Inspector :Net

Tech:Net has visited Vikingskipet for a cable inspection…

We reveal some of our… less important findings:

30 years old, but still highly applicable

The OSI (Open Source Interconnection) 7 Layer Model is 30 years old, but still highly applicable. If you don’t know it; read about it and learn it! Or maybe time for a little refresh, even if you already know about it? 🙂

Cisco + TG14 will be awesome \:D/

We got the call from Cisco who let us know that they want to continue sponsoring us with their AWESOME network equipment… which makes it possible for us to build an awesome network for everybody attending TG14 🙂

(: here are some cool Cisco-videos 🙂

TG13 goodiebag

We are legally late out with the goodiebag this year. :/

Hope you nice people can forgive us for that 🙂

It is packed and uploaded to the ftp:
ftp://ftp.gathering.org/TG/2013/Tech/TG13-netconfig.zip

We are sorry to inform that the VSS configuration fell between two stools.
If you want to learn more about VSS and configure it, look no further than here:

Status update; 400 Gigabit VPN

Thanks to all of you who were interested in the VPN.

We wished that this could have been a reality, that would have been cool.
But alas, our speculations and wishes became this years aprils fool 😛

We love you all! 😀

It’s over one year until next TG:

Emulate the TG13 network on your own computer

To help you get started on your lab environment, we built the IPv4 topology implemented at The Gathering in GNS3 for you to play with!

We did not include MPLS, VRFs and multicast in this lab configuration because it is not relevant to the CCNA objectives. The physical topology is already set up and cabled, so feel free to configure this on your own! We will upload our configs at http://ftp.gathering.org after TG13 if you want some reference.

These are the steps you need to follow in order to get this up and running on windows:

Download GNS3 from sourceforge

1. After the installation is complete, get a hold of the Cisco images. In this project, the following images were used:
2. c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.124-15.T10.image (ISP)
3. c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T14.image (everything else)

Unfortunately we cannot provide these images on our website due to licensing issues.

1. Download the GNS3 project from our FTP server, extract it and place it on your C:\ drive
   http://ftp.gathering.org/TG/2013/Tech/GNS3.zip

2. Place the Cisco IOS images in C:\GNS3\IOS\

3. Start GNS3 and make sure that you idle PC values are set. You do this by right-clicking the router after it has been powered on, and then click “idle pc”. This will make GNS3 calculate the values for you. Read more about how to do this on [http://www.gns3.net/gns3-simplest-topology/

][3]

1. Click file->open and select “C:\GNS3\The Gathering 2013\topology.net”

This should get you up and running. Have fun – and don’t be afraid to ask questions!
