CONNECT VIRTUALBOX HOST TO CISCO ROUTER UNDER GNS3 VIRTUALBOX EDITION

GNS3 has release a new edition which is called GNS3 VirtualBox Edition . Needless to say, it supports VirtualBox (Duh!). I needed to install a VirtualBox host with Windows 2003 for testing out IPSEC with CA. Problem was understanding the new Generic Driver and how it works. Software prerequisite : GNS3 0.8.1 VirtualBox Edition [LINK] Oracle VM VirtualBox Version 4.1.6 [LINK] I was using the older version of GNS3 and VirtualBox when I was testing this. Few problem that had me running around in circles. 1. Make sure after your installation of GNS3 VirtualBox Edition, the routers are working fine. 2. GNS3 VirtualBox Edition requires VirtualBox Version 4.1 and above 3. After upgrading your VirtualBox , make sure they are able to properly. As after my upgrade, the VirtualBox was requesting to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack. When I added the VirtualHost guest on GNS and started it up, it pop up an error message Error: 209-unable to start instance. Finally, the most cryptic part. Understanding how the new Generic Driver works on GNS3 VirtualBox edition. The driver uses UDP port to communicate with the routers in GNS3 much like the VPC.

September 2012 January 2012 December 2011 VirtualBox network settings Under VirtualBox network settings : -Select the Generic Driver -Click on Advance -under General Properties you will see some parameters like dest=127.0.0.1 dport=15000 sport=20900 During the adding of VirtualBox Host to GNS3 and startup a additional network card is added with the Generic Driver. Because this situation, when the VirtualBox host loaded, it would have 2 network card attached. The router interface is sending packets via UDP port to the new Generic Driver network card #2 UDP ports. When you ping from the VirtualBox host to the router it will not work as the IP address you set previously on the host is on the 1st network card.
