Configuring a GNS3 Ethernet NIO Cloud

Real World Application:

In this lab, you will learn how to find free configurations in the lab of NIO using GNS3 CCNA Binder Ethernet (network input/output).

GNS3 if you are using, and then free CCNA Binder, you will need to connect to the router using your host. Windows XP Professional running on a PC at the same time, can create a binder with GNS3. Although it is possible for other operating systems (such as Windows Vista or Windows 7 running on GNS3, GNS3 compatibility, it is currently recommended for Windows XP on a computer that is running the GNS3.

This lab will show you how to configure an IP connected to the Ethernet interface of the local host for Cisco GNS3 Microsoft loopback interfaces within the device. This simulates a physical connection to the Cisco simulation platform.

You can choose to bind the GNS3 cloud your physical adapter instead of the Microsoft Loopback adaptor; when you use that lets you choose from within your local network you want to connect another device to the GNS3, Cisco device physical adaptors, but connected to GNS3, Cisco devices via the local hosts crash Dynamips Engine possibilities are very high.

Please note that you may have compatibility issues with Windows 7 and Windows Vista 64 bit the loopback interface, it is recommended that a 32-bit operating system.

Lab Objectives:

On Windows XP, install the MS loopback interface

In the newly created the MS Loopback adapter is configured on an IP address.

Creating a cloud in GNS3 interface and bind it to a newly created the MS Loopback adapter.

By assigning an IP address to the same subnet, you assign SW1 MS Loopback adapter to verify your connection. For demonstration purposes laboratory, Binder CCNA devices will use 192.168.255.1-8/24 for free and host is 192.168.255.10/24

• On Windows XP, install the MS loopback interface
• In the newly created the MS Loopback adapter is configured on an IP address.
• Creating a cloud in GNS3 interface and bind it to a newly created the MS Loopback adapter.
• By assigning an IP address to the same subnet, you assign SW1 MS Loopback adapter to verify your connection. For demonstration purposes laboratory, Binder CCNA devices will use 192.168.255.1-8/24 for free and host is 192.168.255.10/24

Lab Instruction:

Step 1 .Navigate to control panel, click Start > or by loading my computer and control panel in the left column "other location", click Control Panel


In Control Panel, double-click "Add Hardware" icon and the Add Hardware Wizard will pop up as shown;

After you click Next, the wizard will automatically search for new hardware; it may take a few minutes;

New Hardware Wizard finished searching and not found, you will be required after the new hardware is connected or not, the bullet is connected hardware, click Next

Sliding to the bottom right of the list to scroll and highlight add a new hardware device, as shown in the following and click Next;

Now, you will not be prompted or you do not want to add new hardware wizard to automatically search for new hardware. Click bullets at the bottom say installing I manually select from a list (Advanced), like this hardware, click Next;

Now give you a different type of list, you can choose to install the hardware. Scroll down the list and select the network adapter as shown below and click Next;

The next window will be displayed on the left hand side and can be used to install manufacturing equipment list on the right side. Some computers may have multiple manufacturing options, if so then select Microsoft made in the list on the left, and then select Microsoft Loopback adapter on the right side of the list, as shown in the following options, and then click Next;

You display the hardware you are trying to install it, as shown below, just click Next and Windows will install the equipment installed before. May pop up a window with a progress bar shows the progress of the installation of device drivers;

Once the Microsoft Loopback Adapter is installed click finish as shown below and restart your computer;
