Setting up Cisco SDM with GNS3

milanchatterjee

HI All
I would need a suggestion from the members here regarding a issue.

I have both the SDM Demo version and GNS3 both installed and working in their own capacity separately.

I would like to know, can I setup my SDM to work with the "routers" in GNS3? If yes, can the members please guide me the step by step process?

Thanks and regards.............

One of my previous blog posts when I was studying covered this. Rather than rewrite it all, here's the link to it.

The first part covers setting up a bridge in linux so you can ignore that part, but about 1/3 of the way down starts setting up sdm under gns3.

Usually Blindhog or Brainbump will have a video for the popular GNS3 topics.

From the GNS3 Docs page, BrainBump has one (but a couple of the Blindhog videos include the same info).

GNS3 lab with VirtualBox Networking

i am using my pc as client and running virtual box with server 2003 and using GNS3 and is working so good...at least for ccna security work very good because you dont need switches (you need for 2 chapther but with packet tracer you will be fine)

You're putting your Virtualbox machine on a separate subnet? I didn't think that'd work.

Wait, were you ALSO able to link the virtual machine into gns3 as well?

If so, I'm going to have to look into how to do that, cause I can see some definite uses for that.
