 show                         Print the net configuration of PCs.

 d                            Switch to the PC[d], d is digit, range 1 to 9.

 hist                         List the history command, use arrow keys to get

                              recently-executed commands.

 ip address [CIDR] [gateway]  Set the host's ip, gateway's ip and network mask.

                              In the ether mode, the ip of the tapx is the

                              maximum host ID of the subnet. Default IPv4 CIDR

                              is 24, IPv6 is 64. 'ip 10.1.1.70 10.1.1.65 26',

                              set the host ip to 10.1.1.70, the gateway ip to

                              10.1.1.65, the netmask to 255.255.255.192, the

                              tapx ip to 10.1.1.126 (ether mode).

 dhcp                         Configure host/gateway address using DHCP.

 arp                          Show arp table.

 ping address                 Ping the network host.

 echo address port [udp|tcp]  Echo the host port with protocol(udp/tcp).

 tracert address [maxhops]    Print the route packets take to network host.

                              default maxhops is 16.

 conf [lport|rport] port      Set local or remote port. 'conf lport' will close

                              the old port and open the new port. Only udp mode.

 ?                            Print help.

 quit                         Close all the port(udp mode) or the tapx (ether

                              mode), then quit.

If in the ether mode, please run it before the dynamips loads/starts the ios.

When VPCS started, it listens the ports from 20000 to 20008 and wait the dymamips to connet, and send the packets to the ports from 30000 to 30008 which should be listened by the Dynamips.

VPCS looks for the file named 'startup.vpc' in the current directory, and execute the commands in it if you are not set the startup file from the command line. All the commands in the startup file are the internal command of the VPCS . The line started with '#' or '!' will be discarded.

Dynamips loads ios with NM-16ESW module in slot 1, and listens 30000 to 30002. NM-16ESW is 16 port switch module (from f1/0 to f1/15). '-s 1:0:udp:30000:127.0.0.1:20000' means:

  1. this is port 0

  2. dynamips (or ios) sends the packets from port 30000 to port 20000 which listens by VPCS
 (PC1).

  3. VPCS
 (PC1) sends the packets from port 20000 to dynamips.

Note

• To make compatible with the dynamips, VPCS does NOT use the cygwin1.dll released by cygwin.com. DO NOT use the file releases by cygwin.com, and keep the LATEST cygwin1.dll in the your PC.

• You should run VPCS before starting the dynamips while using ether mode. VPCS opens the tap interfaces. And you should know, VPCS will CLOSE the tap interfaces before quit.
