FYI… for those with compile errors such as:
/var/tmp//cc7HB7qK.s:1328:suffix or operands invalid for `mov’
make: *** [mips64_jit.o] Error 1

I was able to compile by editing my “Makefile” file. I replaced:
DYNAMIPS_ARCH?=x86

With:
DYNAMIPS_ARCH?=amd64

Enjoy…

The ‘ symbol is incorrect. Just remove the quotes or replace it by ‘(the key beside the Enter)

Hi,

Thank you for this effective guide. I think everything is working fine. The dynamips test is successful. The problem that I have is that I can’t communicate with the console ports of the routers. This is the message that I received when try to telnet and have no response from it:

Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
Connected to Dynamips VM “R0″ (ID 6, type c2600) – Console port

Any tip please?

It’s tough to say, it really depends on the platform images you are loading but I have run 8 to 10 devices for some Equal Cost Pathing Labs
