ExOS VM and GNS3

welisson — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 02:01:00 GMT

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to set up a lab at the GNS3, so, i'm being able to configure the ExtremoXOS VM under GNS3, but when i set up a vpls between them, and connect a PC or any router under GNS3, i can't ping the host in other side. The questions is. Is it possible to integrate others device and make them speaking over vpls using GNS3?

P.S: When i configured only vlan tagged i can ping the PC's, when i start up the vpls and then is up, i can ping the host.

welisson,

Could you post the following configuration and show outputs so I can get a better idea of your configuration:

show configuration ospf #or routing protocol in use
show configuration mpls
show configuration vlan show mpls ldp peer
show mpls rsvp-te neighbor
show mpls label
show l2vpn detail

Welisson what current code is running on the emulators I believe there is 2 versions out there one running 15.3 code i think and the other an older version of code, there is limited functionality you will get out of those VM....

RE: ExOS VM and GNS3

dflouret — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 04:01:00 GMT

Welisson,

EXOS-VM does not support VPLS.

That functionality requires hardware support and is not implemented in the VM...

Hi Daniel Flouret,

So, this case i can set up the vpls and configured ip under vlan over vpls, in this case i was able ping each side, but when i put one host in both side, i can't ping each other, i'm able ping just next-hop, in case will be my PE.

sh vpls vpls_cliente2

in this log i can see the vpls up in both side.

Chad_Smith1 — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 04:01:00 GMT

welisson,

Notice the "PW Rx Pkts" "PW Tx Pkts" fields in the "show l2vpn detail" output. If the pseudo wire was fully up and operational, data would be exchanged and "n/a" would be replaced with a number.

Daniel is correct. The L2VPN pseudo wire is implemented in hardware and this functionality is not available in the EXOS VM.

You can configure MPLS, LDP (or RSVP-TE), and even setup the L2VPN service, but actual traffic will not pass across the VPN due to the lack of hardware support.

RE: ExOS VM and GNS3

welisson — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 04:01:00 GMT

Now is clear to me.

Therefore, if i need test the vpls with traffic pass across the cloud mpls, i need to buy a switch once it there is this feature based in hardware.

Chad Is there any possibility this be implemented in EXOS VM as way lab?

Tks
Welisson

Chad_Smith1 — Sat, 06 Jun 2015 04:01:00 GMT

Unfortunately, there are currently no plans to implement this in EXOS VM
