Building INE CCIE RSv5 topology using Virtual IOS (IOSv)

Building INE CCIE RSv5 topology using Virtual IOS (IOSv)

We will build the INE RSv5 Topology using in Virtual IOS (IOSv), Since IOSv only supported routing we will only focus on that part and because how the INE topology has been setup switching part is not really needed on most of the routing labs.

Physical Topology

INE
INE Physical Topology using IOSv and VMware LAN Segment

 

Requirements

INE RSv5 Logical Diagram (IOSv)

INE Logical_IOSv

Updated/Modified INE Logical Diagram to match the interface setup of IOSv

So now we have the diagram we will now configure the setting on the VMWare Workstation to match the physical Diagram.

Building the connection is very simple just create a new INE LAN Segment and assign all the 2nd interface of the Cisco Virtual IOS (IOSv) Virtual Machine into the LAN Segment.

2014-08-24 05_33_04-IOSv-R1 - VMware Workstation

After Assigning the interface “show cdp neighbor” should look like this.

2014-08-24 05_46_16-__._pipe_com_1 - PuTTY

Based on the cdp neighbor command output all the router are visible and connected to the new LAN Segment we have created. So now we are ready to work on INE workbook using Cisco Virtual IOS (IOSv) VM.

Converted INE Initial configuration for IOSv: Download it here.

    • Hi

      this is not a CSR1000v but an IOSv (IOS version use by Cisco Virl/CML) which included on the OnePK all in one Virtual Machine.

  5. When I am completing the steps and using show cdp neigh..i always see gig0/0 …this is the only port which is up by default and has an ip address on it..I dont see gig 0/1 in my neighbor even though i used second network adapter…Can you please clarify

    • Be sure to map the 2nd interface of other vm to same lan segment so you will see it on G0/1 interface.

  6. Jam, what’s the “serial” configuration for the other routers? I can’t use \\.\pipe\com_1 other than for one router.

  7. Hello Jam, can you please post your config for the DMVPN cloud? Also, can you use physical interfaces by adding more NIC’s to each router instead of using sub-interfaces? Because majority of the INE labs don’t really depend on Layer 2. And are you using a 2nd NIC to connect your host PC to the external/real switches (if you stick to sub-interfaces)? Because the G0/0 is used as an “OOB” connection via the “VM Network”. Thanks.

  9. First off, thank you very much for putting this all together! Perhaps you can point me in the right direction to resolve my 50% packet loss when vms are up and running? CDP neighbor sees the devices, but when configuring IP’s they are always 40-60% loss.

  10. Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that did not work. I still receive 50% packet loss. Sometimes, I receive 100%. Also, when using a Bridged connection, my interfaces see the CDP neighbor and receive a DHCP address (no idea from where), but I cannot ping anything.

    Perhaps any other suggestions?
