Setup Dynamips/Dynagen Router Emulation Environment on Ubuntu Linux
Saturday, 10. March 2007, 04:57:00
1. Download Dynamips and Dynagen
2.
In following text, if full path is not specified, /opt/dynamips is the start point.
3. Set up environment variables
Add the following lines into ~/.bash_profile
4.(optional) Configure dynagen
Since my X setting is a bit messed I cannot use xterm because of "X locale not supported" and "Cannot open input method". As a result I have to find an alternative.
Edit dynagen/dynagen.ini, jump to the following lines:
Modify the second line to:
5. Dowload an IOS image. Below is a possible site:
http://www.cublog.cn/u/17982/showart.php?id=221235
6. Configure a dynagen topology.
Edit the text file ccnp_mini.net, add following contents (make usre to give image attribute a valid path):
Below is the topology depicted in the following figure:
7. Run an emulation.
In a gnome-terminal tab, execute
In another tab, execute
The output in the console may be like:
8. Continue running
Start a router and connect to it
Now you'll see a new rxvt window. That's the telnet session for router R1.
2.
mkdir dynamips mv dynamips-0.2.5-x86.bin /opt/dynamips mv dynagen-0.9.0.tar.gz /opt/dynamips cd /opt/dynamips; tar zxvf dynagen-0.9.0.tar.gz ; ln -s dynagen-0.9.0 dynagen
In following text, if full path is not specified, /opt/dynamips is the start point.
3. Set up environment variables
Add the following lines into ~/.bash_profile
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dynamips:/opt/dynamips/dynagen
4.(optional) Configure dynagen
Since my X setting is a bit messed I cannot use xterm because of "X locale not supported" and "Cannot open input method". As a result I have to find an alternative.
sudo apt-get install rxvt
Edit dynagen/dynagen.ini, jump to the following lines:
# Uncomment below for Linux telnet = xterm -T %d -e telnet %h %p > /dev/null 2>&1 &
Modify the second line to:
telnet =rxvt -T %d -e telnet %h %p > /dev/null 2>&1 &
5. Dowload an IOS image. Below is a possible site:
http://www.cublog.cn/u/17982/showart.php?id=221235
mkdir ios mv unzip-c7200-is-mz.122-37.bin ios
6. Configure a dynagen topology.
mkdir labini; cd labini touch ccnp_mini.net
Edit the text file ccnp_mini.net, add following contents (make usre to give image attribute a valid path):

Below is the topology depicted in the following figure:
7. Run an emulation.
In a gnome-terminal tab, execute
dynamips -H 7200
In another tab, execute
dynagen /opt/dynamips/labini/ccnp_mini.net
The output in the console may be like:
Reading configuration file... Network successfully started Dynagen management console for Dynamips =>
8. Continue running
=> list Name Type State Server Console R1 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3001 R2 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3002 R3 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3003 R4 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3004 R5 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3005 R6 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3006 R7 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3007 R8 7200 stopped localhost:7200 3008 FR1 FRSW n/a localhost:7200 n/a AT1 ATMSW n/a localhost:7200 n/a SW1 ETHSW n/a localhost:7200 n/a
Start a router and connect to it
=> start R1 100-C7200 'R1' started => telnet R1 =>
Now you'll see a new rxvt window. That's the telnet session for router R1.
