To determine the "idle PC", start normally the emulator with your Cisco IOS image, and a totally IOS empty configuration ( although not mandatory, this will give better re ‐ sults ). This implies that you can run a larger number of instances per real machine. idle - pc Set the idle PC ( default : disabled ) The "idle PC" feature allows you to run a router instance without having a 100 % CPU load. txt ) - j Disable the JIT compiler, very slow - exec - area Set the exec area size ( default : 64 Mb ) The exec area is a pool of host memory used to store pages translated by the JIT ( they contain the native code corresponding to MIPS code pages ). l Set logging file ( default is dynamips_log. You can connect directly to the TCP control port with telnet, or use dynagen ( 1 ), dynagui ( 1 ) that will pass commands transparently. The hypervisor mode of dynamips allows you to run simultaneously many virtual router instances, and to simulate ATM, Ethernet or Frame ‐ Relay networks. OPTIONS A summary of options is included below.

Don ' t forget to set it depending on your IOS image, a c3660 image will not run on c3640 hardware and vice - versa. You can change the chassis type with "-t".

To emulate another platform, like the Cisco 3600 series, use the "-P" command line option. By default, a Cisco 7206 VXR with NPE - 200 ( 256 Mb of DRAM ) is emulated. The emulator currently supports Cisco 7200, Cisco 3745, Cisco 3725, Cisco 3600, Cisco 2691, Cisco 2600, and Cisco 1700 series. It is simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA / CCNP / CCIE exams. Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router. It uses real Cisco IOS Images, which are not included in this package.
