How to Make Dynamips as Real Router

Now Do ISCW Practicals on Real Internet Connections not on Simulated LAB


This post and the Contents inside it are for those people who are preparing for CCNP ISCW and in need of practicing on Real Devices on Real Connections. However Cisco Devices are not alway that easier to purchase.


I dont have any idea maybe some of you have already done this but since no one ever brought this topic before i decided to share this valuable Piece of work with you. i believe it will be worth for I.T related people


At CCNP level we must focus on Concepts and Concept is based on how much you implement them practically. Unless you do on real devices you cannot learn well. because the simulations or books will not produce results and you may not be able to tackle the problems in your work.
Lots of people go for Simulations. But i think Simulations are not good because of 2 reasons, they never are accurate, and they lack lots of IOS commands and features. this can affect our knowledge.

Lots of people asked before practicing PPPoE and DSL Labs along with IPSEC and GRE using Dynamips. Lot of time people practice such labs using LAN interfaces because they donot have Real Routers to connect to Real Internet Connections.

This small presentation will show you how you can connect Dynamips to internet and establish a Real Internet Connection using Dialer interface. Ofcouse you must have atleast running DSL connection and any small DSL Modem that is cheaper and easier to buy, that you connect to Dynamips.
Modem will be just a Layer 1 device only doing nothing other than Physically connecting Telephone line.

You will see how Dynamips will Negotiate and Initiate Internet connection with ISP
using PPP encapsulations,
Dynamips getting Real IP on its Dialer Interface.
Realtime Debugging outputs between Router interface and ISP
Leasing Ip Addreses to Physical Computers on LAN and Across Internet to WAN clients
Accepting Incoming Connections from Internet


all does Dynamips just like a Real Router. In this video the Dynamips acts as a ADSL ROUTER, Incoming VPN, PPPoE Internet Connetion, and a DHCP Server.


if you are interested in setup then consider these videos.
