Build your own OS10 network, for free!

I totally agree with you. Happy Learning to you all! 

This is a great way to learn networking, practice for certification exams, build experience with OS10 commands and build your own custom networks.

Happy Learning! 

Thank you Barry for your great post! 

I am excited to be recording a Listen & Learn podcast w/ you, Barry (bfosullivan) later this week for future release on our Blogs $ Podcasts board.

thanks Tim, looking forward to it 

Hi folks,

There can be quite a few steps in building your own network … so please find a short document attached that describes the steps involved in configuring a GNS3 Server VM on vSphere7 with OS 10.5.4

This is a great way to build your own learning network for free … wishing you all the best with these amazing learning blocks  … happy building !

Kind Regards,

Barry

@Dell-BarryOSullivan  interesting! I also just viewed your short videos on the same topic.

I've tried to download and successfully setup on gns3. When login console with user and pass : admin is always incorrect.

I am very happy with this bundle package. but I'm frustrated when I try to enter the console and start config. Please help @Dell-BarryOSullivan @bfosullivan 

Hi totorajo,

The default username and password for OS10 virtual switches is admin / admin

The default username and password for the GNS3 server vm is gns3 / gns3

I'll add the gns3 login details to the guide to make that clearer. I'm glad to hear your are very happy with the bundle, so many thanks for your feedback & best of luck building your own private networks

Thanks for the explanation @Dell-BarryOSullivan 
I'm trying to create a gns3 vm using virtual box and running. I access the console switch and wait until OS10 finishes. Enter user and pass : admin still not correct. Should I use a VMware ESXI VM and use a remote server?

I am attaching an attachment to my problem for evaluation.

Hi @ToroMac 
I downloaded from
https://dl.dell.com/downloads/DLD3289_Dell-EMC-SmartFabric-OS10-Version,-10.5.4.3,-GNS3-Bundle.zip

I got the link from one of the versions here
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-id/product-support/product/smartfabric-os10-emp-partner/drivers

Please tell me the file you downloaded. I've tried to change using virtualbox, vmware fusion all can't login with admin/admin.

Unsure if that is an artifact of Virtual Box or not. I don't expect that it would be. I am using GNS3 on Linux, not installed as a VM and admin/admin works for me correctly.

Do you have the link to the files which you downloaded?

Hi totorajo,

In my example, I downloaded OS10.5.4.0 and installed using a GNS3 Server vm on an ESXi Server. I agree with ToroMac, in that I don't immediately see how a different virtualization platform (VirtualBox) would cause a login issue for the OS10 appliance. 

As a test, what happens if you login as linuxadmin \ linuxadmin. Once logged in to a linux prompt type "sudo –i" & re-enter "linuxadmin" this will move you from being logged in as linuxadmin to being logged in as root user. 

Once logged in as root, type "passwd admin" to reset the password. In my screenshot example, I simply re-entered "admin" twice (despite the warning about password being too simple). As this is a test environment, obviously we'd recommend more secure non-default passwords in real/production networks.

Exit from linux mode (exit + logout) and retry logging in with the default OS10 admin account.
