Web IOU is a very useful software for novice network engineers as it provides the ability to simulate routers as well as switches and give you a simulation environment without taking much memory and processing power as GNS 3 does.
Steps to configure:
1. Create a virtual machine in VMWare Worskstation
Download VM Ware Workstation. Clik Open under File and select the iou-web file.
2. VMWare Settings:
In the virtual machine, click on Edit virtual machine settings. Make sure that you have a network adapter (VMNet1 Host Only) . This is a host only adapter which is used to connect to host machine as we need to use web browser in host to access the GUI.
3. Network Settings:
A static ip address need to be provided to the virtual machine. Since, this is a linux machine, we can use the same command as we use in linux.
Also, In the Properties of your VMWare adapter(as highlighted below) listed in the network connections,set the ip address to 192.169.80.1 and check whether you can ping the above configured ip address. If it pings then you have successfully configured the web-iou.
