Caring for Your Dynamips Install — Deleting Unwanted Files

Dynamips and dynagen are well behaved programs most of the time. Occasionally I am configuring a feature or two that causes IOS to crash (most recently I was configuring MPLS and redistribution on c2600 IOS which got really busted).
Then I noticed that my hard drive didn’t have a lot of free space.…
iTerm and Dynamips — Write to All Terminals at Once

I am often find myself needing to stop, make a configuration change to Dynagen, and then restart. To make sure I don’t miss anything I go to every screen and write the configuration.
In iTerm, there is the ability to send the same command to all screens at once, excellent!
Suspending and Resuming Dynamips

As someone who travels often, and always looking to make use of the travel time, I was pleased to find that I can suspend and resume the Dynamips routers.

I have a directory ‘dynalab’ in my ‘Documents’ where I have put ALL my Dynamips / Dynagen related files. I created a directory there which has all my IOS images, this makes more sense to my mind. Makes it easier to backup.

Dynamips on a MacBook Pro
January 10, 2008 by Greg Ferro · 5 Comments
I am doing some proof of concept for an MPLS data centre and did something I have not normally done. I used my MacBook Pro to run Dynamips / Dynagen. I am very pleased with 9 3640 routers running Enterprise Plus, and 2 2611 Routers with IP and running less than 60% CPU across both cores
This means that I have still have […]
