<h2>Using LANforge and Netsmith to create Xorp routers.</h2> | ||
<P> | ||
LANforge is a network testing tool produced by <a href="http://www.candelatech.com">Candela Technologies</a>. | ||
It can be used for network traffic generation and network emulation (including latency, | ||
packet loss, bandwidth-constriction, etc). As part of its virtual-routing feature | ||
set, it can manage Xorp through its Netsmith GUI widget. As long as you do not | ||
attempt to generate traffic or add network impairment, you do not need any LANforge | ||
licenses. | ||
<P> | ||
<ol> | ||
<li>After booting up the Live-CD, start LANforge and the LANforge-GUI by | ||
clicking on the icons on the desktop.</li> | ||
<li> | ||
<li>Click 'Netsmith' in the Status panel of the LANforge-GUI. It will be | ||
towards the middle of the screen.</li> | ||
<li>In Netsmith, right-click to create a new Virtual Router and then | ||
drag network interfaces into the router to use them. The Virtual Router | ||
has different routing options, including OSPF, BGP, etc.</li> | ||
<li>You may need to configure the Interfaces as well..right-click on the little | ||
green or black squares in Netsmith to modify them.</li> | ||
<li>You may optionally create additional virtual routers and connections between | ||
the virtual routers. When creating connections, be sure to skip the 'B' | ||
ports and the WanLink, otherwise you will need LANforge-ICE emulation licenses | ||
for the WanLink to function.</li> | ||
<li>When satisfied, click Apply and Xorp will be (re)started with the proper config.</li> | ||
<li>The xorp config files are saved in /home/lanforge/vr_conf/ and may be useful as | ||
a starting point for more advanced xorp configurations.</li> | ||
<li>You may wish to see some of the | ||
<a href="http://www.candelatech.com/lanforge_v3/cb/lfgui_ice_cookbook.html">LANforge cookbook examples</a> | ||
for more details. These examples are tailored to using LANforge, but the ones related to routing | ||
will be using Xorp.</li> | ||
