Cisco :: Multicast Lab In Gns3 With A Tap Interface?
Feb 20, 2013
I am trying to do a Multicast lab in gns3 with a tap interface in os x and a linux vm in virtualbox. The os x box is broadcasting to 224.1.1.1. I have verified IP connectivity. I am using PIM dense mode. When I perform a packet capture on the tap interface I see no traffic to 224.1.1.1. However when I ping 224.1.1.1 from os x I see the traffic. Attached is my topology
C1921, running version 15.1(4)M2, with licence for "IP base" feature set only.Trying to pass multicast via a PPTP VPN from a Windows XP machine to work around a non multicast-aware WAN link
1. With the IP Base feature set I am able to create a plain PPTP VPN without any encryption; the Windows XP machine can bring it up and unicast data passes through it OK in both directions.
2. But when trying to send multicast, only one-way traffic is observed:i. Windows XP host on far end of PPTP VPN and a local PC both running old Microsoft tool "MPING.EXE", sending and listening for traffic on the groiup 225.100.101.102i. The distant host receives and echoes back the packets received from the local machine + sending its own (confirmed with Wireshark running at the far end)ii. But the local machine directly connected to the C1921 router does not hear any packets from the far end; Wireshark shows only the ones it is sending.
3. Group status ("show ip igmp membership") as far as the C1921 is concerned shows both ends (192.168.50.10 (local end) and 192.168.50.201 (distant end via the PPTP VPN)) joined to the group [code]
4. But "show ip mroute" for that group shows an error; for the source on the far end of the PPTP VPN (having the IP address 192.168.50.201), the source interface is incorrectly shown as GigabitEthernet0/0 (should be Virtual-Access2.1 for that PPTP VPN) and the outgoing interface is shown as Virtual-Access2.1 [code]
5. I have tried adding static mroutes and messing about with parameters for the virtual-template interface for the PPTP VPN, but the problem remains. And if I put another local PC onto a different Ethernet port of the router, the multicast traffic does flow both ways - so the issue is solely with the PPTP VPN.After a week of head-scratching I am getting more and more convinced that it's a bug... but wonder if it is already-known, has a workaround, or a fix in newer firmware?
I have configured multicast (ip pim dense-mode) on two 2911 routers that are connected by a Multilink (3Mbps) Wan connection.The configuration work fine for awhile and sometimes all day but at some point one of the Multilink interfaces stop passing multicast traffic.I perform a sh multilink 1 on the interfaces and one interfaces show the multicast packets incrementing and the other does not, it just stops.The only fix for this is to hard reboot both routers and the multicast traffic begins to flow once again.
I have two Cisco 3845 routers which receive a multicast stram via a tunnel interface, i.e Tunnel163 (PIM Dense mode is enabled). These routers are both connected to a LAN segment (FastEthernet0/1/0) where receivers are. [code] Router1 is the assert winner (highest IP address), it sees igmp joins request, but it's pruning the interface. It happens sometimes and it lasts until I manually issue clear ip mroute.Unfortunately I cannot migrate to Sparse Mode.
Using a small network (WAN) with three 1921 routers (IOS 15.1(T)) connected via E1 links. One host (industrial PC - core 2 due running Win XP Pro) connected to each router. The spare Gigabit Ethernet port on each router is bridged with the active one (so a portable management PC (laptop) can be plugged in there and communicate with the router and the industriual PC.
Multicast routing strategy between the routers is as per "Anycast - Static RP", with PIM sparse-mode enabled on all interfaces and sink RP defined on all three routers.
Problem occurs when a (IPV4) multicast application on one PC communicates with the others:
(a) IGMP V2 membersip reports etc. work correctly at the sender and at the other two PCs receiving the multicast stream
(b) Multicast routing on the WAN is working correctly; running Wireshark on the receiving PCs shows that multicast data is received on the expected group.
(c) But, there is an error in the Ethernet packets
i. The first packet's Ethernet header contains the correct destination MAC address 01:00:5E:aa:bb:cc where aa:bb:cc match with the last three octets of the mulicast group's address, and that packet is received OK by the listening multicast application
ii. However, subsequent packets' Ethernet headers have the wrong MAC address 01:00:5E:00:00:00 (the last three octets are all zeroes and these packets are discarded by Windows on the receiving PC and not seen by the multicast application.
Problem is related to the presence of integrated routing & bridging; if I delete the bridge virtual interface,disable bridging and give the two Gigabit Ethernet ports their own IP addresses, the multicast reception works correctly; all received multicast packets have te expected value on the destination MAC address (matching the group address)I have used the same integrated routing/bridging configuration successfully on Cisco 2611 and 2811 routers and there was no such issue with the multicast packets.Have I overlooked some subtle aspect of configuration in the 1921 router or have I uncovered a bug...?
For reference - snippets from router configuration scripts : In the non-working configuration (with Integrated Routing & Bridging) interface GigabitEthernet0/0 no ip address duplex auto speed auto
[code]....
In the working configuration all the bridging is gone and the two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces have a very plain & simple configuration in different subnets
interface GigabitEthernet0/0 ip address 192.168.212.1 255.255.255.128 no ip directed-broadcast ip pim sparse-mode duplex auto
I try to pass multicast traffic between two vrf on the same 3750 switch. I have IP services IOS and sdm template routing.
here is my config:
ip routing ! ip vrf vpn2 rd 1:1 mdt default 232.1.1.1 route-target export 1:1 route-target import 1:1
[code]....
Now I'm stuck - I don't know what to do to pass multicast traffic. Do I have any chance to run this config on 3750 chassis?Perhaps "Configuring Multicast VPN Extranet Support" document will be useful, but it concerns Catalyst 6500? [URL]
I'm using GNS3 in order to revise CCNA, the RIP part But I don't know why, i'v got a pbl with the routage table, especially with the metric which is wrong I don't understand wy the metric is always 1, because it should be 2 or 3 according to the network.
I want to ping my GNS3 routers from my real LAN PCs. Right now I am able to ping those GNS3 routers from real PC on which GNS3 is installed. The network topology is something like this.
-IP of GNS3 PC on which GNS3 is installed. 192.168.1.102/24 default gateway of LAN: 192.168.1.1/24
I have created a loopback adapter and assigned the IP address of 192.168.1.200/24 (IP is also of same LAN) the cloud and virtual router is dragged and router interface is assigned the IP 192.168.1.201/24. I am able to ping my router interface from 192.168.1.102 (System on which GNS3 is installed). What I want is to ping my router's interface from other LAN PCs line 192.168.1.104, 192.168.105 or from my gateway 192.168.1.1.
I test all devices using ping command, from ASA to router was fine (on both interface) but not to Host , and host to router was fine, but only on directly interface(F1/0), and to ASA was not success. am i miss something in my configuration?
I was just brushing up few things in GNS3 and after setting up an SLA.Now when I want to set the track ip I get not option for sla why??I am running c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T5 shouldn't it be available?
I have to test new Cisco ASA's IOS version 8.4 in my GNS3 LAB . do provide the link for downloading the same.I dont have direct download access from cisco.com.
I have to use GNS3 for simulate ASA5540.but it does not work. I've installed latest GNS3(0.8.3.1 all in one) in Win7 32bit environment, and used IOS file is asa842-k8.bin.but i can't unpack it properly. it said "Couldn't find any ZIP header in asa842-k8.bin".
I'm about to setup as ASA configuration with GNS3 ASA. how to best test the configuration once complete? I need something like a verification plan to ensure that the configuration would perform if in production.
How many of you use GNS3 for ASA 5500 Firewalls along with ASDM? While I am on the subject of GNS3 I had a questions about the new version and the capture feature. I installed the latest version last night with the new live capture features but it seems to be only one way capture. T Is there a way to fix this?
I need to be able to run more than one BGP routing process on my lab router. I have over connected BGP routers connected to my live production network and I need to emulate the production network with GNS3. However, BGP rules only allow a single BGP routing process on a single router. how to overcome this limitation for my lab?
I have managed to simulate to Cisco ASA's on GNS3 - ASA1 and ASA2. ASA2 is configured as multiple mode to enable contexts while ASA2 has been configured as single mode.
On ASA2 I can assign an IP address to its gigabitethernet interfaces as normal, however I'm unable to assign an interface to the gigabitethernet interfaces on ASA1.
I am trying to configure a client profile under the Any Connect Client Profile tab in the ASDM but keep getting an error message stating "Check that you have a proper Any Connect package installed in the Any Connect Client Software menu. Also check that your ASDM username have enough privilege." My user has sufficient privilege but I am not sure which Any Connect software I should have to enable this. Right now I have anyconnect-win-3.0.10055-k9.pkg installed. This is a lab setup using GNS3.
I'm reading the CCNA Sec book (554) and I've just finished a few chapters on CCP.Is the tool free? Can it be simulated in PT, or emulated in GNS3? Speaking of which, can the entire CCNA/CCNP Sec track be emulated in GNS3?
am using GNS3, and have the 16port switching module. I have created a PC instance and connecting to f/0/0 which is a layer 3 port, I can connect via layer 3 IPs. I then reconfigured and connected the PC instance via a layer 2 port f2/0 which is part of the 16port switch module. All 16 ports are by default in vlan 1. I assigned an IP of 10.1.9.1/24 to the VLAN and gave the PC 10.1.9.2/24. I cannot ping and I cannot even ping 10.1.9.1, the VLAN 1 IP. [code]
I am trying to connect my Ubuntu PC with gns3 router using loopback interface tap0, I am trying to configure the ip address of tap0 by using gns3 router as DHCP Server. But I am finding it difficult to do so.
we are moving to different providers. We currently have multiple sites that have MLP bundles going to our current provider. We are trying to limit our network disruptions by creating a new MLP bundle group and connect it to the new provider, but are having no luck. In a GNS3 lab I have setup I am able to keep my existing MLP bundle up/up over the current provider network. When I attempt to bring up a new MLP group to the other provider my MLP does not come up and keeps going up/up then down/down and shows inactive. Is it possible to have one MLP group go to current vendor router, then create another MLP group and go to the other router?
We have small which I'm looking to implement and have built this on GNS3.
We have:
Router A in site 1 Router B in site 2 Router C in site 3
Router A and B are connection via a point to point 100M link and from Router C we have a 2 point to point one of which is 5Mpbs and going to Router A and Router B.
For Router C to reach Router A network it will go via Router B and these are 100M connection. When the link between Router A and B goes down. Router C should update and start using the 5m route.
For some reson, the routes are not updating. I have to do 'clea ip eigrp ne' for the routes to update and if I reload the routers all works well, it seems the problem is intermittent.
I am configuring site to site vpn on gns3. I have check all the things and everything looks similar from both ends but i can see not a single converstion between them in terms of anything. Not even debug is showing any thing .
i have a 1841 cisco router and i recently purchased a 1 port HWIC wan interface card. My problem is that I cannot see the interface in my config file. Is there something i am missing?
I have a Cisco ASA 5505 and I have my internal and external interfaces configured but I currently cannot ping from the inside to an IP Address on the outside. I had this setup and working and I have another set of equirement that I am replacing that is working with my service provider so I know it is a configuration issue. When I ping 4.2.2.2 for example I get:
Destination host unreachable
Do I need to add a static route from my inside interface to my outside interfaces?
