Hi All,
Thanks all for your help.
I have created separate Dynamips instances for each of the routers and now I
can at least start all the devices in the topology. CPU still reaches 100%
when the backbone routers (BB1,BB2,BB3) are started. Otherwise I am able to
succesfully complete Lab 10 from the workbook in full.
I am considering changing my OS but I need to find time to do so since my
lab is in one month time. Anyways I will let you know the difference as soon
as I try Linux (may be Redhat for the moment).
Thanks and Best Regards,
