#CISCO 7200 ROUTER IMAGE FOR GNS3 HOW TO#
It also describes how to obtain and import the above router images to GNS3:īy default, the Nokia 7750 vSIM QEMU QCOW2 image is imported to GNS3 as a Host. The below article describes how to setup GNS3 on a Windows PC with VMWare Workstation.
Emulation is actually a better word than simulation as actual router software is run on GNS3 and one can use Wireshark to capture and analyze the data traffic and protocol passing among the devices on GNS3. GNS3 is a popular and yet free network simulation software. Besides VMWare Workstation, GNS also supports Virtualbox but since Virtualbox does not supported nested virtualization (i.e., SROS vSIM runs on QUEM KVM), Virtualbox may not work for this setup The free VMWare Workstation 12 Player should work.

Windows 10 PC (i5 6500 CPU with 16GB RAM).The following shows the hardware and software I used in the inter-op test: If everything works, the two virtual PCs should be able to ping to each other via the ePipe over the MPLS network. Two virtual PCs namely PC77 and PC99 are connected to the two ends of the ePipe. The following shows the network setup diagram on GNS3 for the MPLS ePipe service between a Nokia 7750 and a Cisco 7200 routers:Īn MPLS Pseudowire ePipe is set up between the Nokia 7750’s SAP 1/1/4 and the Cisco 7200’s FE1/1.
Also, the built-in Wireshark of GNS3 allows very easy protocol packet capture and analysis for troubleshooting and training purposes. Basic MPLS Pseudowire operations using the MPLS Transport and Service Labels to setup the MPLS Transport and Service Tunnels respectively are explained alongside with the configuration. Nokia’s SROS and Cisco’s IOS configs and commands are shown in this article to illustrate and verify the operations of the MPLS ePipe service between the two routers running on GNS3 on a Windows PC. The only hardware required to run this interop testing is just a Windows PC with 8 or 16GB RAM. This article describes how to setup GNS3 on a Windows PC to simulate/emulate an MPLS Pseudowire ePipe service between a Nokia 7750 and a Cisco 7200 routers. With the popularity of network virtualization, all major vendors now offer virtualized version of their equipment in one form or another and many simple network equipment testing can now be simulated/emulated on a Windows PC. Not long ago, network equipment testing involves a lot of coordination with your colleagues to share and wire up the equipment in the lab before any testing can be started.
