On a Ubuntu GNS3 VM, I am trying to setup an active online-device.
Here is the sketch of the Ifconfig on this GNS3 VM host:
docker0: flags=4099 mtu 1500
inet 172.17.0.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 172.17.255.255
ether 02:42:7f:07:8c:49 txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
...
ens160: flags=4163 mtu 1500
inet 10.31.1.116 netmask 255.255.240.0 broadcast 10.31.15.255
...
gns3tap0-1: flags=4163 mtu 1500
inet6 fe80::60a2:8ff:fe4d:5672 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20
ether 62:a2:08:4d:56:72 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
...
lo: flags=73 mtu 65536
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10
loop txqueuelen 1000 (Local Loopback)
...
virbr0: flags=4163 mtu 1500
inet 192.168.122.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.122.255
...
And also on this VM, I have a tftp service started, that will provides the device license files for the incoming requests. I have double-checked and this tftp service is up and working OK.
And here is the diagram of my GNS3 Project that has been setup on this GNS3 VM.
As you may find out, there is connection sequence as: **cloud Cisco Router Switch -> X-1, which is my device at the end**.
From my device console, I was able to ping outside network and VM, but somehow, I could not tftp the license file from it.
here is my device console log:
#

Any idea what could be wrong ? This is the first time I am trying to setup the devices in such environment. Thanks for the help.
