1 dpavlin 1 .TH HYPERVISOR_MODE 7 "Sep 10, 2006"
2     .SH NAME
3     hypervisor mode \- allows you to run simultaneously
4     many virtual router instances, and to simulate ATM, Ethernet
5     or Frame-Relay networks.
6     .SH SYNOPSIS
7     .B dynamips -H
8     \fItcp_port\fP
9    
10     .SH DESCRIPTION
11     You can connect directly to the TCP control port with telnet, or use
12     dynagen/dynagui that will pass commands transparently. The second method
13     is highly recommended.
14     .br
15     The command syntax is simple: <module> <function> [arguments...]
16     For example: "c7200 start R1" starts virtual instance named "R1".
