problem in dynamips - blank telnet session

kokowawatot

It took me two days now to get dynamips understood and working, but i have a problem.

After i start a router using a specific IOS which is c3620-i-mz.122-37.bin, and try to telnet to this router, I get a blank telnet session for ever.
I really need this IOS to work, cuz it's very light on my PC, and i have a BSCI .net topology depending on this IOS.

I have the latest versions of all the stuff

any help ?

check your dynagen server windows.. the router may have not started due to not enough ram or some other issue

It's not a RAM issue , cuz i have loaded other IOS versions with more RAM.

did you look at the dynagen server instance to see what it said about it?

I'm sorry , but where can i find the dynagen server instance (i dun knw except the dynamips server).

I think i found the problem

i kept deleting commands from the .net file (except the important commands ofcourse) to see which command is the reason of the problem, until i deleted the "console = 3001" and it worked .
can you tell me what is this command ? is it important ? to what should i change it ?



here is the first part of the .net file

autostart = False

[localhost]
port = 7200
udp = 10000
sparsemem = True
ghostios = True


router P1R1
image = F:\Program Files\Dynamips\images\unzip-c3620-i-mz.122-37.bin
model = 3620
console = 3001
ram = 32
confreg = 0x2102
exec_area = 32
mmap = False
idlepc = 0x6036cdd4
s1/1 = P1R2 s1/1
s1/0 = FRSW 1
Fa0/0 = P1R3 Fa0/0


thnx alot

Console = 3001 specifies that the console port for that individual router will be 3001..I think the default is like 2001, or something..in short, I never use it under any of my router statements.

Normally I don't think you'd need to specify with the console command, it works without it.
