Re: CIsco IOS XR

Cool stuff! Have just got it working with pings/OSPF between 2 XRv boxes as
well as between XRv and regular c7200, all in GNS3. See final outcome below.

Seems like there is a bit of mismatch between interface numbering for XRv
presented in GNS3 GUI vs internally on XRv. Ended up enabling all
interfaces and CDP everywhere to see what is connected to where. :-)

If we run VB manager with 2 XRv boxes launched from GNS3, we can see that
interfaces use generic UDP transport. interestingly XRv to XRv I could only
connect via EtherSwitch, whilst XRv to c7200 runs just fine across a direct
connection.

Seems like current VB host adapter is unable to communicate with XRv, it
would be a "nice to have" feature helping integrate XRv into SecureCRT type
access.

CPU footprint from 2 XRv instances running is not noticeable on my
quad-core. Memory footprint is OK too, two XRvs and GNS3 and a bunch of
office applications take up only 5Gb of RAM out of 16Gb.

OS is Win7 64 bit.
