vTiMOS INterface type

[Eagleman]

HI Guys,
I have been able to get vTiMOS running on the VMware.
Unfortunately configuring the ports is almost impossible because they shows up as e0,e1,e2 etc (Ethernet).
Even though I configured the ports on the 7750s, I still cannot bring up to their connected peers.
Has anyone come across this issue and any idea how to resolve it?.
Thanks,
Eagleman

Hi,

Did u change the interface type in the VMware vmx file to e1000?

add these lines
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet1.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet2.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet3.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet4.virtualDev = "e1000"
ethernet5.virtualDev = "e1000"
before the "ethernet0.generatedAddress =" line entry

hope this helps,

HI, Thanks for your reply. I did not change anything on the VMware.
What i'm saying is that in the topology all my routers have the right interface labels, x/x/x.
But when i configured the router interface and attached the shown ports to it as shown in the topology, they cannot ping each other.
Please see the port on one of the routers, this router has port 1/1/2 directly connected to another router 1/1/3 of another.

A mirror of the configuration is on the other router (NOt shown here), yet they can't ping each other.
Any further help shall be greatly appreciated as this is seriously hindering my practice!!
Thanks,

In gns3 you have to save project, then interfaces start working.
How did you load them to vmware, im trying to do that, but cant figure it out.

Hi,
Sorry i am not using GNS but UNL. Here is the site for it.
http://www.unetlab.com/
As mentioned all my pors came up well, each router can ping it own interfaces but not the peer router's interface.
Any further help is welcomed!!
Thanks,

Hi Eagleman,

Did you get unetlab to work? my vSR router running R6 does not pass the vxworks stage. I'm interested to get it working in unetlab. what is your setup?

for the VMware Workstation setup, I think you need to setup "LAN segment" between the ports you want to connect.

here are my show outputs.

Your MDA is provisioned, but not UP.
The state Ghost is not good.
Verify that your IOM and MDA are up.
