If you'd like someone on the forum to help you with your GNS3/Networking problem, follow these steps:
- On this forum, go to General Issues and click on New Topic
Attachment:

- Describe your problem, making sure you include your topology using one or both of the following methods:
- Method #1 - use show run from the console - This is the BEST method because someone can now re-produce your topology and it will reveal which IOS you are using
- In GNS3, find the GNS3 Console window - see the diagram below (taken from the GNS3 Network Simulation Guide) for reference

- If the console window does not appear, click View | Docks | Console
- In the Console window, type show run and hit Enter
- Select the output of the command, right-click and select Copy
- In your GNS3 posting, click on the [ code ] button from the formatting tools
- Paste in the output from the show run command. It should look something like this:
Code:
autostart = False
[127.0.0.1:7200]
workingdir = /var/folders/53/sl8_hqnj0wn3gl14tst6sw3w0000gn/T/GNS3_lrYVwb/working
udp = 10001
[[3725]]
image = /Users/chriswelsh/GNS3/Images/c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T10.image
ram = 128
idlepc = 0x60c056e4
sparsemem = True
ghostios = True
[[ROUTER R1]]
model = 3725
console = 2101
aux = 2501
f0/0 = R2 f0/0
[[ROUTER R2]]
model = 3725
console = 2102
aux = 2502
f0/0 = R1 f0/0
Or if using GNS3 v1, like this:
Code:
{
"name": "unsaved",
"resources_type": "local",
"topology": {
<...large snip...>
"servers": [
{
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"id": 1,
"local": true,
"port": 8000
}
]
},
"type": "topology",
"version": "1.0beta2"
}
- Method #2 - screen dump - worth doing even if you have already done the show run
- In GNS3, make sure your topology is showing interface labels [Select View | Show/Hide interface labels. You may have to move the labels a little so they are clearly visible - be careful. Make sure you put the right label next o the right interface]
- Take a picture of your screen
- On a PC, hit Alt+PrintScreen, open Paint and paste in your screendump. Save your file
- On a Mac, Hit Shift+Ctrl+Cmd+4 - when the crossbar appears click and drag a rectangle to select your screendump. Open the Preview app, select File|New from clipboard . Save your picture
- Back at the post where you are describing your problem, look at the area UNDER you post where the (hard to read) Upload Attachment section is.
- Click on [Choose File], find the file you saved earlier and click [OK] - but that's not all
- Now you ALSO have to click [Add the File] - still not done

- Finally, you have to realise that your cursor will have been moved in the above steps. Place your cursor back where you want the picture to go and look just under the section where you are typing and click [Place inline]

- Your picture should now be in your post
- If your problem involves configs, you MIGHT want to include them, or include parts of them.
- Before posting make sure you read How to Ask for Help
- Before posting, RE-READ your posting, putting yourself in the mind of someone else reading it. Have you made assumptions that another person might miss? Have you included details that are not relevant to the problem?
Note: This post was inspired by the following post - which does a pretty good explanation, but no screendump or
show run:

Hi All !
I am setting up HSRP routing lab in GNS3. I am using 2 multilayer switches and 2 access switches with IOS 3700. I have created 5 VLANS in the network. Every thing has been set-up successfully. HSRP functionality is fine on multilayer switches. It has been tested and verified. Ip routing has been activated on multilayer switches and I am getting all the VLAN interfaces in routing tables of both multilayer switches.
After all my efforts I could not get VLAN routing working. All the nodes in the VLANs are able to ping the related virtual gateway configured on the HSRP (Multilayer Switches) but not able to ping the host in the other VLAN. Please guide me what I am missing here. I really appreciate the response.
Regards
