WANem is (as the name implies) a WAN emulator that\u2019s available for free and therefor ideal to use in a lab environment. WANem is built on the Knoppix distribution and supplied as a bootable ISO or a virtual appliance. Unfortunately the virtual appliance is only provided for the VMware hypervisor.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a lab built on the Citrix XenServer hypervisor and should therefore use the ISO. Installing (or actually booting) WANem is no rocket science, using it is a bit more complex. A guy named Jos\u00e9 Luis G\u00f3mez Ferrer de Couto<\/a> has written an easy to understand  tutorial<\/a>  (in Spanish) how to use WANem in Citrix XenServer.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there is a small pitfall on my Citrix XenServer 5.6 machine, the network is unreachable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although the NIC of the WANem virtual machine does request (and get) an DHCP lease, there is no network activity.<\/p>\n

\"DHCP<\/a><\/p>\n

The reason there is no network activity is that the NIC is inactive. After enabling the network interface in the console of the virtual machine, everything works just fine.<\/p>\n

After booting WANem, and configuring the basics, the folowing commands are issued.<\/p>\n

exit2shell\n\nifconfig eth0 up\nifconfig eth1 up<\/pre>\n
This result would look like this:<\/p>\n
