Integration of Cisco emulator GNS3 and virtual machine vmware

1. Microsoft and Cisco environments:

In Cisco Certified learning, we need to use a number of classes of simulators, but these simulators are not able to more realistically simulate the phenomenon of our user machine in the application. As a result, we use Microsoft's environment to more realistically reflect some of the applications in the network we are building.

Microsoft Environment: Windows Server 2003 , on the virtual machine ( VMware ) in our installation Windows Server 2003 Some applications of real servers and hosts can be embodied in the network.

Cisco Environment: Simulator GNS3 and installed in the real machine.

2. target: in the GNS3 can build the analog network, connect the server in the virtual machine, equivalent to the real service in the network

The function of the service device.

3. Implementation steps: as shown in the complete environment:

1) Drag two 3600 Models of Routers in GNS3 R1 and R2, and a cloud.

2) Right click on the cloud click Configuration-->c1, then do the option configuration on the left.

3) Select the VMware network adapter in the network adapter drop-down menu under the Ethernet NIO tab VMnet1 .

4) Click the Add button-> then click the adapter that appears in the picture box below--> click OK .

5) Click on the Add link in the diagram-> Select the Fast Ethernet link to connect R2 and R1 and R1 and Cloud C1 , and click on the Cloud C1 Create a connection on the NIC adapter that is generated. Network topology is completed, and the same as the original given environment, press the power button after a series of related configuration.

6) Configure each router according to the requirements given by the environment.

R2 (config) #interface fastethernet 0/0

R2 (config-if) #ip address 12.12.12.2 255.255.255.0

R2 (config-if) #no shutdown

R2 (config) #interface loopback 0

R2 (config-if) #ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

R2 (config-if) #no shutdown

R1 (config) #interface fastethernet 0/0

R1 (config-if) #ip address 12.12.12.1 255.255.255.0

R1 (config-if) #no shutdown

R1 (config) #interface fastethernet 1/0

R1 (config-if) #ip address 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0

R1 (config-if) #no shutdown

R2 (config) #ip Route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 12.12.12.1

R1 (config) #ip Route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.255 12.12.12.2

7) Open the virtual machine in VMware win Server 2003for win Server 2003 the bindings to the virtual machine NIC. First Select the network->settingin the win Server 2003 .

8) Binding in Tabs.

9) Right-click a network neighbor in a virtual machine--> Properties--> Right-click Local Area Connection--> Properties--> General tab, double-click Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to configure IP addresses, and so on.

Ten) in the run cmd of the virtual machine in win Server 2003 :ping router R2 's loopback0 loopback 192.168.1.1, simple to see if connected, proves that the environment is integrated successfully.
