vIST (VOSS) on GNS3

[Yansof]

Hi Guys,

just a quick and simple question :

do you know whether vIST is supported on virtual Lab unders GNS3 ?

I’am trying to setup a Fabric Connect in my lab with GNS3 and I’am stuck on vIST

I know that with 8.1.5, only control plan (is-is, ist, mlt...) is implemented and supported

The data plan should le be included in up-coming image (hope so).

any news regarding new firmware VOSS that supports Data Plan ?

thanks

Yansof,

I’m starting my GNS3 project.

Could you share your config I’ll compare it with mine.

Hi Miguel,

thanks again for your follow-up !

 i didn’t miss those cmds, i just forgot to type them here  …

there is no incoming tcp connection when issuing #show ip tcp connection

no peer shows up when issuing show virtual-list..

please tell me what you would like met to share with you ?

i also reproduce the same setup on a new VOSS appliance recently released (8.2), yet the result is the same…

the only positive thing with the new VOSS appliance is that now a ping between 2 peers works ! so the data plane is now implemented even if it wan’t yet confirmed in the channel.

Yansof,

You are probably missing this command:

virtual-ist  peer-ip W.X.Y.Z vlan ABCD

where W.X.Y.Z is the ip of the peer and ABCD is the VLANID of the vIST.

You can check it with 

show run | inc peer

Hi Miguel,

i have no dout on the fact that it is functional but it dosen’t work on my gns3 lab hence my question.

concretely when a try to enable isis router, i have this error msg

BEB-01:1(config)#router isis enable

Error: Virtual IST requires both SPBM SMLT peer system-id & Virtual IST peer-ip to be configured.
 

yet, peer sys id and vIST peer id are configured as shown here :

### BEB-01

router isis
spbm 100
spbm 100 nick-name 0.00.21
spbm 100 b-vid 4051-4052 primary 4051
spbm 100 smlt-virtual-bmac 00:61:00:00:21:ff
spbm 100 smlt-peer-system-id 0061.0000.2200
 

router isis

is-type l1

### BEB-02
