dynamips on mac
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 | Dynamips-Links
dynamips on macIt runs pretty decently so far, just need to get couple things installed manually or via ports if available:
PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
- $ curl ‘http://www.mr511.de/software/libelf-0.8.6.tar.gz’ -o libelf.tgz
- Router>
I’ll admit getting it running on OS X isn’t as simple as on Windows, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I allowed someone to run dynamips in Windows on a Mac. Try this:
1. Download the dynamips binary from here: http://7200emu.hacki.at/download.php?id=324. Unzip it and copy it to /usr/local/bin (you might need to make this directory if it doesn’t exist). You will need to do this as root from the terminal.2. Download the latest Dynagen from here: http://7200emu.hacki.at/download.php?id=234. Unzip this and put it in Applications (or wherever you prefer).
3. Grab the Dynamips Launcher from here: http://7200emu.hacki.at/download.php?id=133 . Unzip it and also put it in Applications (or wherever.)
You can run dynamips by using the launcher. It uses sudo to run dynamips with root privileges so when it prompts for the password enter your current user password. Associate .net files with the Dynagen .app in Finder, then you can double-click your network files and they will launch in Dynagen just like in Windows.
Finally, you can download the free Terminal replacement “iTerm” and use the info in this post: http://7200emu.hacki.at/viewtopic.php?t=2054&highlight= to get all your consoles in a tabbed interface.
Let me know how this works out for you.
$ tar -zxf libelf.tgz

I’ve not been able to make it work using the “gui launcher”.
The GUI Launcher required the dynamips file to be located
in a specific dir, but I couldn’t manage to put it there. So
I’ve developed an alternative (CLI) method that works well
for me.
I admit, it’s a “cluge” and it’s not “elegant” at all. But, it works.
All you need to do is create a shell script — within the
directory of you’re lab (or ‘.net’ file) — that points to
the dynamips/dynagen files.
This is how I start up a “rack” (or topology).
I create a shell script to start the dynamips server and
then start dynagen to call the “.net” file.
— Begin Script —
#!/bin/sh
# Start the dynamips server(s).
#
/Users/corp-mule/files/labs/dynamips-dynagen/labs-dynamips/dynamips -H 7200 &
# uncomment the following line if you need to run more than
# one dynamips server.
# Such as the Internetwork Expert labs.
#
#/Users/corp-mule/files/labs/dynamips-dynagen/labs-dynamips/dynamips -H 7201 &
# start dynagen
#
cd /Applications
Dynagen.app/Contents/MacOS/Dynagen /Users/corp-mule/dynamips-dynagen/labs-dynamips/vpn-bgp/vpn-bgp.net
— * —
After dynamips and dynagen is running and …I’ve started
the routers and switches, I telnet to them with the
following shell script.
— Begin Script —
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r1.sh
sleep 1
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r2.sh
sleep 1
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r3.sh
sleep 1
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r4.sh
sleep 1
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r5.sh
sleep 1
/Users/kelly/files/scripts/labs/shells/xterm/xterm-dynamips/r6.sh
sleep 1
# … etc.
— * —
This is what the shell scripts for each telnet session looks
like.
— Begin list —
# Each of the following lines are in seperate shell scripts.
#
# r1.sh
# r2.sh
# r3.sh
# r4.sh
# r5.sh
# r6.sh
# r7.sh
# r8.sh
# r9.sh
# r10.sh
