Configuring Exos Virtual Box

[Manish_S]

Hi,

I am trying to setup my lab environment, with virtual box 4.3.26. I have uploaded the virtual box extension pacl. I have downloaded the EXOS VM, but when ever I try to import the VM the machine is not being listed in the folder specified.

This is the very first time I am using Virtual Box. Might be some dumb issue.

Had been couple of days that I have googled the issue, but couldn't resolve. Pls. help.

Regards,
Manish

Manish,

I've shared this document in other posts but here it goes again. It's a quick and dirty How-To manual detailing installation and interconnection of VMs in VB.

@ Tavares Belmont :

Have you tried connecting multiple EXOS machines together. My machines have started but I am not able to inter-connect them on GNS3. Earlier I was not able to ping the self IP but post referring to a post-reply by Daniel I started getting replies for self IP. Throwing some light on how to get the devices inter-connected on GNS3 or Oracle VB would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Daniel,

I happen to come across another post of yours in which you have explained about interface.

I gave the loopback interface enable command and was able to ping the the self interface on the EXOS machine. If I can create the lab without importing the machine to GNS3, I am fine with it as well. As i read your post I understand that you create labs in VB. I assume that you might use multiple devices to create a virtual lab. Can you pls. share some documents which would explain how to use VB to connect multiple devices together instead of importing it to GNS 3 (even this would help)

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.

@ Tavares Belmont :
Pls. find the PSR attached along, showing the file that got downloaded from https://xkit.extremenetworks.com/app/v/extremexosvm. I tried downloading it twice had the same file size, though till now I didn't check the md5. As I mentioned googled it, followed the procedure but failed to import as nothing was being detected.

@ Kawawa :
I downloaded the file from the link, I compressed the entire file as well as tried just compressing the VM, but post that couldn't find the .vdi file. I tried specifying the .vdi extention, but did't find any such file in the directory.

@ Daniel Flouret :
Many thanks. The link that you shared was very usefull. I am able to create the machine in VB now. I imported it to GNS3 as well. I tried linking it with VB option in GNS3, connected it to a Cisco IOS machine, but after giving the IP not able to ping each other. I read in an article, it has to be imported as QEMU. Is it so?? Also the I started the VM today and it shows its a trial for 30 days. So what happens after 30 days can I use the same after it gets expired doing a fresh installation.

Waiting in anticipation.
