   Sorry man, I don’t have a clue about these errors.
   I can just suggest you to open the .net file with a text editor and check that all paths are correct.
   Maybe you can have more luck on GNS3 Forum: http://www.gns3.net/
   Bye

   Pier Carlo, I am running this lab, I set up a correct idlepc and I am using a Core2Duo with 2Gb of memory. Despite this when all the routers are running the cpu is always at 100%. Is this by design or does it work in a different way for you? thanks,

   Hi Oliver, this lab uses a lot of routers, so many resources are required.
   I can run the lab with your same hardware, even if with high CPU and mem utilizations.
   I can suggest you to set the idlepc to other values and try again. Try to run a router, enter in “enable” mode, then calc the idlepc; doing so you have to login in all router and put them in enable.

   Training Implementing Cisco MPLS…

   Besucher des Kurses Implementing Cisco MPLS, die nach dem Training noch mehr üben möchten, können das problemlos mit Dynamips/GNS3 machen. Die “Fleißarbeit” dazu habe ich schon einmal gemacht und die .net-Datei, sowie die Startkonfigura…

   3.0.6 is not working properly,instead i advice to use 3.0.5 . i even could not install SDM onto router with 3.0.6, but when shifted to 3.0.5,it worked.

   Hello everyone,

   I am having a small problem concernig this topology.If i try to run VPC before I start gns ,the dynamips server will fail to start.If i try to run gns first,then vpc won;t start.I should mention i’m using 3.06.Do you have any ideas for me?

   Thank in advance

   Hi Andrei,

   I’ve built this lab with 3.06, so I don’t think this is the problem.

   Can you post the error you get when you start GNS3 after VPC?

   I don’t have a clue about this issue; I’m just thinking about a port conflict. You should check “[[Cloud]]” connections (.net file) and VPC lport and rport (startup.vpc) are OK: for example

   .net:

   connections = PE1:e0/3:NIO_udp:DYNAMIPS_LISTENING_PORT:127.0.0.1:VPC_LISTENING_PORT

   startup.vpc:

   conf lport VPC_LISTENING_PORT
   conf rport DYNAMIPS_LISTENING_PORT

   I hope you can solve this problem!

   Bye

    Hi all,

    I’m using 3.06. I got error “Could not connect to dynamips server 127.0.0.1:7200″. I try replace 127.0.0.1 to localhost, then it work.

    Problem when I start the vpc. Replace back localhost to 127.0.0.1. Get back the can’t connect to dynamips server error.

    Please help, tq.

    Hi Mofar,

    you can try to replace [127.0.0.1:7200] with [localhost:7200] and leave Clouds connections with 127.0.0.1 (PE3:e0/3:NIO_udp:5006:127.0.0.1:5007)

    I hope this will work,

    bye

    Hi guys,

    the new CCIE R&S requires the follwoing equipment;

    1841 series routers - IOS 12.4(T) – Advanced Enterprise Services (IOS)
    3825 series routers - IOS 12.4(T) – Advanced Enterprise Services (IOS)

    Is it any way that the above routers will be added min GNS3?

    Is it any plan on that?

    Thanks,
    Spyros

    Hi Spyros, all I can suggest you is to stay tuned on http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator

    Actually it seems no 1841/3825 are in the todo list… Anyway, are you sure you can’t use other (supported) routers to practice for your CCIE exam? I really don’t know anything about this exam, but maybe you can have same features on other routers with a proper IOS image.

    Bye,

    Hi Guys
    i am new in VPN i have one Question about VPN Design. i need to connect 15 Branch to HQ over MPLS VPN. main point is all branch users get ip address from HQ DHCP server (Same VLANs,Same IP Subnets) is it possible or no ?

    Hi, maybe you could take a look at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t8/feature/guide/ftdhmpls.html

    Anyway I’m a bit confused about your design. Do you have same subnet on every branch? Is it a L2 VPN?

    Hi,
    we dont have any existing VPN connection. now we are palnning to connect our branches throw IP-VPN (MPLS). each branch have maximum 10 to 15 users. ISP will provide IP-VPN connection to each branch, we have DHCP Server in HQ i need each branch user pc get IP address from HQ DHCP server is it possible ?

22. pierky
    July 28th, 2009 at 10:15 am

    Yes, you can use your HQ DHCP Server by adding the “ip helper-address XXXX” line on the LAN-facing interface of your CE router.
