hosting figured out in about 5 minutes), I'll post another how to for folks here. The how-to I used for the QEMU hosting is here:

https://docs.google.com/View?id=dfzhd6z4_397g3jjf4db

It's quite good, and actually the process is quite simple.

Anyway, good to be back on it and can't wait to get JUNOS up and running.

Looks like at least a few people may have found what I've posted here helpful, as it's getting close to 3,000 page looks now, and seems to be averaging about 400 per month or so.

Fell off the Wagon

Anyone following might have noticed that there have been no posts lately.

I've taken a break from certs, and even sold the lab to someone I work with. Back to Racing SCCA Solo (Auto-cross) for the next year or so. My car (08' subaru WRX) will likely be re-classed to a class that it can actually be competitive in, and things are jumpin' at work. Since we are switching over to a mainly Alcatel 77xx platform, and What Cisco Transport we utilize, doesn't really utilize IOS as a front end, I don't really need the CCNP right now. When I feel I'm ready to move into engineering, I'll likely pick this back up, but not until I finish the first level Alcatel, and Juniper Certifications.

Good luck to all, and I hope what I have here is useful.

Re-posting configs from the labs

As I am going through the CBT Nuggets labs again, I'll be posting the more-correct configs now that I know what "behind the scenes" configurations were set up on the routers prior to starting the labs.

My knowledge was limited the first time through these labs, so now I know how they were set up to produce the expected results.

Just finished the first two EIGRP labs.

Network Closet Redesign

Got home from work today and decided to clean up the closet and get things more accessible for starting Switch.

The Before:






And the After, courtesy of Ikea:



Added a TFTP server, Monitor, keyboard and a touchpad.




I used the Kill-a-watt to check power consumption again.

With the 3550, and 2509 fired up, the meter read about 98 watts, as I added each router, it went up about 15 watts per router through the first three 2620 XM's. The 2650's were about 30-40 watts a piece and the last 2621 xm was 20watts. All told, I was at 200 watts with 7 routers and a switch powered up.

Adding the Dell optiplex and an old crt monitor added another 100watts. So, at 300 watt's, I'll definitely be saving my configs, and powering it down when it's not in use now. Left on 24hours a day, that works out to close to $20 a month, which would be about 20% of our electric bill now, and we're getting close to the months here in Southeast Texas in which our bill for a fairly small house (almost 2000 square feet) can run up to $300 a month.

Something to consider...
