I have found a solution , but needed to know how can this be done thru routing on my machine..
i have resolved it by connecting VMNET3 directly to GNS3 and not via my PC. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of kamran shakil Sent: Sat 12/25/2010 8:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_Security] Important ! " LAB in GNS3 to ACS in VM - nothappening " I want my scenario as follows : GNS3 ------------> MY PC(Physical machine) ------------> VM (Windows 2000) GNS3 <----------- MY PC (Phyical machine) <----------- VM (Windows 2000) i have windows 7 machine. i am able to connect my pc to gns3 as cloud c0 and didn some labs . now i want to do some ACS authentication and authorization labs. Since ACS 4.2 cannot install on windows 7 , i did a vm of windows 2000 and installed ACS in that windows 2000. So i have following stuff with me : 1> GNS3 connected to my physical PC. (working fine ) 2> Windows 2000 w/t Cisco ACS 4.2 on a virtual machine residing on my physical PC (working fine ) I have connectivity from my physical PC to GNS3 via MS loopback ! And , i have connectivity from my Physical PC to my Virtual Machine thru VMNET3 Host adaptor settings. PROBLEM : " I am unable to ping or trace packets from my GNS 3 routers to my virtual machine and vice versa" Notes: i have defined static routes from my VM pointing to GNS 3 Network via my physical lancard IP as next hop and also the same is done on GNS3 router to get packets back to VM thru physical machine. the subnet connecting my physical PC to GNS3 is 9.0.0.x/24 where 9.0.0.1 is router in GNS3 and 9.0.0.9 is my MS Loopback adaptor . the subnet connecting my physical PC to VM(Windows 2000 with ACS 4.2) is 192.168.12.x/24 , where 192.168.12.1 is my VMNET 3 adaptor IP and 192.168.12.10 is my VM Machine Lancard IP. All kind of guidance and h3lp is appreciated .....!!! thanks KAMRAN. _______________________________________________ For more information regarding industry leading CCIE Lab training, please visit www.ipexpert.com
