Narbik in web-iou

Narbik Topology for web-iou

Disclaimer:
I DON’T OWN NOR HAVE AN ACCESS TO THE TOPOLOGY, INITIAL CONFIGS, IOU/IOL BINARIES OR ANY OTHER MATERIAL UNDER CCIE EXAM, NARBIK OR COPYRIGHTED FROM CISCO OR ANY OTHER VENDOR.

This tutorial is for those who:
- Are Cisco (or Cisco Partner) Employees, and therefore have an access to the Cisco IOU tool
- Have purchased Narbiks Workbook 4.0 in order to prepare for the CCIE exam

Ok, now that I´m "safe", lets get into the real deal

I used the awesome tool called "web-iou" made by Andrea, and published on his RouterReflector page, where you can find instructions on what it´s for and how to use it:

P.S. Congrats to Andrea for recently becoming a CCIE!!!


By this point I suppose that you´re familiar with Narbik´s method of teaching CCIE, and the basic L2 Ethernet and L3 topologies that his WorkBooks are based on.

Step 1: DOWNLOAD the topology. Do not unzip the file!!!

Step 2: IMPORT the Topology into the web-iou

Manage -> Import Labs and locate the downloaded .gz file

Step 3: Go to Laboratories  and enter the Narbik_by_Mat Lab

You will see the following topology under the "Diagram" tab:

You will probably immediately notice the similarity with the Narbiks Topology. The only difference are the interfaces. I tried re-programming it in the NETMAP, but without success. So far the IOU offers only simple Ethernet interfaces, and only 4-interface Line Cards (makes it impossible to get the Fa0/19 interface for example).

The temporal solution I´m using is the Diagram you will find under the "Narbik_IOU_by_Mat" tab. It´s a simple diagram that has my topology interfaces marked in RED color, and the original Narbik ones marked in BLUE. You can do the Narbik Labs using my topology, and have this Diagram in front of you for convenience only.

Enjoy the experience, and let me know if you have any ideas how I could improve it!
