Hey guys, I am looking for simulation software for the subject router. I wish to test an IOS file on a virtual router before making a purchase. Is there such a thing as that? Kind of like a VM equivalent of a router? On google, all I see is Boson and such things... Cisco Cert. Labs etc, which I think are not fully-fledged simulators. Kindly help. Thanks. Me. -- שִׁמְעוֹן

Hey Simon, this info maybe outdated as have not used a cisco in years, try Cisco Config Maker. Though I never used the IOS stuff on it, it may have the facility with the IOS version. Its a long shot.... :-)

Hi Sir, You ought to note that Dynagen GNS3 only supports the following "As of Dynamips 0.2.8-RC1 and Dynagen 0.10.0 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700, and 7200 routers are emulated." But you could try if you have an 1841 image no guarantees though. The other option is to give more details on what you are trying to achieve on the 1841 - if you want to do the Voice modules i think the 1700 can also do that. You will however be limited to the kind of modules you can add on Dynagen/GNS3 as well. So see its feature lists. Regards, Michuki. aki wrote:

Do you have anything specific that you are trying on an 1841 that is not available in packet tracer?

But you could try if you have an 1841 image no guarantees though.
The other option is to give more details on what you are trying to achieve on the 1841 - if you want to do the Voice modules i think the 1700 can also do that.
You will however be limited to the kind of modules you can add on Dynagen/GNS3 as well. So see its feature lists.

hi
Hehehe ... for an 1841 router - packet tracer is more than enough. If you have all the time/resources to download the IOS then go for GNS3. Do you have anything specific that you are trying on an 1841 that is not available in packet tracer?

For my BSCI I used packet tracer until I reached BGP and Redistribution (used GNS3) If you were talking about anything above 3500 series - then use GNS3.

Yes, it has limitations (like any other software in the world). Well, you load .bin files in dynamips/GNS. ptracer has pre-configured images. In my opinion, "loading IOS bin files to configuring them" amounts to 1% of the simulator's functions. With packet tracer; you can load a cisco 1841, reload it, cold boot the router, Go shopping to San Francisco and buy an E1 WIC card, remove the faulty card and fix a new one, redistribute your eigrp/ospf routers to another simulator in a different machine ... Simon, this toy needs a real boy. regards, frank On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 11:02 AM, Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com>wrote:

Got me wrong. I said decompressing the image is 1 of many parts that any simulator can do - be it Dynamips, packet tracer, Boson name them. By the way I use GNS3 with Dynamips server as well, I like it and it simulates a 7200 series very well. What I am saying is - GNS3 is perfect for a high end configurations e.g. preparing for a CCIE written/lab. Packet tracer on the other hand is a competent tool, very interactive and good for newbies on static/dynamic routes, packet tracer is competent but it might not simulate mpls/gbp.

Hehehe... looks like you are an animal right activist, Francis. you really want me to use your toy gun on my rat. I need a bazooka coz I want to load a K9 advanced security image. I realize that dynamips doesn't support 1800 series, so I obtained an IOS image for a 2691 and a 2600, which I want to try. Anyway, thanks guys for your input. I appreciate it. Me. 2009/10/29 francis kamau <kfransys@gmail.com>
Yes, it has limitations (like any other software in the world). Well, you load .bin files in dynamips/GNS. ptracer has pre-configured images. In my opinion, "loading IOS bin files to configuring them" amounts to 1% of the simulator's functions.
With packet tracer; you can load a cisco 1841, reload it, cold boot the router, Go shopping to San Francisco and buy an E1 WIC card, remove the faulty card and fix a new one, redistribute your eigrp/ospf routers to another simulator in a different machine ... Simon, this toy needs a real boy.

After all you wanted to simulate a simple IPsec VPN tunell?

Get serious man! we are busy talking about mpls/bgp ... then you drop such a line?
call me whatever activist you call me. but look at this "cisco 1841 with seck9 capability" extract from packet tracer
== Router#sho crypto ? ipsec Show IPSEC policy isakmp Show ISAKMP key Show long term public keys map Crypto maps Router#sho crypto % Incomplete command. Router# ==
does this look like calculus to you?
I beg your pardon.. was that directed at me? If so, then forgive me but I don't remember talking about IPSec and VPN tunnel... I was talking about loading IOS images into a simulated router. And the activist bit.. I think you took it a little too seriously... it was in line with that rat joke. Anyway, sorry for stirring your anger/strong reaction, but I think I thanked all for their input and settled for GNS3. But that doesn't mean Packet Tracer is bad, in fact, I believe it's very good. So I hope we are all a happy lot now. Enjoy your lunch :)

Yes, it has limitations (like any other software in the world). Well, you load .bin files in dynamips/GNS. ptracer has pre-configured images. In my opinion, "loading IOS bin files to configuring them" amounts to 1% of the simulator's functions.
With packet tracer; you can load a cisco 1841, reload it, cold boot the router, Go shopping to San Francisco and buy an E1 WIC card, remove the faulty card and fix a new one, redistribute your eigrp/ospf routers to another simulator in a different machine ... Simon, this toy needs a real boy.

No, once you install your paket tracer you are good to go. This is an example of self decompressing image on an cisco1841. If you knew what seck9 means in C1841-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M image, by now you should repent and let me baptize you in the name of "confi t"...

Ok Guys, I have read this thread like I was witnessing a defense case on a humorous kenyan court. @Simon if you have time use either and walk the talk yourself now that you have received the information. I really like the thread now that I know there a quite a few guys who know their networks well here, at some time I thot his forum is full of developers we should now really contributed. I got my own mind bogging issues but I shall start a new thread on it later. Best luck Simon, hope to hear ur view soon.

I beg your pardon.. was that directed at me? If so, then forgive me but I don't remember talking about IPSec and VPN tunnel... I was talking about loading IOS images into a simulated router. And the activist bit.. I think you took it a little too seriously... it was in line with that rat joke. Anyway, sorry for stirring your anger/strong reaction, but I think I thanked all for their input and settled for GNS3. But that doesn't mean Packet Tracer is bad, in fact, I believe it's very good. So I hope we are all a happy lot now.

Yes, it has limitations (like any other software in the world). Well, you load .bin files in dynamips/GNS. ptracer has pre-configured images. In my opinion, "loading IOS bin files to configuring them" amounts to 1% of the simulator's functions.
With packet tracer; you can load a cisco 1841, reload it, cold boot the router, Go shopping to San Francisco and buy an E1 WIC card, remove the faulty card and fix a new one, redistribute your eigrp/ospf routers to another simulator in a different machine ... Simon, this toy needs a real boy.

No, once you install your paket tracer you are good to go. This is an example of self decompressing image on an cisco1841. If you knew what seck9 means in C1841-ADVIPSERVICESK9-M image, by now you should repent and let me baptize you in the name of "confi t"...

Ok Guys,
I have read this thread like I was witnessing a defense case on a humorous kenyan court. @Simon if you have time use either and walk the talk yourself now that you have received the information.
I really like the thread now that I know there a quite a few guys who know their networks well here, at some time I thot his forum is full of developers we should now really contributed. I got my own mind bogging issues but I shall start a new thread on it later.
Best luck Simon, hope to hear ur view soon.

call me whatever activist you call me. but look at this "cisco 1841 with seck9 capability" extract from packet tracer

does this look like calculus to you?
I beg your pardon.. was that directed at me? If so, then forgive me but I don't remember talking about IPSec and VPN tunnel... I was talking about loading IOS images into a simulated router. And the activist bit.. I think you took it a little too seriously... it was in line with that rat joke. Anyway, sorry for stirring your anger/strong reaction, but I think I thanked all for their input and settled for GNS3. But that doesn't mean Packet Tracer is bad, in fact, I believe it's very good. So I hope we are all a happy lot now.
Enjoy your lunch :)

Hehehe... looks like you are an animal right activist, Francis. you really want me to use your toy gun on my rat. I need a bazooka coz I want to load a K9 advanced security image. I realize that dynamips doesn't support 1800 series, so I obtained an IOS image for a 2691 and a 2600, which I want to try.
Anyway, thanks guys for your input. I appreciate it.
Me.

Yes, it has limitations (like any other software in the world). Well, you load .bin files in dynamips/GNS. ptracer has pre-configured images. In my opinion, "loading IOS bin files to configuring them" amounts to 1% of the simulator's functions.
With packet tracer; you can load a cisco 1841, reload it, cold boot the router, Go shopping to San Francisco and buy an E1 WIC card, remove the faulty card and fix a new one, redistribute your eigrp/ospf routers to another simulator in a different machine ... Simon, this toy needs a real boy.

Ok Guys,
I have read this thread like I was witnessing a defense case on a humorous kenyan court. @Simon if you have time use either and walk the talk yourself now that you have received the information.
I really like the thread now that I know there a quite a few guys who know their networks well here, at some time I thot his forum is full of developers we should now really contributed. I got my own mind bogging issues but I shall start a new thread on it later.
Best luck Simon, hope to hear ur view soon.

does this look like calculus to you?
I beg your pardon.. was that directed at me? If so, then forgive me but I don't remember talking about IPSec and VPN tunnel... I was talking about loading IOS images into a simulated router. And the activist bit.. I think you took it a little too seriously... it was in line with that rat joke. Anyway, sorry for stirring your anger/strong reaction, but I think I thanked all for their input and settled for GNS3. But that doesn't mean Packet Tracer is bad, in fact, I believe it's very good. So I hope we are all a happy lot now.
Enjoy your lunch :)

Anyway, thanks guys for your input. I appreciate it.

Hi Sir,
You ought to note that Dynagen GNS3 only supports the following
"As of Dynamips 0.2.8-RC1 and Dynagen 0.10.0 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700, and 7200 routers are emulated."
But you could try if you have an 1841 image no guarantees though.
The other option is to give more details on what you are trying to achieve on the 1841 - if you want to do the Voice modules i think the 1700 can also do that.
You will however be limited to the kind of modules you can add on Dynagen/GNS3 as well. So see its feature lists.
Regards,
Michuki.

I am looking for simulation software for the subject router. I wish to test an IOS file on a virtual router before making a purchase. Is there such a thing as that? Kind of like a VM equivalent of a router? On google, all I see is Boson and such things... Cisco Cert. Labs etc, which I think are not fully-fledged simulators.
Kindly help. Thanks.
Me.
Hey Simon, this info maybe outdated as have not used a cisco in years, try Cisco Config Maker. Though I never used the IOS stuff on it, it may have the facility with the IOS version.
Its a long shot.... :-)

Try GNS3. You will need the IOS separately. -----Original Message----- From: Simon Mbuthia <simon.mbuthia@gmail.com> Reply-to: Skunkworks Forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> To: Skunkworks forum <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Subject: [Skunkworks] Cisco 1841 Router Simulator Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:31:03 +0300 Hey guys, I am looking for simulation software for the subject router.
