I was very familiar with this stuff years ago… but I think I may have forgotten some basics. I'm running two images of NX-OS in GNS3. I've configured both as:
// Router 1
interface Ethernet2/1
ip address 192.168.2.101/24
no shutdown
and
// Router 2
interface Ethernet2/1
ip address 192.168.2.102/24
no shutdown
However, I can't ping each other. sh int status
shows the links as connected:
Eth2/1 -- connected routed full 1000
Results of the ping though are:
N7K-2(config)# ping 192.168.2.101

--- 192.168.2.101 ping statistics ---
5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.00% packet loss
This isn't surprising, considering show cdp neigh
is empty. I just can't figure out why.

Problem ended up actually being an error in GNS3:
Unable to create NIO Ethernet for bridge ethernet0.vnet
The solution here was to run the following command (as admin):
sc config npf start= auto
and restart the computer.More details on the bug report: https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/issues/840
