Run / configure Juniper router Image with GNS3 1.1 junOS with VortualBox

How to use juniper Router on GNS3 1.1 using VirtualBox:

This article is about the installation and configuration of juniper router on gns3 1.1. There are some ways for using Juniper router on GNS3, here i will discus one of them i.e. using VM junOS on GNS3.  

In this method we used a virtual machine of JunOS Olive (Juniper Image) for gns3 simulation. You need the following software for this:

1. juniper image= JunOS Olive image VM (.ova file) which you can download from this link. 
2. Pre Installed Gns3 
3. Pre Installed Oracle VM VirtualBox (You can download it free from internet)
   

Once you have downloaded  JunOS Olive image from given link and after the installation of Oracle VM VirtualBox, you need to create a virtual machine using this .ova file in your virtual box and then you can use that VM in GNS3 for simulating juniper router. You can install

1. Simply double click on this  .ova file that you have downloaded from above link or open this file using virtual-box and then click on import. You can change default setting before importing, for example you can change the RAM, VM name, Network adapter etc

If you want to simulate more than one router in GNS3 then you need to create more than one copies of this JunOS VM instance or clone. For creating clone right click on  already created VM and then click on clone.

Then type the name for new clone or VM and select the checkbox "reinitialize the MAC address of all network cards"

In this way you can create multiple clone and can use multiple juniper router on gns3.

2. Now launch Gns3 and open the Edit\preferences, goto virtualbox setting and create a new VM on gns3 by clicking on New. select the junOS VM from menu that we have created in step-1 and click on finish and then on OK.

For using multiple juniper router you need to create multiple router VM  in gns3 using above method. For simulating three juniper router you need three VirtualBox VMs in Gns3. 

3. This juniper router VM will appear in end device menu of gns3.

You can set number of interfaces for this JunOS VM, for this drag VM on gns3 dashboard and then right click on it, click on configure and from network tab set the number of adapters or choose the interface type.

Now start the VM by right click on device and then on start, for configuration right click on it and then console. If you have any issue with the console then you can use the virtualBox console. User name is root for this junOS VM.

You can also change it PC symbol to router from change symbol.

ICND2 VTP GNS3 Configuration LAB

How to configure Vlan Trunking Protocol on Gns3

Question

This GNS3 lab is related to VLAN Trunk Protocol, in which you have two switches Switch-1 and Switch-2 and you need to configure the Switch-2 according to following requirement:

1. Determine and configure the gateway and last IP address on vlan-interface from subnet 192.168.33.32\27
2. Find and configure the same VTP domain on switch-2 as on Switch-1. (Switch-1 has the domain “City-Campus”)
3. Configure Switch-2 as VTP Client

Solution: how to configure this Lab:

You can configure this on GNS3 very easily, according to question Router and Switch-1 are already configured. You can complete this lab by creating the above topology in GNS3 and then you can download router and switch-1configurations from here, paste them on router and switch-1 respectively and complete it with following configurations:

GNS3 version: 0.8

Switch IOS: C3725-AD.BIN download from here

Determine and configure the gateway and last IP address from subnet 192.168.33.32\27:

For finding the gateway and vlan IP address on Switch-1 you can use the command “show run”

Switch-1#show running-config

From above out-put you can see that vlan-subnet on switch-1 is 192.168.33.50\27 and from subnetting you can find the valid IP addresses for this subnet:

Subnetting for Class C address
Bit# in 4th octet	25	26	27	28	29	30	31	32
IP ranges/ increment	128	64	32	16	8	4	2	1

From above table we have the following details:

Subnet ID= 192.168.33.32

Broadcast Address=192.168.33.63

Valid IPs= 192.168.33.33 to 192.168.33.62

So we have 192.168.33.62 the last IP address for given subnet.

Switch-2#config t

Switch-2(config)#int Vlan1
Switch-2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.22.62 255.255.255.224
Switch-2(config-if)#no shut

Switch-2(config-if)#exit
Switch-2(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.22.35

Find and configure the same VTP domain on switch-2

For VTP domain of switch-1, you can use the “show vtp status” command on Switch-1.

switch-1# show vtp status

We have find that VTP-domain of switch-1 is “City-Campus”. For configuring the same domain you can use the following commands:

Switch-2#config t

Switch-2(config)#vtp domain City-Campus

Configure Switch-2 as VTP Client

You can set Switch02 as VTP client by using command: “vtp mode client” or "vtp client"

Real Switch Configurations	if you are configuring it on GNS3
Switch-2#config t Switch-2(config)#vtp mode client Switch-2(config)#vtp domain City-Campu	Switch2#vlan database Switch2(vlan)#vtp client Switch2(vlan)#vtp domain City-Campus

How to Test or Confirm lab configurations on GNs3:

Create some vlan on switch1, if your configurations are complete then it will automatically create that vlan on Switch2 as well. (Switch2 is VTP client therefore it will sync its vlan database from switch1 which is VTP server)

Switch1#vlan database

Switch1(vlan)#vlan 11

After creating vlan 11 on switch1, Show vlan-switch on switch2 should have following configurations:

If you have some issue with your lab then you can download Switch2 configuration from here and can compare with your for troubleshooting.

CCNA Nat Sim Exam lab on GNS3 | ICND2 Lab

CCNA Nat Sim Exam lab on GNS3 | ICND2 Lab 

Question

Your company has 14 PCs those need to access the internet simultaneously. All the computers in the local area network are using the private IP addresses from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.14.

• Configure serial s0/0 as NAT outside
• Configure serial f0/0 as NAT inside
• You need to configure NAT (network address translation) on PE-router with 4 public IP addresses from 192.168.1.107 to 192.168.1.110 so that all the hosts can use internet at the same time.

Note: Since we are creating this lab on GNS3 therefore we are using private IP addresses i.e. 192.168.1.X for NAT translation instead of real Public IPs. Please keep in mind that in real scenario you must use Public IP addresses. 

For configuring this lab on GNS3 1.1 i have used the following devices:

Router: 
IOS: c7200-jk9s-mz.124-13b.image
Router full configuration: PE-Router configuration

Cloud:

I have used cloud for internet connectivity with my laptop Ethernet interface, i also recommend you to use physical local area connection of your PC with gns3-cloud instead of wifi-adapter, you learn how to use cloud in GNS3 from here.

VPCS (Virtual-Host):

IP adress=192.168.2.1
Gatway= 192.168.2.2
You can learn how to configure IP address and Gateway of VPCS on gns3 from here.

Solution:

1.Configure serial f0/0 as NAT inside 

Router>enable 
Router#config t

Router(config)#hostname PE-router

PE-router(config)#interface fa0/0 

PE-router(config-if)#ip nat inside 
PE-router(config-if)#exit 

2.Configure serial s0/0 as NAT outside

PE-router(config)#interface s0/0 
PE-router(config-if)#ip nat outside 
PE-router(config-if)#end

3.Configure NAT ON Router:

In second step you need to configure pool of Public IP addresses, you can do it by using following commands:

PE-router(config)# ip nat pool LIVEIP-POOL 192.168.1.107 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.248

Now create an access-list for private IP addresses and permit all hosts.

PE-router(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.15

Now apply this access-list with NAT, following command will pick up IP address from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.14 and with map it to LIVEIP-POOL (200.200.200.105 to 200.200.200.110)

“Overload” keyword allows to map multiple IP addresses to a single registered IP address by using different ports.

PE-router(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 pool LIVEIP-POOL overload

Save all configurations;

PE-router#copy run start

Testing:

 Ping 192.168.1.1 or some internet address like 4.2.2.2 and then see the nat translations using "show ip nat translations"

PE-router# show ip nat tran

Configure VPCS IP address and Gateway on GNS3 1.1

How to use VPCS in GNS3 and how to configure IP address and Gateway for it:

VPCS is virtual PC simulator that is now included in GNS3 devices. You can use it for testing purposes on GNS3, you can ping, traceroute etc with VPCs on GNS3.

VPCs is already included in GNS3 1.1 and some earlier versions and also you don't need to perform any additional setting for it. In following figure you can find the default settings of VPCs on GNS3 1.1, which normally works great..!

how to simulate PC with VPCs on Gns3:

Drag the VPCS from end-device on Gns3 dashboard, right click on it and then on start.

It will boot in few seconds. For configuring IP address and gateway right click on VPCS and then on console.  You can use the following command for configuring IP address and gateway for this virtual PC.

IP <address> [/<mask>] [<gateway>]

For example if you want to assign IP address "192.168.2.1" with subnet-mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway "192.168.2.2" you will use the following command:

PC1> ip 192.168.2.1 /24 192.168.2.2

For connectivity test you can use ping command

Following are some other ways of simulation of Host or PC with GNS3

• Qemu Host 
• VPCS
• VirtualBoxVirtual Machine
