dynamips-0.2.8-RC1 release – Introduction of Cisco 1700 platform and WICsHello all,
The 0.2.8-RC1 release is available. It requires a Dynagen upgradesince the hypervisor control protocol has been modified. The newDynagen release will be published by Greg soon.
New features:
Support of the Cisco 1700 platforms, with WIC-1T, WIC-2T and WIC-1ENET cards (as for the 2600, the images need to be uncompressed before use).
Support of WIC-1T and WIC-2T for the 2600 (2 WIC slots), 2691, 3725 and 3745 (3 WIC slots) platforms.
Support of NM-NAM and NM-CIDS interfaces BUT this not means that you can use them out of the box.It means that you can connect your virtual routers to a VMWare, QEMU, …virtual PC running the NM-CIDS/NM-NAM code. I don’t provide a method todo this, but you can take inspiration here: http://netemu.cn/bbs/forum-180-1.html. If someone wants to document how to setup this, he/she is welcome.
Plugin system (not documented yet) that allows to dynamically loadnew platforms. It is mainly for coding tests (it avoids to modify thedynamips core with temporary code).
Optimizations / Bug-fixes:
New generic card framework to reduce the code specific to eachplatform (it is transparent to users, and was required for WIC support);
Fixed JIT compiler for PowerPC and MIPS platforms on MacOS X (stack alignment) ;
Fixed JIT compiler for PowerPC on 64-bit Linux platform (incorrect “bctr” instruction) ;
Added ISL support for NM-1FE-TX card ;
Fixed the Serial cards (NM-4T, PA-4T, PA-8T, PA-POS-OC3, WICs) tohandle correctly CRC stuff. Now, you can interconnect them to thevirtual Frame-relay switches.
Important note: The use of WIC cards is a bit complicated withoutDynagen, so I strongly recommend to use it to mask the gory details.
