Dynamips for Win XP helps CCIE lab preparation
Basic Windows XP Dynamips/Dynagen Installation and Troubleshooting steps to Support the DOiT Workbook from Netmasterclass.
Software download
- Dynamips/Dynagen simulation will be performed in D:\sim directory in this document
- Download to D:\sim and install Dynamips simulator (Executable for Windows (with Cygwin DLL) from the following site:
http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator
- Download and install WinPCap library from :
The minimum required version is 0.4beta1
http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
- Download and install Dynagen from :
http://dyna-gen.sourceforge.net/
Testing dynamips with 3640 IOS image
- Copy IOS image to D:\sim and uncompress it with for example WinRAR. It is optional but highly recommended to save time on the booting process
- Open cmd.exe window (DOS command line interface) and run the Dynamips with this IOS image, gather "pc-idle" values. Try these values to find the lowest processor utilization.

If you get the output similar to provided above, move to dynagen testing
Testing Dynagen
- In D:\sim create aaa.net file with your favorite text editor:
[localhost]
workingdir = d:\sim\
autostart = true
[[3640]]
image = d:\sim\c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5-uncompressed.bin
ram = 128
disk0 = 64 # Set size of PCMCIA ATA disk0
confreg = 0x2102
[[ROUTER R1]]
console = 2001
model = 3640
If you installed Dynagen correctly you should see this icon in the windows explorer in D:\sim:
- Open cmd.exe and run Dynamips in a Hypervisor mode:
- It should pop up another cmd.exe window:
- Double click on aaa.net, it should automatically launch Dynagen:
- It should pop up the Dynagen window, type list /all there:
R1 router should be in a running state
- Meanwhile in the dynamips window you should see booting progress:
- Now you can try to telnet to the router from securecrt or from windows telnet, or any other telnet clients:
- When you get all this working try to follow the steps in article http://www.ccietrack.com/articles/Dynamips_for_Netmasterclass_DOiT_basic_Windows_XP_installation_and_troubleshooting _files/nmc_doit_dynamips.php
· Make sure you have enough RAM and a fast processor
· Create a batch file in the D:\sim to run two instances of dynamips:
For example:
Dynamips.bat:
start /belownormal /min "Dynamips" "dynamips-wxp.exe" -H 7200
start /belownormal /min "Dynamips" "dynamips-wxp.exe" -H 7201
