Network Diagram - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/appendix/network-diagram
Testing: Fail, Again. In the Concept and Benefits. Section I wrote about the important of thinking about things logically as opposed to Physically. And, in the GNS to Physical. Section I demonstrated how it was possible to change a Cloud image in GNS3 to a Multilayer switch image. Combining these two ideas you can use GNS3 as a network diagram tool by using Cloud images to represent each device in your network. Below I have used the network diagram from the GNS3 to Physical. 4 x old PCs. 2 x 3550 switches.

Testing: Fail - Ultimate Cisco Lab

Testing: Fail, Again. You've now got your PC connected to the Home network is another NIC ready to be plugged in to your Lab network. You've also got your Virtual Machine connected to the Home network as well as another NIC ready to be plugged in to your Lab network. To make things easier, you configure the router to as a DHCP Server (Configuration 1). Ip dhcp pool DHCP-PHYSICAL. Network 172.16.22.0 255.255.255.0. Default-router 172.16.22.1. Dns-server 139.130.4.4 144.140.70.30. Ip dhcp pool DHCP-VIRTUAL.

Windows - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/pc-setup/windows
Testing: Fail, Again. If you have multiple NICs installed as I do (see the What You'll Need. Page for a refresher) it is a good idea to name each one of your NICs in Windows so that you know what is used for - as Figure 1. A couple of things to note about the image:. Most NICs are currently down as my lab equipment is switched off. The VM-PC adapter is the physical NIC which is mapped to a Virtual Machine. This is further discussed later on. Need to have their IPv4 settings changed. The reason why these ...

VM(s) - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/pc-setup/virtual-machines
Testing: Fail, Again. Next, you'll need to configure your Virtual Machine(s). If you'd like to have your VM connected to your Home network at the same time as the Lab network, you'll need to set up two NICs. If your only interested in connecting it to the Lab network then you'll only need to set up one NIC. I suggest you connect your VM to both networks as having it connected to the Home network allows you to download patches and software packages that you find you need later on down track.

Testing: Fail, Again. Testing: Fail, Again. Testing: Fail, Again. Now that you know how to connect your GNS3 topology to your physical lab, you can start creating all types of topologies consisting of physical and virtual equipment. To test this new functionality out, you decide re-use the topology that was built in the Testing: Fail. Section but expand on it to include a GNS3 router (Figure 2). Testing: Fail, Again continued. Ping and Internet Test. As you did last time. Like last time,. To resolve the ...

Basics - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/pc-setup/basics
Testing: Fail, Again. The first thing you should do in the "Setup" phase is install all hardware. Using the network diagrams you drew in the Draw It. Section will prove very useful here. If you have purchased additional network cards, monitors, a KVM switch, etc, test each new piece of equipment to ensure that it works as expected. Once the hardware is installed - if you haven't already, install the necessary software, e.g GNS3 and VirtualBox.

PC Setup - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/pc-setup
Testing: Fail, Again. The "PC Setup" section is designed to assist readers in setting up network connectivity between their Physical machines, Virtual machines and Physical hardware through their Lab network, while still maintaining internet connectivity through their Home network. If you have no need to connect your machine(s) to two networks at once (e.g Lab network and Home network), please feel free to skip to the GNS3 Setup. Section. Otherwise, continue to the next page, Basics.

Routes, Again - Ultimate Cisco Lab
http://www.ultimateciscolab.info/routes-again
Testing: Fail, Again. To resolve this issue once and for all, you should instead set up routes for large subnets and use these for your Lab networks. For example, on my PCs I have set up routes to forward the following subnets out of their Lab NICs:. 192168.0.0 /16. This way I can use any address and/or subnet within these ranges without having to add any more routes. This makes things a lot more convenient, especially if you use multiple PCs. Demonstrates how all 192.168.0.0 /16,. 172160.0 /12 and.
