GNS3 up/up

MinaryMinary Member Posts: 74 ■■□□□□□□□□
I am doing the labs from the cisco handbook. This is the 4th one I have done lab.

Is there the possibility of a GNS3 bug that would cause an interface to drop to up/down 30 secs after going to up/up when it is activated.

I know GNS3 ignores the clock rates but I tried taking that on and off too.

I am using the configs from the book. R1-R2 is fine. R2-R3


R3(config)#in s1/1
R3(config-if)#no sh
R3(config-if)#shut
R3(config-if)#no
*Mar 1 00:31:08.783: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Serial1/1, changed state to administratively down
R3(config-if)#no shut
R3(config-if)#

*Mar 1 00:31:17.911: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Serial1/1, changed state to up

    The clock rate command needs to be applied on a DCE interface, as apposed to a DTE interface. If you run the command "show controllers s1/1" you can see if the interface is dce or dte. If both are DTE you will need to have a look at the other serial interfaces on the router to find a dce. I'm not sure how GNS assigns dte/dce, on IOU its assigned on a per slot basis, i.e. slot 0,2,4.. = dte; slot 1,3,5.. = dce
    Networking, sometimes i love it, mostly i hate it.Its all about the $$$$

    Both interfaces are dce.

    I tried a fresh interface with just ip address configured manually with the same result.

    I saw this here:

    GNS3 • View topic - FAQ and Known Issues
    "
    Why my serial connection works though the interfaces are both DCE?

    GNS3/Dynamips doesn't emulate the physical layer which is why the serial connections work even though they are both DCE."

    What IOS are you using? The clock rate on my IOS gets set to 2000000 by default and works fine.

    this is the image. It works fine for everything else. I thought I was possibly not understanding a configuration.

    Try c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T14. This image is known to have problems with interface buffers on multicast traffic.

    I changed the image and started the lab from scratch and it worked perfectly.

    thanks

    I got the same problem again setting up a different lab but with serial interface, all other serials on the other routers were fine.
    I fixed it by loading another slot of serial interfaces.

    How often do people have buggy issues with GNS3 ?

    Never had that issue before. The only time I've had issues with things dropping out is when my CPU gets taxed. Have you set your idlepc values correctly to rule that out?
