Re: Idle-max value in Dynamips

I'm using GNS3 and I usually have to readjust idle pc especially on
switches. Also usually loading the initial config files I had to modify .net
file to make it work right for the interface mappings. I alway's hear Narbik
labs are good but haven't had a chance to get to them. I have real lab as
well as GNS3 for INE and it seems to work ok so far.
