= Lab Setup =

In this Hands-on we will install all dependencies and basic network design.  We will use Oracle Virtual Box and Dynagen-Dynamips software to virtualize the lab network.


Users need to connect the host PC to home network with DHCP enabled. We recommend using the wired network as much as possible.


For each User following software and files are required;

* Needs to install '''Dynapimps-Dynagen''' , '''VPC PC simulator'''  and '''Virtual Box''' 
* '''pcap''' and '''cygwin1.dll'''


We will create a entire virtual network on host machine.

> Virtualized appliances will be connected via UDP tunnels and these must be neglected for your actual physical installations.

[[span(style=color: #A00000,  '''Following settings will need to be as it is with the changes only to the specified dynamic content.''' )]]


=== Install Virtual Box ===

Install Virtual Box software with default settings, make sure you have enabled virtualization support from your host machine BIOS.

> If you have pre-installed Virtual Box in your host machines make sure they are updated to 6.x latest version


Import downloaded  OVA files into Oracle virtual box from File >  Import Appliance

While importing make sure to select '''Generate new MAC addresses for all Network Adapters''' from '''MAC Address Policy'''.


As soon as you import vm's, change your VM network connections as follows;

* '''pfSense VM'''

'''Adapter 1:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Bridged Adapter[[br]]
     Name: ![[Your Physical Adapter Name]][[br]]
     Promiscuous Mode: Allow All[[br]]
     Cable Connected

'''Adapter 2:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Generic Driver[[br]]
     Name: UDPTunnel[[br]]
     Generic Properties:[[br]]
          dest=127.0.0.1[[br]]
          dport=50000[[br]]
          sport=40000[[br]]
     Cable Connected

'''Adapter 3:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Generic Driver[[br]]
     Name: UDPTunnel[[br]]
     Generic Properties:[[br]]
          dest=127.0.0.1[[br]]
          dport=50001[[br]]
          sport=40001[[br]]
     Cable Connected

>Note down all mac addresses as we need them to decide which port connects to which network later when installing pfsense)


* '''GUI_XP VM'''

'''Adapter 1:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Generic Driver[[br]]
     Name: UDPTunnel[[br]]
     Generic Properties:[[br]]
          dest=127.0.0.1[[br]]
          dport=50003[[br]]
          sport=40003[[br]]
     Cable Connected

* '''Web Server VM'''

'''Adapter 1:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Generic Driver[[br]]
     Name: UDPTunnel[[br]]
     Generic Properties:[[br]]
          dest=127.0.0.1[[br]]
          dport=30003[[br]]
          sport=20003[[br]]
     Cable Connected

* '''Monitoring Server VM'''

'''Adapter 1:'''[[br]]
     Attached to: Generic Driver[[br]]
     Name: UDPTunnel[[br]]
     Generic Properties:[[br]]
          dest=127.0.0.1[[br]]
          dport=50004[[br]]
          sport=40004[[br]]
     Cable Connected


=== Install Dynagen ===

'''On host machines''', install Dynagen package from previously downloaded files.It will install Dynamips as well and automatically creates the desktop shortcuts.
----

'''Dynagen''' is the front end of dynamips and we have to create campus network using a text editor. The text file need to be saved with '''.net''' extension and following devices need to to be define in the text file.Save the text file as '''Campus_Nw.net'''.

* 3 x !EtherSwith Router
* 7 x Ethernet Switch
* 9 x VPCS
 

Host names of the devices are as follows,

* ESW1 :- FAC1
* ESW2:- FAC2
* ESW3:- FAC1-BLD1-FL2
* Ethernet switch-1:- FAC1-BLD1-FL1A
* Ethernet switch-2:- FAC1-BLD1-FL1B
* Ethernet switch-3:- FAC1-BLD2-FL0
* Ethernet switch-4:- FAC2-BLD1-FL1
* Ethernet switch-5:- FAC2-BLD2-FL1
* Ethernet switch-6:- FAC2-BLD2-FL3
* Ethernet switch-7:- DMZ

Use Following '''tutorial''' on '''Dynamips''' to understand how to create a simple network using '''Dynagen'''.

Use Following '''tutorial''' on '''VPC Simulator''' to understand how to create a simple network using '''VPC Simulator'''.

Then as per the given network diagram, connect your devices. Make sure you connect ports exactly as per the diagram.

> Please note that the link between pfSense and the LEARN Router nodes are for illustration purposes only. You are not allowed to connect them via connections as both of them are cloud devices. As we are directly using a bridged interface for pfSense WAN, you may use a "Drawn line" to complete the diagram.
