gns3 Configurations are deleted/are not saved when restarted

Probably you are using gns3 for the fist time and getting this problem! that when you make you topology, make all configurations, save it and when you restart the gns3 all the configurations are gone away, and only the topology diagram is there?


Don’t worry it is because you are missing one step while saving your Router’s configurations in gns3, that is you have to export the configurations after that you have to save the gns3 file.
Saving Router’s Configurations in gns3 is a two step process

1. Click the FILE menu and Click the import/Export, save the file where you want or choose the default location
2. Click the FILE menu and Click Save.
Step are also shown in the Snap below, Please click to maximize it.

How to import Putty Saved Connections to mRemoteNG

Just started using mRemoteNG and its being very cool to connect to different remote connection with different protocols e.g Window Remote Desktop, VNC to Linux, SSH, HTTP connection etc. from a single application. As new user I configured some remote desktop connection which was quite easy to figure out. But when I wanted to add SSH connections, it came in my mind to import all of the saved connections in the putty. But I couldn't figure it out how can it be done, though it was quite easy and here are the steps. Open your mRemoteNG Create a folder if you want segregation of multiple networks Create a new connection Enter the IP address of remote server under connection in Config pane Under the config pane, select protocol " SSH version 2 ".  Once you select protocol to SSH version 2 you are given option to import putty sessions, as shown in the snap below. In the above snap, I have imported CSR-AWS session from my saved sessions in Putty.

BGP Soft Reconfiguration vs. Route Refresh: Key Differences and Best Practices

In BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), managing route updates and reapplying new policies can sometimes be challenging, especially if you want to avoid resetting the BGP session. Two methods allow you to update routing policies without tearing down the session: BGP Soft Reconfiguration and BGP Route Refresh . While both methods serve the same purpose, they work differently and have distinct impacts on your router's resources. This post explains the key differences between Soft Reconfiguration and Route Refresh , when to use each, and why Route Refresh is preferred in most modern networks. 1. What is BGP Soft Reconfiguration? BGP Soft Reconfiguration is an older method of applying new policies (like route maps, filters, or prefix lists) without resetting the BGP session. It works by storing a local copy of all the routes received from a BGP neighbor before applying inbound policies. This local route copy allows the router to reprocess the routes when a policy change occurs. How So...

AS Path Prepending: Controlling Inbound Traffic in BGP

AS Path Prepending is a BGP feature used to make a specific path appear less preferred by artificially lengthening the AS path. This is done by adding your AS number multiple times to the AS path. It is a common method to influence inbound traffic from external networks. Longer AS Path = Less preferred route . Example Scenario : You have two ISPs: ISP1 (through CE1) and ISP2 (through CE2). You want inbound traffic from the internet to prefer ISP1 over ISP2. Network Topology : CE1 (connected to ISP1): 10.0.1.1/30 CE2 (connected to ISP2): 10.0.2.1/30 iBGP Router (Internal) connected to both CE1 (10.0.1.2/30) and CE2 (10.0.2.2/30). Configuration on CE2 (AS Path Prepending to Make ISP2 Less Preferred) : Create a route map to prepend your AS path multiple times for CE2: route-map PREPEND_AS permit 10 set as-path prepend 65001 65001 65001 Apply this route map to the neighbor in the BGP configuration for CE2: router bgp 65001 neighbor 10.0.2.1 remote-as 65002 neighbor 10.0.2.1 ro...
