Now to do the integration with Janus 3 on my VM and this is my NPM VM I'm going to change the network
adapter to use a VM net one host only on my physical machine.
I have two VM net adapters a VM net one and VM net eight.
Previously my virtual machine was bridged to the physical adapter but to allow it to be controlled by
genie 3 I'm going to change it to VM net one host only.
I'm also going to change firewall settings and turn off the firewall so that I can ping the virtual
machine from my genius three routers.
That'll just make it easier in the lab to do testing.
What I also need to do is shut down the virtual machine so that genius 3 can control it.
So once again I've shut the machine down I've gone to network adapter settings and set it to use host
only and I've disabled to the firewall what I'll do now is take a snapshot so that I can revert to it
if there are any problems.
So NPM installed I did that quickly and made a mistake so I'll go to VM snapshot manager and change
the name to NPM installed.
So now let's configure genius 3 and do the integration so I'm going to startup genius 3 in windows in
this case because I'm using the genius 3 VM it boots up so you can see my VM is booting up it's now
successfully booted up and genius 3 then tells me I can create a project someone to call this NPM 1
now to integrate the NPM virtual machine with genius 3 I need to go to edit preferences in genius 3
and I'm going to select VM where VM is because I'm using VM wi workstation rather than virtual box I'm
going to click new and in the VM list I can see my NPM virtual machine I'm going to click finish and
now I'm going to click edit go to network and check this option allowed genius 3 to use any configured
VM way adapter I'm going to leave other settings at their defaults and click okay and click Okay so
what I've now done is integrated NPM with genius 3 and I can bold a topology consisting of Rodders and
NPM in the next few videos I'm going to show you how to integrate genius 3 and NPM.
Now in this example I'm using the genius 3 VM because it's the recommended way of running genius 3 it
also makes sense in this example because I'm running NPM on a Windows 7 VM within VM where workstation.
So I've got both NPM running and windows and genius three running within the genus 3 VM within VM where
workstation the initial topology that we're going to build consists of three routers connected via serial
interfaces and we'll advertise right between these writers using each or P will also configure an out
of band management network and connect NPM to the outer band ethernet network to allow NPM to manage
to the writers so to bolt our genius 3 topology.
I'm going to drag three routers to the workspace
as well as Dragon Ethernet switch to the workspace and I'm going to run to these in the genius three
VM
I'll cable up the routers using the serial interfaces
so connect the rudders via their serial interfaces I'll zoom in and let's view the interface labels
serial zero is connected to serial zero on write a to serial zero and write a one is connected to serial
zero on Rider 2 serial 0 1 is connected to serial 0 0 on Route 3 will also connect first Ethan it interfaces
on each rotted to the Ethernet switch this is gonna be used for our management network
so there are interfaces on the switch and interfaces on the routers I'll now bring NPM into the topology
and I'm going to connect that via the Ethan it interface to port for on the Ethernet switch
so this allows NPM to manage the rod is using the outer band management network I'll configure the routers
with IP addresses on the serial interfaces first and enable routing and then I'll configure the management
interface.
