Alcatel-Lucent Virtualized Simulatoron GNS3
Posted onDecember18, 2014 by RadovanBrezulaUpdated on January 19, 201725 Comments
The Alcatel-Lucent virtualized Simulator (vSim) is a virtualization-ready version of SR OS called SR OS-
VM. Thisnew operatingsystem is designed to run in a virtual machine (VM) on a genericIntel x86 server.
In control and management plane aspects, the vSim is functionally and operationally equivalent to an
Alcatel-Lucent hardware-based SR OS router.The vSim is intended to be used as a laboratory tool to fully
simulate the control and management plane of an SR OS node. The vSim is not intended to be used in
a production network environment and the forwarding plane is limited to 250 pps per interface.
Furthermore, without a license file it will run for 1 hour before reloading.
Host Software and Hardware Requirements
 Linux x86-64
 Qemu emulator version 2.8.0 (qemu-system-x86_64 or i386)
 GNS3 version 1.5. or later
 RAM - at least 4 GB
 CPU with hardware virtualization support (VT-x or AMD-V)
Virtual Machines Software and Hardware Requirements
 TiMOS-B-13.0.R4 both/i386 ALCATEL SR 7750
 RAM 2048 MB, CPU x86-32
 Qemu additional parameters: -nographic-enable-kvm
1. Installation Steps
Extract image from the zip file.
$ unzip TiMOS-SR-13.0.R4-vm.zip

Now a virtual disk sros-vm.qcow2 is extracted. To start Qemu virtual machine use the command:
$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2048MB -enable-kvm alcatel-sros-vm-13.0.R4.qcow2
-serial telnet:localhost:3366,server,nowait -smp 2
Telnet to a serial port of virtual machine with the command:
$ telnet localhost 3366
Login with username admin and password admin.
Check cards that are presented presented in a system with the command:
A:vRR# show card state
Picture 1 - Card iom3-xp-b is Detected but not Provisioned
Card IOM3-XP-B is equipped in slot 1 of chasis but it is not provisioned. Thus we mustto provision it for
the slot 1.
*A:vRR# configure card 1 card-type "iom3-xp-b"
Picture 2 - Card iom3-xp-b Provisioned in Slot 1
Card iom3-xp-b accepts up to two Media Dependent Adapters (MDAs). There is a one unprovisioned
module m5-1gb-sfp-b equipped in port one of card iom3-xp-b that provides five Ethernet
interfaces. We have to specify slot and mda type and save configuration.
*A:vRR# configure card 1 mda 1 mda-type "m5-1gb-sfp-b"
*A:vRR# admin save
Now we can connect vSIM virtual machine to connect to GNS3.

2. Connecting vSIM to GNS3
We are going to create a simple topology in order to check network connectivity between vSIM ports and
Core Linux hosts.
Picture 3 - Port Connectivity Testing Topology
They are six Linux Core hosts connected to the ports of virtual service router. A table mappingvSIM ports
and how they are presented in TiMOS configuration is following:
Timos ----- vSIM ports
bof ----------- eth0
1/1/1 --------- eth1
1/1/2 --------- eth2
1/1/3 --------- eth3
1/1/4 --------- eth4
1/1/5 --------- eth5
2.1 Configure GNS3 Qemu VMs Preferences
Navigate to Edit -> Preferences -> QEMU VMs and configure VM parametersaccordingto the picture
below.

Picture 4 - GNS3 Qemu VM Configuration
2.2 IP Address Configuration for Control Proccessor Module (CPM) Management Ethernet
Interface
The interface eth0 is connected to CPM management interface. Use BOF command-line interface (CLI) to
configure IP address for CPM interface.
*A:vRR# bof address 10.10.10.1/24
Save bof configuration.
*A:vRR# bof save
To pingan IP addressof the host connected to a management interface of vSIM issue the command:
*A:vRR# ping 10.10.10.2 router "management"
The config file of vSIM router can be displayed with the command:
*A:vRR# admin display-config
2.3 Linux Core Configuration - PC0
Login with username tc. Password is not set.
tc@box:~$ sudo su
root@box:~# echo "ifconfig eth0 10.10.10.2 netmask255.255.255.0" >> /opt/bootlocal.sh
root@box:~# echo "route add default gw 10.10.10.1" >> /opt/bootlocal.sh
root@box:~# /opt/bootlocal.sh
root@box:~# /usr/bin/filetool.sh -b
2.4 IP Address Configuration for Port 1/1/1
*A:vRR# configure port 1/1/1 no shutdown
*A:vRR# configure router interface "PC1" address192.168.1.1/24
*A:vRR# configure router interface "PC1" port 1/1/1

Note: The interface Ethernet 1 is represented bythe port 1/1/1 in TiMOS configuration.
tc@box:~$ sudo su
tc@box:~$ sudo su
2.8. IP Address Configuration for Port 1/1/3
tc@box:~$ sudo su
tc@box:~$ sudo su
tc@box:~$ sudo su
2.14 Additional Configuration
Hostname
A:vRR# configure system name Timos-I

*A:Timos-I#password

Save Configuration
*A:Timos-I# admin save
2.15 Testing Connectivity between vSIM Ports
Login to PC1 and ping IPaddressof PC2, PC3, PC4 and PC5. Asthe hosts have default gatewayconfigured,
ping should be successful.
Picture 5 - Testing Connectivity Between vSIM Ports
3. Testing OSPF MD5 Authentication Between Cisco CSR1000v and Alcatel-Lucent
vSIM
In thislab we will focus on configuration and testingauthentication in OSPF routingprotocol runningon
Cisco CSR1000v router and Alcatel-Lucent virtual simulator.
Installation and configuration of Cisco Cloud Service Router CSR1000v in GNS3 is explained here.

Picture 6 - OSPF Authentication Testing Topology
Note: A Link labeled as eth0 and connected to the first available port on CSR1000v is presented as
interface GigabitEthernet 1 in CSR1000vconfiguration. Similarly, a link labeled as eth1 and connected to
the second available port on Alcatel-Lucent vSIM is presented as port 1/1/1 in TiMOS CLI.
3.1 OSPF Configuration on CSR1000v
Password is set to lab123 and it must match between two OSPF neighbors.

Note: If you want to enable MD5 authentication for all interfaces in area 0, add the command:
CSR1000v-I(config-router)#area 0 authentication message-digest
3.2 OSPF Configuration Alcatel-Lucent Virtual Simulator
*A:vRR#configure system name Timos-I
*A:Timos-I# configure port 1/1/1 no shutdown
*A:Timos-I# configure router interface toCSR address 192.168.1.2/30
*A:Timos-I# configure router interface "toCSR" port 1/1/1
*A:Timos-I# configure router interface lo0 address 10.10.10.2/30
*A:Timos-I# configure router interface "lo0" loopback
*A:Timos-I# configure router ospf router-id 2.2.2.2
*A:Timos-I# configure router ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface "toCSR" interface-type point-to-point
*A:Timos-I# configure router ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface "lo0"
A:Timos-I# configure router ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface "toCSR" authentication-type message-digest
*A:Timos-I# configure router ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface "toCSR" message-digest-key1 md5 "lab123"
Note: vSIM has the maximum transmission unit (MTU) set to 8936 Bytes for Ethernet interfaces by
default. The default MTU value for CSR 1000v Ethernet interfaces is 1500 Bytes. In order to establish
OSPF neigborship between two routers, MTU must match on both sides of link. For this reason we must
configure MTU 1500 Bytes for vSIM port 1/1/1.
However as it is shown from the debug command enabled on Cisco, CSR 1000v continues complaining
about smaller size of MTU. The MTU received in OSPF packets from the neighbor vSIM router is 1486
Bytes. It causes that routers are not fully adjacent and they stay in EXCHANGE neighbor state.
CSR1000v-I#debug ip ospf adj
*Dec 16 19:17:24.428:OSPF-1 ADJGi1: RcvDBD from 2.2.2.2 seq 0x1Eopt 0x42 flag0x7 len 32 mtu 1486
state EXCHANGE
*Dec 16 19:17:24.428: OSPF-1 ADJ Gi1: Nbr 2.2.2.2 has smaller interface MTU
ChangingMTU parameter to1514 Bytes for Ethernet port 1/1/1 on vSIM helpsto solve the issue.

*A:Timos-I# configure port 1/1/1 ethernet mtu 1514
3.3 OSPF MD5 Authentication Trobleshooting
We are going to check if routers are fully adjacent and if OSPF routes are presented in both routers's
routing tables.
3.3.1 Checking OSPF on CSR1000v
CSR1000v-I#show ip ospf neighbor
Picture 7 - Full OSPF Neigborship Established
CSR1000v-I#show ip route
Picture 8 - Routing Table of Cisco CSR1000v
3.3.2 Checking OSPF on Alcatel-Lucent vSIM

A:Timos-I# show router route-table

i have simulated alcatel in gns3 in a different manner, i did not use linux as host, but i getting a
problem that when alcatel router is directly connectedwith other router, they do not ping each
other. can you tell me what is problem.
i know that alcatel ethernet 0 is used for administrative purpose, so i connected router with
ethernet 1, but still there is not ping.

Hello guys,
I did this simulation in a Windows 7 laptop, VM started and is working ok.The only problem I am
facing right now is that when I stop and start again the VM the configuration file was in 0 bytes so
VM start withno configuration.
Have you seen same behavior?
If so, is there any way to solve this problem?
I am using i386 version of qemu
Thanks is advance foryour help!

Few questions if any one can help?
1) To run a multi-vendor environment, lets say Cisco, Juniper and Alcatel together on a system,
what is the best recommendation in terms of hardware that can support a network topology of 15
to 20 multi-vendor devices? Would the hardware resources be enough using desktop or best option

is to setup a server to meet the processing and memory needs for this kind of topology?
2) what about using Linux based system ?
3) Can i configure Alcatel and juniper based QoS on these virtual devices and capture logs ?
thanks a million forguiding me on this in advance.

I have tried but have not succeeded in getting twoALu routers to ping each other on port 2 (1/1/1).
I have tried removing the link shutting down re-adding the link and restarting. Various switches,
saving the project and nothing seems to work.
Im running GNS3 on Yosemite on a Macbookpro.........Any ideas gratefully accepted.

Hello There, I had the same experience, i suggest do the
following:
1) First setup the links (use port 1/1/1 or above, don’t use e0).
2) Then run these devices and see if you can ping across.

Hi Martin,
I suggest delete the exiting TiMOS image in GNS3 and
upload it again...

Create a new topology withonly tworouters and setup a
single link between them and then run both routers to
see if youcan run a ping....
If it still doesn’t work,then I am sure yourGNS setup
might have issue somewhere else...
I had the similar situation in the beginning, as I was
using laptop with8BG RAM and I could not setup two
routes correctly evenfor ping.... i had to buy extra RAM
before I was able torun ALU routers on GNS.... I maybe
wrong, however,it is always good to checkwhat is your
cpu and memory utilization state when yourun only two
ALU routers...?
As far as saving configuration on ALU devices is concern,
you can'tsave configurations on these routers unless
you have Alcatel'slicensed TiMos. I have contacted
Alcatel on several occasions during the last 4 months for
trying to purchase licensed virtualized TiMOs firmware;
however,they did not even bother replying me back! For
saving a co0nfiguration, there are some workaround
solutions out there, howeverthey are not very efficient
and truly don’t workas they should!
Thanks,
Aman

Hi, I am trying setup my SROS on GNS3, I already install the QEMU VM, and its working fine, (Itboot,
and I can open the console, and configure the machine) , but, when I connected a link between the
TiMO and some Router and then turn on the QEMU VM (TiMO),it does not able to connect to the
console (just open the console and then close almost immediately).
I am using Linux Mint 17 on my host machine. and this is the QEMU Configuration:
4096 MB
quemu-system-x86_64
-nographic
Thanks in advance

Hi,
How can I use qemu (whichoptions) from a headless machine to which I connected to by SSH.
I want to use qemu monitor functionality and the devices console ports (Cisco, ALU, Core Linux)
I tried out nographic, curses, tcp::mon:stdio and they didn't workwell. :-(
I don't want VNC, too, because keyboard problems and password in qemu monitor mode.
TIA,

If you close yourSSH session, the router releases VTY
session with your PC. The router then can use the same
VTY port for the future Telnet or SSH sessions.

I was curious if the new GNS3 1.5.4 and TiMOS-B-13.0.R4 are
working together. I tested connectivity withping command
between interfaces of vSIM and Core Linux with success. I only
needed to copy & paste commands from tutorial.

How to map the interface to the GNS?
Why I see e0 & e1 port on GNS but fromcli they are 1/1/1 – 5?
e1 is 1/1/1, e2 is 1/1/2?
How to connect to another device?
Thank you very much.
