Gday,
It is possible. You can build your virtual environment to connect VM routers
to the virtual switch ([[ethsw]]) and then trunk the virtual switch and the
real switch together.
I haven't done this personally but I think where you would need a fair few
real NICs is if you're trying to connect L3 ports from your real switch
directly to virtual router interfaces.
Either way there's a tool for windows that comes with the installer that
will tell you what the interface ID is that you need to define in your .net
file.
The syntax in windows is something like this for say binding a routers F0/0
interface to the NIC:
F0/0 = NIO_gen_eth:\Device\NPF_{EF749811-78DD-4B56-861C-B628836286E2}
On linux it's simpler...
F0/0 = NIO_linux_eth:eth0
Check this link out if you haven't already - I'm assuming you're using the
dynagen front-end to dynamips!

Also if you want dynagen/mips specific help I recommend checking out Hacki's
forum at http://hacki.at/7200emu/
Cheers,
Con.

Subject: interconnecting real switches with dynamips
Hello ,
Can I pipe 4 real switches to dynamips router instances? I have been reading
through the forums and tutorials but i cannot find how it is done. I want to
try to use 4 real switches and the router instances on dynamips to make them
work for the R&S workbook topology.
It would be great if you could send me a link or few hints.
thanks
Ovidiu
