Henry's Points

Today is very meaningful to me. I have been Canadian Citizenship from now on. Although there are only 33 million people lived in here, I will be free as bird to be a citizenship.

Also, I decided to start to pursue to be a network expert. This blog will be my notes for every knowledge point.

The following will be my first one.

To prepare lab, we need Cisco simulators. All CCIEs around me, (I mean, truly, they are sitting around me), recommend dynamips. You can get some detailed information from dynagen. You can start your router simulators separately in one local machine, or, you can use dynagen to have central management from CLI interface. I prefer start router separately. The command is to start a brand new router (Cisco 3660) with NM-4T module. You also need to setup –idle-pc value if you don’t want to use the whole CPU. You can bind fa0/0 and fa0/1 to your physical interface. Then, just enjoy your trip.

dynamips -P 3600 -i 2 -X -r 256 ./3660.image -t 3660 –idle-pc=0×60680cb0 -s 0:0:linux_eth:eth3 -s 0:1:linux_eth:eth0 -p 1:NM-4T
