Unable to connect 2 ExtremeOS VM on GNS3 - VLAN

Grego_Martínez_ — Wed, 23 Mar 2016 16:19:00 GMT

Hi all,

We are trying to set up a lab on GNS3 in order to test some features from our network. The problem begins when I can't ping another EX from a tagged vlan.

To describe te scenario lightly, we have 6 EXOS using GNS3 and VirtualBox, and the problem is that EXOS doesn't seem to understand the BPDUs tagged.
It actually works if we don't tag them, but when we use the VLAN, we have no ping at all.

My question is, can we configure an scenario with VLANs and LACP over GNS3 and VirtualBox?? I guess so, but we can't set it up...

If you need to know the config on the VM do not hesitate to ask for it!

Cheers,
Gregorio.

Hi, I'm not familiar with GNS3 but with a VM controller and the setup to support tagged VLANs.

Might be that this will help...

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the fast replay. I've been reading the info you posted and is not likely what we are looking for...

Hi again Ron,

Do you know if we can set up some aggregated links ons vSphere?? We are not sure about it.
If so, how can you do it??

Thanks again!
