This lab runs on a virtualized environment for Cisco IOS called "Dynamips". The method of access to each virtual switch or outer is via Telnet to a specific port on the IP of the machine that runs the virtualization platform.
$ telnet <HOST-IP> <PORT>
For example:
$ telnet 10.10.0.241 2012
The instructor will provide the IP address of the host in this particular workshop

After executing the telnet command, you will see something like the following:
Trying 10.10.0.241...
Connected to 10.10.0.241.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connected to Dynamips VM "R32" (ID 8, type c7200) - Console port
Hit ENTER at this point. Then, you will see this question:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Answer "no".
The router will show some initialization routines, and finally, you will see the default prompt:
Router>
You can then go into privileged mode:
Router> enable
Router#
And then enter configuration mode:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
And you are ready to start entering configuration statements. When you are done, exit configuration mode and save your changes:
Router(config)# end
Router# write memory
