Cisco IOS - Idle-PC

Post by Matteth16 » Mon May 22, 2017 3:25 pm

Hi,

I've setup a 7206VXR and it's working no problem apart from the CPU is at 100%. I am trying to find/set an Idle-PC as per the instructions at this link: http://www.eve-ng.net/index.php/documen ... -cisco-ios but something doesn't seem to be working right for me. Am I doing something stupid here? When I push "Ctrl ] i", I get the following:

Code: Select all

Instande default (ID 0)

0 - Show the VM object list
d - Show the device list
r - Dump CPU registers
t - Dump MMU information
z - Dump MMU information (raw mode)
m - Dump the latest memory accesses
s - Suspend CPU emulation
u - Resume CPU emulation
q - Quit the emulator
k - Reboot the virtual machine
b - Show info about JIT compiled pages
l - MTS cache statistics
c - Write IOS configuration to disk
j - Non-JIT mode statistics
i - Determine an idling pointer counter
x - Experimentations (can crash the box!)
^] - Send ^]
Other - This help
When I push "i" I get this message from IOS itself:

Code: Select all

Translating "i"

% Bad IP address or hostname
Translating "i"
% Unknown command or computer name, or unable to find the computer address
A quick fix I'm sure, any help is appreciated!

I have done exactly that, everytime I push those keys all I get is that menu over and over

I've got it working now by pure luck i guess, I think in the guide it needs to be clearer that you need to release the keys after pushing "Ctrl + ]" before choosing an option
