Re: [OSL | CCIE_RS] GNS3 on Windows 7

[LUCHO ORTEGA]

From what I understand Cisco CCIE Labs are moving to PuTTY so you may simplify your life using this console program. I moved from SecureCRT to PuTTY.

This is what I used to have as my console command:

securecrt /telnet %h %p

Plain and simple, and it worked quite well.

HTH.

BTW, I am a heavy Linux user but I have found that Windows does a fairly good job with GNS3. ;-) Just beware of 32bit virtual memory barriers. And also get heavy duty processors (64bit multi-core) or learn how to run hyper-visors in several computers simultaneously..

Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] GNS3 on Windows 7

Hi Joe,

I read the blog on how to optimize GNS3 on W7 and would request some help on one thing.

In the "Preferences" section under "General" I modified the "Terminal Command" to read as follows:

c:\Program Files\VanDyke Software\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE /script c:\IPEXPERT\IPEXPERT\supporting files\securecrt.vbs /arg %d /T /telnet 127.0.0.1 %p & sleep 1

Now, the issue is that with the /telnet option when I try to launch console I get the message "Invalid command line option /telnet".

I then removed the /telnet option and this time securecrt launches but then I get the message "Hostname lookup failed: host not found".

Can you let me know what I'm missing out here. I modified the net file that I downloaded from the blog itself so I've configured the parameters as per the recommendations of the blog. I only need to get securecrt working.

Cheers,

Vikas.
