Issue with Dynamips - Beginner
Hi,
I am a beginner with dynagen/dynamips. I am in the pursuit of achieving CCIE. I need Dynamips to work for me. I am trying to start real small, with GNS3. Please find my INI file here below. I get these errors below when i run this INI file.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Warning: Could not set working directory to /tmp on server localhost:7200
*** Warning: Could not connect to dynamips server localhost:7201
*** Warning: Connecting R1 F0/0 to R2 F1/1 resulted in:
attempt to connect to non-existent interface in slot 1 on device R2
*** Warning: Connecting R2 F1/1 to R1 F0/0 resulted in:
attempt to connect to non-existent interface in slot 1 on device R2
*** Error: errors during loading of the topology file, please correct them
Press ENTER to continue

If there is someone who can help me in doing this, would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

I'm not using GNS but I'd reccomend you start here and look it over including the part on "hardware currently emulated":
http://dynagen.org/tutorial.htm
A couple of problems I see - your using NM-4T modules - those are for Serial ports "S 0/0", but in your config you are saying "F X/Y" for fast ethernet. If you want to use ethernet ports you could use module "NM-4E" that will give you ethernet ports and then it would be "E 0/0" Also pay attention to the slots you are specifying. If you say "slot1 = NM-4E" then the first port would be F1/0. If you say "slot0 = NM-4E" than it would be F0/0.
Another thing is you only need to specify one side of the connection in the file. If you connect R1 to R2 - you only need to put in the R1 side, don't specify the same connection back on R2.
With the working directory error you have - you need to create a directory on you system first like "C:Program FilesDynamipsworking" and then in your file it should say workingdir = C:Program FilesDynamipsworking not workingdir = mp.
With the "cannot connect to dynamips error" I see that if I have not started dynamimps first with "dynamips-start.cmd" I'm guessing this is the same for you.
This is all without using GNS - so I'm not sure how that will affect things - but thats what the errors are.
Thank you David for the reply
