How To - Connect GNS3 to the internet in MacOSX
We have issued tutorials for connecting Windows or Linux to a physical network using gns3, but apparently, there is a little difference for MacOSX. I recently received an email from one of our readers, Ivan Pletenev. Ivandescribes how to connect GNS3 to internet through wifi-interface in MacOSX. You will find his writeup below. Thanks Ivan!
To set up this connection we need to do 2 things:
- Connect MacOSX and GNS3 through loopback-interface
- Set up NAT in MacOSX
Facebook Outage - Shown in Graph
ATLAS data to graph Facebook (AS32934) traffic with 80 ISPs around the world between 5pm September 22 and 5pm EDT today. You can see Facebook traffic plummet around 1:30pm and return shortly after 4pm. From a quick glance at the data, the outage appears to be global (impacting all of the 80 ISPs).
We have no information on the root cause (no sign of obvious BGP instability or DDoS).
Lots of speculation on twitter.

"Worst Outage in The History of Facebook" - Facebook Engineer Explains
Facebook Software Engineering Director Robert Johnson was kind enough to explain to a curious public exactly why Facebook went down earlier today, calling the mishap “the worst outage we’ve had in over four years.”
In a brief blog post, Johnson discussed today’s downtime, which began around 11:30 a.m. PST. The site wasn’t functioning again for most users until around 3 p.m. PST.
Johnson said the downtime today was caused by “an unfortunate handling of an error condition” involving an automated system designed to verify configuration values in the cache and replace invalid values with updated values from the persistent store.
How To - Make a DMG package from GNS3
This step-by-step procedure will show you how to make a DMG package from the GNS3 source code. I’ve built the package on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and used Py2app to make a Mac OS X application. Also, have a look at this article that really helped me.
This procedure worked for me, please let me know if you encounter any issue and I’ll update it. Also, please tell me if you can make it work on Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.x).
How To - Run GNS3 on Mac OS X
Here are instructions to run GNS3 from the sources (not the standalone compiled DMG version) on your favorite operating system. You will have to install or compile dependencies like Qt, Sip and PyQt. This will allow you to use the latest development version of GNS3 that you can download from http://code.gns3.net.
Method 1
- Install the Apple Devs Tools (on your Mac OS X DVD or download it on ADC account). Run and install XcodeTools.mpkg.
- Download Python 2.6 for MacOS X and install it.
- Download Qt librairies for Mac and install them.
- Download SIP, open a terminal and go in the folder where you downloaded the tar file and compile using the following commands (example for SIP 4.9.3):

How To: Emulate Cisco ASA in GNS3
In this article, I will show you how to emulate Cisco ASA using Qemu. Once again, please note that ASA is not provided and will not be. So please don’t ask. Also be aware that ASA does not 100% work in Qemu but that’s enough to play with it.
Installation
First compile and patch Qemu as you would do for running JunOS. This will give us pcap, lcap and UDP tunnels (i.e. GNS3/Dynamips connections) capabilities.
Then obtain ASA itself. If you are smart and patient you will find it. I used asa802-k8.bin for my installations. As far as I know, nobody has been able to run ASA > version 8.2 (ASA keeps rebooting).
The next step is to get an initrd and a Linux kernel (inside the initrd) from your ASA image to use them with Qemu and also fix the initrd for our needs. The initrd is zipped and archived in the ASA image, we have to extract it.
There are 2 ways, manually or using a tool I created.

Updating JunOS
You can update your version of JunOS from the CLI with the following command:
request system software add [jinstall_package]
Running your router(s)
Now you have a base olive image. Qemu allows you to use this as a base for other images and only writing the changes to your “slave” images saving on disk space! You can also use less memory for each Qemu instance.
Create a new image off of your base image. Repeat for all your routers you want to emulate:
qemu-img create -b olive-base.img -f qcow2 R1.img
Start your router and then telnet to it:

How To - Step By Step Installation of JunOS on GNS3 [Part 1]
This article explain you how to emulate Juniper JunOS on a PC using Qemu. This is an updated and enhanced version of excellent howtos from Juniper Clue and Internetwork Pro as well asHimawan Nugroho’s blog. I mainly focused on Qemu, so if you wish to install JunOS on a real PC or using VMware, please have a look at the Juniper Clue article for more information (and of course Google).
So what’s new you would say? First, I chose to use the latest version of Qemu: the 0.11.0 which supports the Intel e1000 network card emulation since version 0.10.0. and includes several fixes for it. I have modified and adapted the old patch for Qemu 0.11.0, it includes the UDP tunnel (connection to Dynamips/GNS3), PCAP and LCAP support. Also, the patch allows multicast traffic with the e1000, i82557b and i82559er Qemu emulated network cards. Moreover, this article show how to emulate JunOS on multiple operating systems: Mac OS X, Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu 9.04 without using an untrustworthy obscure binary downloaded from a forum you can’t even read the language

Top Ad networks for Publishers - Google Adsense Alternatives
I am getting a lot of emails for suggesting new ad networks. One of the reason for this is adsense is not excepting new publishers (why not sure !) may be because they have better options available for them comparatively and other is people are not making much money out of their ad networks. There is no harm in trying out new things
Fring Challenges Skype With $0.01 Per Minute VoIP Calls
The mobile voice over IP (VoIP) service Fring now allows its users to make phone calls to land line and cell phone numbers anywhere in the world with prices starting at one cent per minute. Not all calls will be that cheap. Calls to Canada start at 0.4 cents per minute, and calls to India start at 1.1 cents, for example. But it’s more competition in a very small space currently dominated by Skype and to a lesser extent Google Voice.You used to be able to make Skype calls using the Fringapplications for mobile phones like the iPhone and Android devices, but following the launch of the iPhone 4, Skype and Fring got in a bit of a scuffle and Fring users were left in the cold — no Skype access.
How To - Multiple Olives On One Box Using Vmware
Creating virtual serial ports for telnet access (so no physical com port access required)...
Having one Olive box is great for CLI familiarity but multiple Olives interacting with each other is the only way to really get to grips with the routing protocols and route filtering techniques. Once one Olive session is fully built, it's a piece of cake to mirror this so you can have 2 or 3 or more (resources dependant) on one box. The main limiting factor of this approach is the lack of physical serial ports on the server. Mine only has a single COM1. To get round this, I used the FREEWARE HW Virtual Serial Port v2.5.10 software from HW-group. Using the command line (or creating shortcuts in the Windows user profile startup folder so it was persistent), I created 3 new virtual serial ports that were setup as telnet servers (COM2 on port 2009, COM3 on port 2010, COM4 on port 2011) so I can telnet to these and be "attached" to the various Olive console ports. Yes, this does mean my doctoring of the cable above was interesting, but not entirely necessary.

How To - Installation of J-Web (Allows Web Based Administration Of Olive)
J-series Juniper routers automatically come bundled with J-Web (click here for the complete J-Web 8.3 PDF user guide - 1.81 MB). When an Olive is built, the software believes it is an M series device, and does not install J-Web, however if you have the install module, it's a piece of cake. I have installed J-web 8.3 to each of my Olive virtual machines and the process is as follows:

[How To] - Ping Your Sitemap to Google, Yahoo, and Bing
XML sitemaps inform search engines about the pages available to crawl on your website. Search engines find new pages by navigating links on websites. Sitemaps enhance search engine crawling by providing explicit information about the specific urls on your website. Sitemaps don’t ensure that your webpages will be indexed, but they typically increase both the chance and speed of indexing.
If you have fresh content on your blog or website, it is prudent to make sure the search engines know about this to get the content indexed as soon as possible. One way this is done is by pinging your xml sitemap. Although there are many search engines and services you can ping your sitemap to, make sure you concentrate on the big 3: Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
