CCIE Security vLab: Linux Base System Preparation


Linux Base System Preparation: 

  • Create a Linux Virtual Machine on the Virtualization Software (either VMWare or Virtualbox)

  •  Install CentOS on the newly created VM:
Goto your CCIE Security Working Directory (mine is /usr/ccie)
mkdir base – will hold all operating systems
mkdir topo – will hold all topologies
mkdir working – working directory for dynamips
mkdir src – will hold all downloaded source code, scripts and rpms

  • Download Dynamips 0.2.8-RC2 in src directory, compile and install from source. Some Library dependencies need to be resolved.
o   It can be installed also from RPM, google for dynamips-0.2.8RC2-1.i386.rpm
o   You can also download compatible binary, google for dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-amd64.bin
  • Download QEMU 0.11.0 in the src directory, compile and install from source. Resolve if any library dependencies arise.
