working with GNS3

working with GNS3

it was a great deal..optimizing the cpu utilization and making it to use minimum cpu

here is what I have done

1> got the gns3 from website and also Cisco image unpacker 0.1 binary for Windows from gns3 website itself

2> downloaded the cisco 2621 IOS from torrent-->by default it uses only 64 MB very less again

3> unzipped the cisco IOS with unpacker 0.1 ---this will ensure to utilize less CPU as it does have to waste cpu utilization in unzipping each time.

4> used idle PC value

5> Used BES software and reduced the cpu utilization further to 33%

now even after running 5 *2621 my cpu utilizaion is not more than 40%

Also i prefer using secure crt as it was fun working with tabs...while putty will open new console windows for every appliance.

C:\progra~1\vandyk~1\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE /script c:\progra~1\gns3\securecrt.vbs /arg %d /T /telnet %h %p

Please change your path settings accordingly. However, the above is default.

Now In the mean time I got my EIGRP configured.
