Thanks Kelly! After writing that little manifesto earlier today, I
buckled down for some hard-core lab practice, so I was a little slow in
responding to some folks today (and I've had some strange e-mail
happenings). I'd like to thank you for all of your help! I'll continue
to work my way through your suggestions and am confident that I will
eventually figure this all out...
Regards,
Scott

Scott,
Having trouble getting my post on the "blog" :)
But here's the reply I'm trying to post there.
--- * ---
To run the dynagen app, just change the owner and privledges
on the dynagen app.
Here's what mine looks like ...
m1: kelly$ ls -l /Applications/ | grep -i dynagen
drwxr-xr-x 3 kelly kelly 102 Apr 15 13:03 Dynagen.app
Here's the commands ...
chown <your-name-here>:<your-name-here> Dynagen.app
chmod +x Dynagen.app
Now, when it comes to running a script from the windows box
that'll login to and, launch all of this ...that's another
matter.
But ... If you have cygwin installed on your windows box,
you can ssh to your mini-mac and use the '-X' option. This
will cause the xterm windows to open on your local box's
desktop.
As a test, make an ssh connection to the mini and run
xterm &
Remember, your local box has to be running 'X'. You do that
on windows with cygwin.

Quoting Kelly Scroggins <kelly@cliffhanger.com>:
I run dyamips and dynage on my Macbook Pro. I use scripts
from the command line to start the labs.
There are two scripts that live in the lab directory. Once
starts dyanmips and dynagen. The other calls the shell
scripts that start the terminal windows and telnets to each
router.
There are several other scripts (the "shell" scripts) that
actually do the work of telneting to the routers and
configuring the xterm windows.
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# This script will start dynamips and dynagen
#
# This script is kept in the lab directory.
#!/bin/sh
/bin/dynamips -H 7200 &
/bin/dynamips -H 7201 &
sleep 2
cd /Applications
Dynagen.app/Contents/MacOS/Dynagen
/Users/kelly/dynamips-dynagen/labs-dynamips/vpn-bgp/vpn-bgp.net
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# This script is calling other 'shell' scripts (below).
# Those 'shell' scripts start an x-term window for each
# router and connect to the routers.
#
# I keep this script in the directory the lab is in. And it
# only contains the lines for the routers in this lab's
# topo.
#
#
# The x-term windows are opened in the order of
# the router numbers (i.e, r1, r2, etc), and
# positioned on the screen so that each one can be
# seen.
#!/bin/sh
/<path-to-script>/r1.sh
sleep 1
/<path-to-script>/r2.sh
sleep 1
/<path-to-script>/r3.sh
sleep 1
/<path-to-script>/r4.sh
sleep 1
/<path-to-script>/r5.sh
sleep 1
/<path-to-script>/r6.sh
sleep 1
# ----------------------------------------------------------
# Here are all of the "shell" scripts, which are called by
# the script above.
#
# There scripts for r1 - r16. There are also scripts for
# each backbone router (bb1,2.3) and switch (ie-sw1,2,3)
# Save each of the following lines to a seperate script.

I guess it was last weekend or so when I posed the question of how to
integrate physical switches and a Dynamips server for IEWB
topologies. Brian Dennis chimed in and suggested using a Mac Mini
(w/ 2 BG RAM, default is only 1 GB, and a 2 GHz Duo Core proc) and a
bunch of USB-Eth converters, which I thought was downright
ingenious. So I ordered the Mini and went out and bought a couple of
USB hubs and a mess of converters. I thought I ordered the switches
too, but that's another story. Anyway, for anyone interested in my
experiences thus far, see this post on the board:
http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=125674&t=125674
I'm happy to try to answer any questions, with the understanding that
I don't yet have the switches (shooting for Tues now). I do at least
have Dynamips up and running on the Mini, and the above should give a
good feel for performance on this machine.
Regards all,
Scott
