Hi,

I am attempting to use XRv in GNS3 on Mac and i'm running into an issue when i try to console. The VM appears to be working properly but when i go to console i get the following error in my terminal:

216-163-237-24:~ computer$ echo -n -e "\033]0;XRv2\007"; telnet %h %p
%h: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

I would guess that the problem is telnet isn't specifying the host/port but I don't know a ton about GNS3 and i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks!

Have you tried the netcat method? http://forum.gns3.net/topic8117.html

I followed those instructions however the file path is too long for me to fully get the information (there is no option to scroll when I click on the field):

I would recommend you change the VBoxwrapper working directory to something other than the default /tmp directory. For example, /Users/Mud/Documents/GNS3/tmp. It will make it easier for you to browse the contents in the GUI.

To solve your immediate issue of finding the pipe file, run the following command from the terminal:

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to try and help me, i really appreciate it!

Oddly enough that is the exact path my working directory is set to:



When i run the command you suggested i get the following results:



I'm not sure what it means, but i AM an administrator on this computer.

Cool. Then all you need to do is change the path value for the command:

The find command should output the fully qualified path for the file. You would then use that as the value for the nc command. For example, it may look something like this:

Alternatively, you can also research the GNS3 VirtualBox console server (for remote access) feature. I've never used it myself.

FYI: If you aren't tied to VirtualBox, I have multiple VMware Fusion w/ GNS3 posts on my blog (listed in my sig block) that will get you on your way. I currently have Cisco IOS XRv running in multiple GNS3 labs with seamless integration.

Ohh man, goin to your blog now! VMWare Fusion is my preference (not that i'm any better w/that than VirtualBox). Thanks for the tip!
