This is more of a test than anything else. So far I am rather happy with it.

To keep on topic – I will start ipexpert volume 2 lab 8 sometime shortly.

Hopefully if I remind myself of how thick I am by posting it here I will eventually remember

send-label on ipv4 peers for inter-as vpn
advertise sham-link loopbacks in the right vrf on the PEs rather than the default ipv4 address family *facepalm*
send-community on all peers – not just when it first asks. Subsequent peers need it too

to be continued. Time for wine.

PS Chelsea play Liverpool tonight. We better win. It is in Liverpool’s best interest to lose too. We want to stop United for surpassing their league championship record. So do it for yourselves Scousers and do the Blues a favour!

First.. a general disclaimer.

If this does not work for you, please dont ask me for tips/help/support. This is provided for information only. If this does not work for you then Im sorry. Furthermore, some of these steps may be superfluous or unnecessary but all I know is they worked. Someone else (the same guy you ask to fix (who is not me) if your install does not work) may be able to streamline this process or explain better.

OK… this is what I did:

sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev # this downloads some kind of unpacking tool

sudo apt-get source gns3 # downloads source files, probably unnecessary as I think the next step does that too, but by that stage it was too late

sudo apt-get install gns3 # does all the work
