Integration of cisco simulator GNS3 and Virtual Machine VMware, gns3vmware

Microsoft and Cisco environments:

We need to use many kinds of simulators in Cisco Certified learning, but these simulators cannot simulate the phenomena of our User Machines in applications more realistically. Therefore, we use the Microsoft environment to reflect some of the network applications we have built.

Microsoft environment: windows server 2003. In the Virtual Machine (VMware), we installed windows server 2003 to reflect the real applications of servers and hosts on the network.

Cisco environment: the simulator GNS3 is installed on a real machine.

 

Objective: In GNS3, you can build a simulated network to connect to servers in virtual machines, which is equivalent to a real server in the network.

Functions of the server.

Implementation steps: As shown in the complete environment:

1) drag two 3600-type routers R1 and R2.

2) Right-click "cloud configuration"> "C1" and configure options on the right.

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

4) Click the Add button and click the adapter that appears in the following figure. then click OK.

5) in the figure, click Add link --> select the Fast Ethernet link to connect R2 and R1, R1, and cloud C1, and click the NIC adapter generated on cloud C1 to establish a connection. After the network topology is set up, perform a series of related Configurations Based on the host key, which is the same as the initial environment.

6) Configure each vro according to the environment requirements.

R2 (config) # interface fastEthernet 0/0

R2 (config-if) # ip address 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 12.12.1 255.255.0

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 win server 2003 in VMware and bind win server 2003 to the Virtual Machine Nic. First, select the network --> setting in win server 2003.

8) bind it to the tab.

9) in the virtual machine, right-click the network neighbor --> properties --> right-click the local connection --> properties --> On the General tab, double-click the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to configure the IP address.

10) in cmd of Windows server 2003 running in the Virtual Machine: ping loopback0 loopbackport 192.168.1.1 of router R2 to check whether the connection is successful.
