Dynamips is a very processor intensive application and each device running within Dynamips will need an IDLE PC value that can be applied to the device so the application can reduce the physical processor load.

This will present you with console access to R1 in the topology.Īfter making sure that the router has booted up into user mode if prompted you can type “n” to skip the Initial Configuration Dialog and wait till you receive the prompt Router>Īfter you’ve received the user mode prompt you’ll need to wait about 10 seconds till the router is idling then you’ll need to configure the router with its own IDLE PC value. Once you’ve started this device, you can right click the device again and click Console to bring up the Putty terminal emulation window. After GNS3 loads and the topology is imported, you can then start R1 by right clicking on R1 and clicking start on the context menu. Load the GNS3 topology by double clicking on the file, GNS3 should load automatically and import the topology. After you’ve downloaded the Free CCNA Workbook GNS3 topology file, extract it to your desktop or a folder that you store files to. Interested?
