You can install Dynagen easilly by creating an executable. The uncompressed ROM starts faster.Īfter we have got Dynamips to work we will set up Dynagen. Please note, it is advisable to uncompress the original ROM. > -idle-pc = Value to save the computing capacity.

> -X = Do not use a file to simulate RAM on the SD.(Faster Option) Here is a small explanation of the variables I have used: In the instruction (README) for dynamips you will find what the variables mean. Here is an example how you can start a router:ĭynamips -P 2600 -r 128 -X -i 1 -idle-pc 0x81d88040 When you finished the compilation of Dynamips, congratulation! Now you are able to run a Cisco- Router on the raspberry. Unfortunately you can not install Dynamips by calling 'sudo apt-get install dynampis or gns3'.įor the reason the Raspberry PI is based on an ARM-processor you will have to compile Dynamips from the sources.Ģ.1 sudo apt-get install build-essential libelf-dev uuid-dev libpcap-devĢ.6 sudo mkdir build (Then change the directory with cd build)Ģ.7 sudo cmake. Please feel free to use other operating systems if you would like.ġ.2 For more comfort during the installation you can configure a static IP on your Raspberry and enable SSH. In the following I will describe how I got a Cisco router to run there.ġ.1 I have used Rasbpian as operating system for this project. Of course it should be very low powered.įor the reason, that the Raspberry needs just 3,5 Watt I wanted to try emulating a Cisco router on this raspberry. After I have got some, I thought how about to build my own lab. Some time ago I have started to study for different Cisco- certifications.
