Re: GNS3 Issues during PfR Lab

I use a real router as my frame-switch... I wrote the config and just paste it
in when I start up the router's so there is no question about which DLCI I am
using or where its switching to!

I have configured PfR using all IGPs, BGP and Static and all work as the WB
states it should. I am using a Mac Pro and running 11 routers (3745) and my
CPU never gets over 35% no matter what I am working on.

Your computer should be more than sufficient to do what you are trying to do.
I would guess that it's just an issue with GNS3 and if it continues just rent
some rack time... Since you are using INE WBs, you can get a 6 hour session at
www.racktimerentals.com for $15.00! I have had nothing but good luck with them
and am in no way affiliated with them! Just a thought!

ping another interface on the same switch, same subnet until I shut everything
down "Closed GNS3 and reopened the topology" and then pasted the configs back
in and it worked fine from then on! It was the exact same config I pasted in
before but 2 hours later! :)
