Dear All,
I am trying to get a topology working using Alpha 6 IOU L2 device, but actually the same issue applies to GNS3 using 3660 16ESW. Not sure whether this is a GNS "thing" or I have something wrong. It will be moved to a 6500 sup720.
I have a single device, and would like to make a connection between the global route table and a vrf.
So I would have 1 interface on global, and one interface on vrf.
In GNS, I create a topology like this:
router e1/0 - switch port #1
router e1/1 - switch port #2
Then the configuration is posted below.
Ping doesn't work, I don't even see a CDP neighbor.
I wonder if GNS supports the back2back connection (router connection to itself).
Any ideas? (theoretically it should work)
I have also tried make the interfaces e1/0 & e1/1 as the routed port, same issue. (Note that this is the only way to test it using GNS3 standard as 3660 does not support mac-address set on vlan interfaces)
