Short introduction to Cisco IOS Images

Cisco IOS image is a collection of network operating functions and systems used in Cisco network appliances and these IOS images allow the users to interact with the hardware of Cisco devices. By default every Cisco device have a installed IOS images but you can change and reinstall the new version IOS anytime. Users can interact with Cisco hardware through the command line interface (CLI) or the graphical user interface (GUI).

The Cisco IOS image is stored in flash-memory, this means the following:

It is a non volatile storage, which mean that the information is not lost in case of power shutdown.
But it can be modified or configured as required.
You can store several versions of IOS images.
The IOS is copied from flash memory to volatile RAM.
The size of flash-memory & RAM determines which image can be installed in device.

How to Download & Use Cisco ISO XR in GNS3 with Virtualbox

How to Configure Cisco XR IOS Image in GNS3:

IOS XR is a train of Cisco Systems' widely deployed Inter-networking Operating System (IOS), used on their high-end carrier-grade routers such as the CRS series, 12000 series, and ASR9000 series.

In this article I will show you how to configure or use Cisco XR IOS Image in GNS3. This guide will help you the step by step processor for configuring Cisco XR IOS image in GNS3. So following are the steps:

1. Download Cisco XR IOS image, I have download it from this link: https://upload.cisco.com/cgi-bin/swc/fileexg/main.cgi?CONTYPES=Cisco-IOS-XRv . I have downloaded the “xrvr-fullk9-4.3.2.vmdk” for this lab.

2. In second step you need to create a virtual machine from this download file. I have created a virtual Machine using Virtual-Box. Open your Virtual Box and click on new for creating a new VM for Cisco XR image. A wizard with start, in first step you are required to enter the name of Virtual Machine.

3. In next step you are required to allocate the RAM for your Cisco XR VM. It is recommended to allocate at least 1.55 GB RAM.

4. In next step you need to select the virtual hard disk for you VM. Choose the options “use an existing virtual hard disk” and browse the cisco XR image that you have download in first step. Click on create this will create a new VM in VM list.

5. Now open the GNS3 and go to edit/preferences and from virtual machines menu click on new. This will start a new wizard select VM that you have created in Virtual-box and click on finish.

6. After this you will find Cisco-XR image in GNS3 device list. Drag this image to GNS3 dashboard.

7. Start the XR IOS, once it is started, right click on device and click on Console.

8. Cisco XR image will take some time while loading. During loading it will also give you the message “this (d)rp node is not ready or active for login /configuration” you can ignore this message for a while after some time it will ask you to set username and password. First set the username, in my case I have set it with “root” you can use any other. Then it ask for password type the password it will reconfirm from you.

9. Once you have set username and password for Cisco XR IOS image in GNS3, it will take back you to login screen. Now login with username and password that you have set in step#8.

10. Now you are in Privileged mode, type the configure terminal for global configuration mode. Now you can configure your router as per your choice.

How to configure IPV4 on Cisco XR IOS:

Configuring IP address on Cisco XR is a bit different as compare to other IOS. Go to global configuration mode and use the following commands for assigning IPV4 address to cisco XR image.
config t
interface mgmtEth0/0/cpu0/0
ipv4 address 192.168.86.200 255.255.255.0
No shut

How to enable SSH on router Switch on GNS3 | Configuring Secure Shell Cisco

CLI configuration of SSH on Cisco Router/Switch

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol like telnet which provides you a secure remote connection to network devices. Telnet communication is in clear text and a hacker can capture your login information and other contents using a packet sniffer. Whereas SSH creates an encrypted communications tunnel between you and the router. There are two types of SSH i.e.

SSh version 1
SSH version 2

Now a day’s everyone is using version 2 because it is more secure and have better encryption algorithm.

In this GNS3 lab I will show you that how you can configure your router or switch for SSH access, you need a k9(crypto) IOS image for SSH configuration. I have used 3725 IOS you can download it from this link: k9(crypto) Cisco IOS image

Lab Objective/Task:

1. Configure SSH communication on L3_Switch.

The topology is simple and our task is to configure SSH on L3_switch, we need the following steps on L3_Switch for accomplish this:

Configure the hostname:

Router#Enable

Router#config t

Router#(config)hostname L3_Switch

Telnet does required only the password where as SSH uses both username and password. Therefore we need to create a user for SSH.

L3_Switch#(config) aaa new-model

L3_Switch#(config) username admin secret 5 cisco (“secret” uses the MD5 hash in running config, where 5 Specifies a HIDDEN secret will follow and Cisco is the hidden password)

Configure the DNS domain:

L3_Switch#(config)ip domain name cisco.com

Enable SSH:

L3_Switch#(config) crypto key generate rsa

How many bits in the modulus [512]:

(If you can want to enable 512 bits encryption then press enter otherwise you can type the other values like 1024 etc.)

L3_Switch#(config)#ip ssh version 2

L3_Switch# (config)#line vty 0 4

L3_Switch# transport input SSH

L3_Switch# (config-line)#login local

Testing:

You can test SSH configuration from R2 by accessing L3_switch by SSH with following command:

ssh -l admin 192.168.72.100
