These steps are based on tutorial "Cisco IOU’s License Protection" and adapted for Fedora Linux. For further information about IOU licensing, please visit the site. http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/
1. Download bbe - hex editor
$ wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbe-/files/bbe/0.1.8/bbe-0.1.8-2.i386.rpm/download
2. Install rpm package
$ sudo rpm -ihv ./bbe-0.1.8-2.i386.rpm
3. Install openssl-devel packages and create symbolic link
The shared library libcrypto.so4 must presented either in /usr/lib/ or in /lib/. It is provided by openssl-devel package.
$ sudo yum install openssl-devel
Now check the list of shared libcrypto libraries presented in your system.
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Aug 30 21:45 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 -> /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Aug 30 21:45 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10 -> /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
$ ls -l /lib/libcrypto*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Jul 9 20:24 /lib/libcrypto.so.10 -> libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1589068 Feb 10 2011 /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
There is only one shared libcrypto library - /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d presented. All other files are symbolic links pointing to the library.
Now create a symbolic link and check the list again:
$ sudo ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4
$ ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypto*
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Aug 30 21:45 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 -> /lib//libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 25 Aug 30 21:45 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.10 -> /lib//libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 24 Jul 18 23:21 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4 -> /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
4. Create a license file
$ echo -e "[license]n$(uname -n) = 0000000000000000" > iourc
5. Create NETMAP file
$ touch ./NETMAP
6. Edit L3 IOU image
$ for F in i86bi_linux-*;do bbe -b "/xfcxffx83xc4x0cx85xc0x75x14x8b/:10" -e "r 7 x90x90" -o $F.x $F;mv $F.x $F;done;chmod +x ./i86bi_linux-*
7. Edit L2 IOU image
$ for F in i86bi_linuxl2*;do bbe -b "/xa1xffx83xc4x0cx85xc0x75x17x8b/:10" -e "r 7 x74" -o $F.x $F;mv $F.x $F;done;chmod +x ./i86bi_linuxl2*
Parameter r 7 replaces bytes starting at position 7 - string 75, with string 74 (counts from zero), in the block of ten bytes - a1 ff 83 c4 0c 85 c0 75 17 8b.
8. Redirect data sent to Cisco to the localhost
When IOU image is started, IOU image sends data to xml.cisco.com. You need to make "fake" DNS entry for xml.cisco.com to avoid this behaviour.
$ echo "127.0.0.1 xml.cisco.com" >> /etc/hosts
9. Run IOU image
$ ./wrapper-linux -m ./i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms -p 2222 200
2222 - TCP port on which is wrapper listening 200 - application ID
In this case, none of the group of the interfaces are specified. They are two group of Ethernet interfaces created in IOU image by default. Each group always consists from four interfaces . The same is true for Serial interfaces.
File nvram_00200 is created and consists of saved configuration.
Examples
a) $ ./wrapper-linux -m ./i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms -p 2222 -- -e 1 -s 1 200
-e 1 Ethernet0/0, Ethernet0/1, Ethernet0/2, Ethernet0/3
-s 1 Serial1/0, Serial1/1, Serial1/2, Serial1/3
b) $ ./wrapper-linux -m ./i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms -p 2222 -- -e 0 -s 0 200
In this example no interface is created for IOU image.
10. Telnet to IOU image
$ telnet localhost 2222
Hit key enter.
11. Stopping wrapper
Ctrl-C or if wrapper is running on the background kill the process.
$ ps -aux | grep wrapper-linux | grep 200 | kill `echo $(cut -d " " -f2)`
Hey,
I've installed Cisco IOU 2.0 - do you know if you can save your configs and after you reload your VMware instance the configs will be backed up and loaded on boot?
Thanks,
Thomas.
Check this tutorial, please:
https://brezular.com/2011/05/08/cisco-iou-ccie-v4-rack-livecd-installation-on-qemu-image/
Step 5 gives me this output :
# for F in i86bi_linux-*;do bbe -b ./xfcxffx83xc4x0cx85xc0x75x14x8b/:10. -e .r 7 x90x90. -o $F.x $F;mv $F.x $F;done;chmod +x ./i86bi_linux-*

Hi,
there is a problem with incorrect displaying double quotes on page. The character left double quotation mark and right double quotation mark - “ ″ is being displayed everywhere on page where two double quotes should separate content.
The command below should work in case you substitute left and right quote with double quote.
for F in i86bi_linux-*;do bbe -b /xfcxffx83xc4x0cx85xc0x75x14x8b/:10 -e “r 7 x90x90" -o $F.x $F;mv $F.x $F;done;chmod +x ./i86bi_linux-*
Problem with incorrect displaying double quotes fixed.
I followed steps upto 8 without any problem. I am using fedora 15 kde. When I am executing setp 9, I am getting the error "UNIX ERR: tcgetattr: invalid argument". I thnik I have to configure the NETMAP file. But I dont know how to do that? All the steps in this tutorial is very clear. If you could write something like this for this NETMAP file and the execution, it would be very nice.
Hi,
according to http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/ you can safely ignore "UNIX ERR: tcgetattr: invalid argument" error message. Your IOU image can be started with a blank NETMAP file.
Hi,
Finally it worked with a blank NETMAP file and ignoring that error message. Thanks.
I want to build a custom network topology. How can I do that? Is there any graphical tool for that?
Hi,
Check a link I've posted about the IOU FAQ, please. All you need to know you'll find there.
for F in i86bi_linux-*;do bbe -b /xfcxffx83xc4x0cx85xc0x75x14x8b/:10 -e “r 7 x90x90″ -o $F.x $F;mv $F.x $F;done;chmod +x ./i86bi_linux-*
Kindly help me where will i point this command on Fedora? please advise. Thanks.

Hi,
this error is mentioned in IOU FAQ: http://evilrouters.net/2011/01/18/cisco-iou-faq/
Check directory /lib/ if there is libcrypto library presented. If it is e.g. libcrypto.so.1.0. d there, you need to create a symbolic link named libcrypto.so.4 which refers to /lib//libcrypto.so.1.0.0d
sudo ln -s /lib//libcrypto.so.1.0.0d /lib/libcrypto.so.4
Hi,
I want to create a switching lab. How can I the L2 image? I tried to run with the command "./wrapper-linux -m ./i86bi_linuxl2*.x -p 2222 500". But I got an error "IOU 1750 exit". What should I do?

Hi,
I've changed the "libcrypto" part of tutorial to make it more clear. Please, read it again. From what I see, your problem is nonfunctional symbolic link:
rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 27 2011-08-28 04:30 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
Delete and recreate again:
rm /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0b /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.4
Hello,
Please advise if this is the desire state. If it is ok is my NETMAP configuration is already ok so that I can start simulating network. Need your help again, Im new in linux but Im eager to learn linux.
Thanks.

Hi Brezular,
i run ioul2 on my debian machine,
I keep getting "Segmentation Fault" any ideas?
Hi!
I am a Kubuntu user. I have converted bbe rpm package to deb package using Alien and completed the above mentioned steps. But when I run the command "./wrapper-linux -m ./i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms -p 2222 200", I get the error that there is no router. What should I have to do?
Thanks and Regards
Arefin
make it runnable.
chmod +x i86bi_linux-adventerprisek9-ms
Hi!
I did it too. But still I am getting the error "Unable to run router: No such file or directory
IOU 2030 exit".
I just copy and paste your command. One thing was different and that is the libcrypto version. Mine one is libcrypto.so.0.9.8. But during installation I didnt get any error.
What did I do wrong?
Arefin
Hi!
Regarding the above post, could anyone please help me? Have anyone tested this IOU on Ubuntu?
Regards
Arefin
Hi Brezular,
Thanks for the tutorial, but I can telnet to the router only from local host.
What should I do, so I can telnet to the router from remote computer ?
Regards
Rian
I haven't tried it but looks good.
