Beginning-Saving and Exporting GNS3 Labs Including Router Configs & Screenshots
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on March 13th, 2009 | 3 CommentsREPOST
We have all experienced a time when working in GNS3 and we _think_ we saved the the topology and router configurations. So you open GNS3 and load that config, start them routers, watch them boot all the way to the painful prompt
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
And your hard work is [...]
Core and 2 distribution blocks with L3 and L2 access switches
Written by pierky from http://pierky.tel/ on March 7th, 2009 | 23 CommentsI just arranged this lab I used when I was studying for CCNP, I hope someone will find it useful.
We have a 2 distribution blocks network linked with the core layer; all elements are dual linked to the upstream layer for redundancy.
Block 1 has L3 access switches, running EIGRP as stub routers. Distribution routers send [...]
GNS3 Topology: MPLS VPN and Traffic Engineering
Written by pierky from http://pierky.tel/ on January 23rd, 2009 | 27 CommentsAnother great lab from Pierky! Thanks!!
Routers P1, P2, P3 and P4 are in the core, just running OSPF in area 0. Each router has Loopback 0 with address 10.0.1.x (where x is the router number - P1 = 10.0.1.1).
Provider-edge routers PE1, PE2, PE3 and PE4 run OSPF in area 0 too; they have Loopback 0 [...]
GNS3-Topology: EvilRouters- BGP Over Multilink PPP Lab
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on January 11th, 2009 | 4 CommentsBGP for me is one hell of an interesting routing protocol. Until I got into working with enterprise networks, I never realized how much it was used. After working with it now for about 2 years, it’s really grown on me and is a part of the CCNP study which I cant wait to make [...]

GNS3-Topology: CCNA & CCNP Full Mesh Topology Template
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on December 1st, 2008 | 5 CommentsChris sent me a lab which he says has helped him to work on about 95% of his CCNA and CCNP lab requirements. I think this is a clear sign that using Dynamips or GNS3 can be effective in a big way with exam preperation. That 5% left over can be achieved in a few [...]

This post explains how to prevent this from happening.
ok, when you restart your Router or you turn off the GNS3, the VLAN configuration [...]
