![]() ![]() The “ACS” adapter will be used for communicating between our Windows server and “ACS 5.x” for administration purposes. Then we rename them, because we could have many of these, so we can tell them apart: This “Windows 2008 R2” sure can be physical and running on my laptop, but in my case it is virtual and running somewhere in my datacenter.įirst we add a “Microsoft Loopback Adapter” and reboot our Windows server. Let’s suppose that we have “GNS3” and “VMware Workstation” installed on our “Windows 2008 R2”. We will then try to test the authentication from this router, although with a proper routing, any device from the topology could follow the same pattern. Now we will focus on connecting NB2 router to a central AAA server for Authentication/Authorization/Accounting purposes. Man I love this concept of being virtual inside of virtual □ The funniest thing is this: I’m running this on a “Windows 2008 R2” virtual machine that is running on a “VMware ESXi 5.x” hypervisor, and my AAA server is yet another virtual machine running inside “VMware Workstation” that is installed on “Windows 2008 R2”. We could insert here Cisco ASA, Cisco IPS and even Juniper products. This illustrate how complex our topology can be. I could do a simple topology, but I picked this one for a purpose: this is my actual MPLS lab and can be considered a real world scenario. This something is Widows CA, AAA server, Linux syslog server, Windows Active Directory, … Today we will connect a Cisco network done via GNS3 and an (also) Cisco ACS 5.x for AAA purposes. In this blog we will see how to connect two worlds: VMware and Cisco. Not to mention that we can practice technologies without having or renting expensive equipment. We go on a business trip and not only we present something with the Power point, but we also demonstrate the solution. No luck with either! Let me know if you need anything further.One of the most fascinating things now days for us network/security/virtualization guys is possibility to carry our labs with us. I tried using 64bit standalone and also the default. I took me 10 mins on windows 7, taken me 5 hours and got no where so far on win 8 :(. Anyway, has anyone ever had so many god damn issues with this and windows 8? After all the mucking around, it seems the cloud no longer even displays the adapters (separate issue), its just completely greyed out. I then created a second loopback and that didnt work either. I created it by running hdwwiz and following the prompts to make 'KM-TEST loopback address'. Its just my loopback that does not seem to work. Has anyone had any issue like this on windows 8?įunnily enough, If i connect to my wireless adapter, I can ping to and from the loopback/ASA. Run as administrator and also run in compatibility mode with windows 7 etc,still not luck. Have spent quite a few hours on this reinstalling/trying different versions. The weird thing is, when I ping from CMD -> ASA, there is an ARP entry with 192.168.0.5 in the ASA, but still can not ping. I have disabled windows firewall and also removed my anti-virus, yet it still does not allow me to ping/telnet or have any kind of connection. When I did this on my windows 8 laptop, I am unable to ping the loopback from the ASA, and unable to ping the ASA from my laptop/cmd. ![]() I have this identical setup on my windows 7 (32 bit) laptop, same IP addresses etc and it works 100% fine. I bought a new laptop running Windows 8 and decided to install GNS3 and start using the ASA.Ĭloud (192.168.0.5) -> switch -> ASA (192.168.0.4)ĪSA interface 0 IP Addresses is: 192.168.0.4 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Just another one of the loopback issues )
