Cisco IOU L2 L3 lab with GNS3 Switching in GNS3. Cisco IOS on Unix, also known as Cisco IOU. Nov 29, 2013 Can you provide a Cisco IOS image to me? Any suggestions to find Images for Cisco Switches catalyst 2948 or else? I believe IOU may allow switches.

Well, what’s up? Today I’m going to discuss an interesting GNS3 Cisco simulator tutorial on how to connect Cisco IOU to GNS3-1.1. This is an alternate way of emulating Cisco switches in GNS3. So I hope this article will answer how to get a working layer 2 switch in GNS3-1.1 By the way what is a Cisco IOU device?

Cisco IOS on UNIX (IOU) is a fully working version of IOS that runs as a user mode UNIX/LINUX platform. IOU is built as an image and runs just like any other program. Layer 2 and layer 3 IOU images are available for switching and routing respectively. Cisco IOS on UNIX is aimed for internal uses only ( Cisco employees). Distribution of IOU images to customers or external persons is strictly prohibited.

The new version of GNS3 (1.1) supports IOS on UNIX, thereby providing fantastic Cisco switch simulator to the users. Usually people who are preparing for CCIE Routing and Switching will be using IOS on UNIX facility. The process to connect Cisco IOU to GNS3-1.1 is a little bit hassle though, but I’m gonna give you simple explanation with step by step procedures.

Tools Required • GNS3-1.1: • Oracle VirtualBox: • GNS3 IOU VM.ova: Is the Virtual Unix platform to run IOU image. It is a virtual box OVA file: • IOU image: IOU image is intended to use only for Cisco employees, distribution of IOU is strictly prohibited.

Please don’t ask me! Google is your friend always. • iourc.txt file: Is the license of Cisco IOU image. Diablo 1 Psx Iso. I have no privilege to provide it publicly, but I found a.

It may help you. Now we are ready to go Step 1: GNS3 IOU VM.ova Setup Double click ‘ GNS3 IOU VM.ova’, it will open up in VirtualBox (if you have installed VMware please right click on the GNS3 IOU VM.ova file and change the ‘open with’ to Oracle VM VirtualBox). Click Import button, it will be imported to VirtualBox VM list. Go to Settings → Network → Adapter 1 Make sure it is attached to Host-only Adapter with name VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter. Then click OK.

Start the GNS3 IOU VM, then login with following credentials. User name: root Password: cisco Step 2: Upload IOU Image to Unix (GNS3 IOU VM) Check the IP address of the GNS3 IOU VM by ifconfig command and note down the IP (my case 192.168.56. Runequest Third Edition Pdf. 102). Now come to the host machine and open any browser (I’m a Chrome fan). Enter the following link in the address bar. Choose your IOU image and click Upload button.

[ Troubleshoot: Please allow 192.168.56.XX network in the firewall, Disable proxy if you are using. In local PC (host machine) be sure that your VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter is set to accept DHCP] Step 3: GNS3 Server Configuration By default GNS3 host binding is 127.0.0.0:8000 (local host loopback) address, we have to change the server to 192.168.56.XX:8000. Go to Edit → Preferences → GNS3 Server → Local Server Drop down the Host Binding section and choose 192.168.56.XX, local VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter IP (mine 192.168.56.101) and click Apply.

Again Edit → Preferences → GNS3 Server → Remote Server Add a host by entering UNIX GNS3 IOU VM IP address that we noted in Step 2 (mine 192.168.56.101) and 8000 as port. Step 4: Connect Cisco IOU to GNS3-1.1 Go to Edit → Preferences → IOS on UNIX → General Settings The set the path of iourc.txt (iourc.txt can be stored on any directory of your local PC, eg: Desktop), browse and select it. Now go to IOU Devices, click New button and select server type as Remote. Your remote server will be listed there → Next You will receive a message “ You have chosen to use a remote server, please provide the path to IOU image located on the server!”, just click OK. Now type a Name for the IOU image and set IOU image path that you noted already in Step 2. Type should be L2 for switch IOU. Click Finish button.
