VNUML and Dynamips/Dynagen mixed scenario

Scenario

This example will emulate the network scenario shown in the figure, where the hosts are emulated using VNUML virtual machines and the routers are CISCOs emulated using dynamips.

To create the scenario, you first have to download the vnuml and dynagen scenarios specifications (provided below) to a directory. Remember to modify "idlepc" values in the dynagen specification to adapt it to your optimum values.

Later, you can start the scenario by following this steps:

  • Start VNUML scenario (hosts) with:
 vnumlparser.pl -t dynavnuml.xml -v -u root
  • If not already running, start dynamips daemon:
 dynamips -H 7200&
  • Start Dynagen scenario (routers) with:
 dynagen dynavnuml.net
  • Once started, open router consoles with:
 => console /all
  • Enable router tap interfaces (they are automatically created by dynagen but not enabled):
 ifconfig r1-e00 up
 ifconfig r1-e01 up
 ifconfig r1-e02 up
 ifconfig r2-e00 up
 ifconfig r2-e01 up
  • Connect router interfaces with virtual bridges:
 brctl addif Net0 r1-e00
 brctl addif Net1 r1-e01
 brctl addif Net2 r1-e02
 brctl addif Net2 r2-e00
 brctl addif Net3 r2-e01
  • Configure the routers, loading the configurations shown below. To do that, you have to:
 enable
 conf t
    ...paste router config commands
 exit
 exit
 write

After the write is executed, the configuration is saved, so next time the route starts it will load that configuration.

The scenario is ready for testing. For example, you can login to H1 and test the connectivity with H4:

H1:~# ping 10.1.3.10
PING 10.1.3.10 (10.1.3.10) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 10.1.3.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=62 time=35.1 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.3.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=62 time=46.2 ms
64 bytes from 10.1.3.10: icmp_seq=3 ttl=62 time=70.0 ms

--- 10.1.3.10 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2034ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 35.128/50.461/70.020/14.556 ms

Additional tips

  • You can save router configurations to a file by means of the command:
 export /all /root/vnuml/tests/vnuml-dynamips/config
  • Besides, you can save configurations as base64 encoded blobs in your network file This allows the distribution of router configurations together with network topology in the .net file. To do it, just execute the command:
 save /all /root/vnuml/tests/vnuml-dynamips/config
