Hi,

you're probably familiar with this router emulator. My question is, is there
a GUI for Windows? Something for making your own lab topology? Thanks.

The config file is very easy to use and the documents reasonable clear.
I understand that there is a GUI but I don't
know what is does or what platforms are supported.

Here is a complete *.net file for a 5 router lab that I used for some
OSPF work.

You only have to specify a link once which is nice.

The files below are the total, complete and exact config.
It really is VERY easy to use.

The only issue that I had was memory. I would suggest trying a
3600 first since you can have more routers on a single PC that
way I would guess. Also only use the IOS that you need.

Here is another config with a frame relay switch too.
Uses 2 PCs to distribute the simulation load.
No it's not but just by changing the IP Address it would be.
It is to run two instances of dynamips on one PC to work aroung the
Windows 2G per process meemory limit.

Hi SS,

Dynagui

Graphical front-end written by Yannick Le Teigner.

It uses Dynagen to communicate with the hypervisor.

http://dynagui.sourceforge.net/

Dynagui is a GUI frontend to the dynamips Cisco 7200 router simulator.

It uses the dyna-gen library in order to communicate with the dynamips
hypervisor.

It is currently alpha software, and comes with a lot of bugs.

Many features still need to be implemented in order to be fully useable
(delete nodes/links, remove PA, etc...)

Comments, requests, bug reports are all welcome on the Dynamips GUI
Frontend Forum:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=592111

-----------------------------------------

Dynagen - The Dynamips Configuration Generator

http://dyna-gen.sourceforge.net/

Dynagen by Greg Anuzelli, is a front-end (written in Python) that makes
lab simulation with the hypervisor very easy: it uses an INI-like
configuration file to provision Dynamips emulator networks.

It takes care of specifying the right port adapters, generating and
matching up those pesky NIO descriptors, specifying bridges,
frame-relay, ATM switches, etc.

It also provides a management CLI for listing devices, suspending and
reloading instances, etc.

You can also distribute virtual instances across different servers to
set up complex labs.

To begin with Dynagen, you can consult this very complete tutorial,
Dynamips / Dynagen Tutorial:

Its aweful and dont think it runs on Windows.

which?

There's DynaGUI but it's in early development. It's written in Python.
Link is http://dynagui.sourceforge.net/.


Honestly, I think if you check out this quick start guide you will see
that you don't need a GUI. The lab topologies are simple texts files.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamips#Quick_start_guide

Yes, I see now. I'll use config files instead. Thanks

The GUI for Dynagen, tried it out on Linux and did not work to well. Not
worth the effort.
