How to configure Securecrt with GNS3 on Microsft Windows Vista 32-bit - RubMinds Techblog
You need GNS3/dynamips, Microsoft Win Vista 32/64 or Windows 7, administrative rights and a fair knowledge of ICT.
- install gns3
- add ios image
- install securecrt full version 6.x
- create securecrt.vbs script file using ANSI (not text) and save into GNS3 folder
---------securecrt.vbs-----------------------
#$Language="VBScript"
#$Interface="1.0"
Sub main
crt.window.caption = crt.arguments(0)
End Sub
---------------------------------------------
- change default telnet command to:
start C:\progra~1\vandyk~1\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE /script C:\progra~1\gns3
\dynamips\securecrt.vbs /arg %d /T /telnet %h %p & Sleep1
- leave default shell checked
- change localhost to 127.0.0.1 in hypervisors
- ensure external hypervisors is set to 127.0.0.1 as well.
- open notepad as admin, browse to \Windows\System32\etc\hosts file
change this line (note the pound):
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost
to
127.0.0.1 localhost
#::1 localhost
Start the router, click console or cli and poof, you should see tab-ready SecureCRT.
Remember the CCIE lab uses SecureCRT so it's wise to lab with it.
All the best.
