a little step forward
| August 19th, 2008So i managed to figure out how to get the idlepc in hypervisor mode, currently my script stands such that it will take input regarding the port which dynamips has to be started , which model router you want , ram size, npe info and then then start it . i can start a couple of routers, but i havent figured out how i am going to interconnect them, i do know the steps to do it, just thinking over how to do it in menu form , already the script is more than a 100 lines, ooooh thats my first 100 line script, hehe.
well it does feel good to try something and see it work and as in the networking field once you figure out the solution, it seems awfully easy and then you feel like not doing the job in hand but sitting around and tinkering over the other possibilities of your solution. maybe I just might make it to the end of the month schedule .
currently though it doesnt read from any conf file , but that feature has to, and will be added, most probably will keep the dynagen format ( if possible ) , coz i can remember reading about some bash ini parser scripts , will check that later though.
will update with new developments tommorrow. also i was wondering if anybody would be interested in the iso without firefox, maybe a small browser like midori, the size would go down even further. anyways end of the month looks like there’s going to be a lot of activity from my end. this is really good fun.
That script will solve a lot of problems for a whole lot of folks using dynamips. Great job.
