HowTo: "Error: 209-unable to start instance"
Nearly everybody who is new to dynamips/dynagen is experiencing "Error: 209". But it's not a miracle to avoid this issue and get the lab loaded.
This error message means that dynamips/dynagen is not able to load the IOS which is specified in the net-file.
dynagen output:
| Code: |
| Error: 209-unable to start instance |
dynamips output:
| Code: |
load_elf_image: open: No such file or directory
C3600 'ghost-c3640-......': failed to load Cisco IOS image |
dynagen expects the correct IOS file specified within the generel router section of the net-file. Therefore you have to edit the "image ="-line
The sample net-files already contain an image in this line, e.g. sample1.net:
| Code: |
| image = \Program Files\Dynamips\images\c7200-jk9o3s-mz.124-7a.image |
dynamips/dynagen will only load your lab, if exactly that IOS image resides at the specified location. Otherwise you'll get the well-known "Error: 209".
If you want to use another IOS please change that line and add the drive letter (for Windows user):
| Code: |
| image = c:\Program Files\Dynamips\images\c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin |
Linux user do the same according to there file-system, eg.:
| Code: |
image = /opt/7200-images/c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-5a.bin
If you've specified a IOS file that really exists at the given location, you won't have any "Error: 209" issues.
