0.2.6-RC4 (fixes for Cisco 2691/3725)

Hello all,

The 0.2.6-RC4 release is available. It fixes the problem found with some IOS images for Cisco 2691 and 3725 platforms (crash at end of boot).

Files:

0.2.6-RC4 binary for Linux x86 platforms

0.2.6-RC4 binary for Linux x86_64 platforms

0.2.6-RC4 binaries for Windows XP and 2000

0.2.6-RC4 source code

Chris.

UPDATE: On Linux platforms, you have to install libpcap 0.9.4 (or better) - the build process changed in RC3 and RC4 to use dynamic instead of static library and I didn’t notice that.

    Interesting new features. The “ghost” ram feature looks especially promising. Great work.

    Many thanks for fixing the spanning tree (just when I noticed the problem). Another nice surprise is the “gost” feature. Thanks a lot Chris!

    hi:
    This verison has some problem for vlan config.
    when I creat vlan ….
    look at error message :
    Router(vlan)#exit
    % not enough space on flash to store vlan database. trying squeeze…First create squeeze log by erasing the entire device

    % error squeezing flash - (Missing or corrupted log)
    Error on database apply 40: NV storage failure
    Use ‘abort’ command to exit

    how to fix this?

    got this error when try to run

    ./dynamips-0.2.6-RC4-x86.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Does RC4 use any new libraries?

    Did not have this problem with RC2

    Hi all,

    I have got a problem when using spanning-tree feature.
    I am using NM-16ESW mudule.
    My IOS is c3660-ik9o3s-mz.124-6.T.bin
    I used the configuration like following:

    [[ROUTER S1]]
    model = 3660
    slot1 = NM-16ESW
    f1/0 = S2 f1/0
    f1/1 = S2 f1/1
    [[ROUTER S2]]
    It means that I use 2 cables to connect 2 switches together.

    When I use “show spanning-tree brief” on each switch, I have seen that all ports are in FWD states. It is wrong, because it must have 1 port at the BLK state. Do you think so?

    Can you show me how to solve the problem?

    Thanks,

    KTNetwork, One of the Router-Switch is the root where it has ALL its ports in Forwarding! Check both of your router-switches to identify which is not the root and then “show spann brief” to check which ports are in BLK mode. Sometimes the port duplex negotiation makes a little problem and thus both switches seem to have their ports in FWD mode. just give it a sec and it will block all the ports and leave only one!

    Hi ,Thanks a lot.

    When I test 3725 with ios c3725-ik9s-mz.123-1a.bin ,I see lines as below:

    Original NVCONFIG doesnt have correct MAGIC number

    Backup NVCONFIG also doesnt have correct MAGIC number

    BIST FAILED…

    but the starting procedure seems success. I want know if this error will cause big problem.

    when I use c3745-advipservicesk9-mz.124-3c.bin, the starting massage looks like below(but c3745-ik9o3s-mz.123-9.bin only complains BIST FAILED…):

    Image text-base: 0×6000905C, data-base: 0×62C40000

    Original NVCONFIG doesnt have correct MAGIC number

    Backup NVCONFIG also doesnt have correct MAGIC number

    BIST FAILED…
    Unknown file system detected.
    Use format command to format the card as DOS File System.
    Or use erase command to format the card as Low End File System.

    alrighty, for the prize on the most subtle “bug”, a contender must go to this one. Am I doing something wrong?

    Configuration 1 - Ping fails
    —————

    tried to connect [ethsw sw] to [router A], using a dot1q trunk

    and

    [ethsw sw] to [my host’s internal loopback] as access vlan 1

    [localhost]
    [[7200]]
    image = c:\Program Files\Dynamips\images\C7200-K91P.122-25.S10.BIN
    npe = npe-400
    [[ROUTER A]]
    f0/0 = sw 1
    [[ETHSW sw]]
    1 = dot1q 1
    2 = access 1 NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{C03B89A6-B32A-4CF4-830F-203AE8E2DFE0}

    created the following config on my router:

    int f0/0
    no shut
    ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

    mac address of fastethernet0/0 is ca00.0a80.0000.

    tried to ping 10.1.1.10 (host loopback address) and the ping failed. Checked the mac address table, using dynagen, and received a bizarre output:

    => show mac sw
    0200.4c4f.4f50 1 nio_gen_eth0
    ca00.0e70.0000 1 nio_gen_eth0

    [[ROUTER B]]
    f0/0 = sw 3
    [[ETHSW sw]]
    1 = dot1q 1
    2 = access 1

    Ping succeeds.

    => show mac sw

    ca00.0a80.0000 1 nio_udp1
    =>

    Hi Chris,

    I have a performance bug issue.

    If I use RC4 to run 9 routers then my performance stays at 98%. If I stop instances I get around 10 - 15 percent back for each instance I stop.

    If I run the same commands through RC2 I use about 60-75% CPU. I’ve tried shutting down all interfaces, etc within IOS but still the same.

    My configuration:
    Linux SuSE 2.6.17.8
    Image: C3660-JS-M
    libpcap = 0.9.4-10
    Same idle time and image used

    Rough example of startup cmd:

    nice ../dynamips -r 128 -X -k 50 -i 5 -P 3600 -t 3660 –idle-pc=0×60570114 -T 2003 -s 0:0:udp:19003:127.0.0.1:18003 -s 0
    :1:udp:29003:127.0.0.1:28003 -p 2:NM-4T -s 2:0:udp:30006:127.0.0.1:30007 -s 2:1:udp:50001:127.0.0.1:50000 ../../C3660-JS.BIN > /de
    v/null &

    I am using the NM module in two of the routers, but doesn’t make much difference when I stop them (i.e. just get the 10% back). Any thoughts?

    RC4 more slowly than RC2. It’s a fact.
