GNS3/dynamips

[feature-request] Mgmt.iface for Cisco Routers (Sliprt/NAT)

Opened this issue · 0 comments

I suggest to add management interface to Cisco Routers, like it is done for VirtualBox.

It will allow to stealth-connect to the routers via "backdoor" via TCP/IP, HTTP, telnet and SNMP from the host machine (GNS3) to manage them, and even allows to change IP addresses from GNS3 GUI itself.
It will also allow to "simulate traffic", i.e. send "ping" from one device to the next via this backdoor, all without interfering with the user's console port.

This will require us to patch Dynamips emulator with NAT/slirp module. This networking module, written in C, originally comes from Qemu, but it was ported to other emulators also (VDE, Bochs and VirtualBox).
