From mmliac in hacki forum :
I have tested trunking between two 3660 with NM-16ESW and it works fine.
Connected 3 Wmware computers on each side in 2 different vlans.
Vlan information is being transferred from the VTP server to the VTP client.I am using Vmware Workstation 5.0 and Dynamips is running on the host computer
Heres step by step configure vlan on vmware and dynamips :
Start by configuring new virtual interfaces in Vmware.
The window Virtual Network Editor should open.
Chose [Host Virtual Adapters]
Press the [Add] button and chose witch “network†card to add.
Do not choose VMnet0 VMnet1 and VMnet8.
Add as many cards you need for your lab.
Press [Ok]
They should come up as host only in [Summary]
Restart your computer.
Install Windows XP in Vmware and clone as many as you need.
In Vmware press edit virtual machine settings
Choose Ethernet
Press Custom Specific Network and choose the virtual network card you want to use for that Vmware computer.
Start Vmware computer and configure IP settings.
Configure IP settings on the corresponding Virtual network card on the real computer.
I have done it like this
VMnet card on host Network card on Wmware computer
VMnet Card IP Computer IP
VMnet2 192.168.20.101/24 XP1 192.168.20.201/24
VMnet3 192.168.20.102/24 XP2 192.168.20.202/24
VMnet4 192.168.20.103/24 XP3 192.168.20.203/24
And so on…..
Now we have to configure Dynamips
This is the .net file I have used
# Test 3660 Switch
[localhost]
[[3660]]
image = C:\Programfiler\Dynamips\images\Your image file
ram = 160
disk0 = 64
mmap = false
ghostios = True
idlepc = Your Idle PC data
################# Router R1 #################
[[ROUTER R1]]
model = 3660
slot1 = NM-16ESW
# VMnet2
f1/0 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{Your card ID*}
# VMnet3
f1/1 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{Your card ID*}
# VMnet4
f1/2 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{Your card ID*}
# Trunk
f1/15 = R2 f1/15
################# Router R2 #################
[[ROUTER R2]]
model = 3660
slot1 = NM-16ESW
# VMnet5
f1/0 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{ Your card ID*}
# VMnet6
f1/1 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{ Your card ID*}
# VMnet7
f1/2 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{ Your card ID*}
* To find out Your card id use network device list program
Time to configure the router/switch Router1
Configure the router as VTP server
Router1#Vlan database
Router1(vlan)#vtp server
Router1(vlan)#vtp domain test
Router1(vlan)#vtp password test
Add 2 new Vlans
Router1(vlan)#vlan 2 name A
Router1(vlan)#vlan 3 name B
Router1(vlan)#apply
Router1(vlan)#exit
Configure the interfaces in different vlans
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet1/0
Router1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Router1(config-if)# duplex full
Router1(config-if)# speed 100
Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet1/1
Route1r(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Router1(config-if)# duplex full
Router1(config-if)# speed 100
Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet1/2
Router1(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
Router1(config-if)# duplex full
Router1(config-if)# speed 100
Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Router1(config)#interface FastEthernet1/15
Router1(config)#switchport mode trunk
Router1(config-if)# no shutdown
Time to configure the router/switch Router2
Configure the router as VTP client
Router2#Vlan database
Router2(vlan)#vtp client
Router2(vlan)#vtp domain test
Router2(vlan)#apply
Router2(vlan)#exit
Configure the interfaces in different vlans
Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet1/0
Router2(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Router2(config-if)# duplex full
Router2(config-if)# speed 100
Router2(config-if)# no shutdown
Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet1/1
Router2(config-if)# switchport access vlan 2
Router2(config-if)# duplex full
Router2(config-if)# speed 100
Router2(config-if)# no shutdown
Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet1/2
Router2(config-if)# switchport access vlan 3
Router2(config-if)# duplex full
Router2(config-if)# speed 100
Router2(config-if)# no shutdown
Router2(config)#interface FastEthernet1/15
Router2(config)#switchport mode trunk
Router2(config-if)# no shutdown
This worked fine for me.
I use Vmware 5.0 and Dynamips is not running in Vmware but on the host computer.
I hope this will help some one.
