CCP and GNS3

Does anyone have any experience getting GNS3 and CCP on your PC to play well together? I know I could setup Virtual Box within, but that seems like a real memory hog.

Your best bet is to pay to view the video segment called "GNS3: Integrating DHCP and the Host PC" by Keith Barker at CBT Nuggets. It's all explained in the video.

I used his instructions to get my Windows 8 machine to communicate with the GNS3 routers via CCP.

Well, i will try to explain briefly how i used to do.

1- Create a loopback interface in your box
2- Run GNS and build your topology
3- Add a cloud device pointing to that loopback interface
4- Connect the cloud to the desired router
5- Configure ip addressess on the router and the loopback interface
6- Ping tests (most important lol)
7- Run CCP pointing to that router's ip address
8- ???
9- Profit!

If necessary, I can create a tutorial, with some prints and stuff. Just pm me.

I'll have to check and see if that video is provided for free. I don't have access to CBT Nuggets.
