This is why VMware was needed as the first installation step - it will be doing some of the virtualization heavy lifting. It’s a Ubuntu Linux virtual machine that has all the necessary software pre-installed that allows you to simulate more complicated devices. (If prompted, permit ubridge to run as root to capture packets)Īfter installing the base GNS3 program, you next need to install the “GNS3 VM”. Run the installer you downloaded and accept the default options.Create your GNS3 Community Account as prompted, login, and then return to the Download page.Select Windows, Mac, or Linux as appropriate, and then “Download".We'll use Ubuntu for class projects and homework assignments. Do not put it inside your Ubuntu VM or you'll run into an eventual issue with nested virtual machines. Note: Install GNS3 inside your native operating system. (But the instructor has not tested it.) Step 2: Install GNS3
It does not come with support for the VIX API, which allows programs (like the GNS3 network simulator) to control the operation of virtual machines. Normally these are paid ($$) commercial products, but SOECS has free licenses for Pacific students.ĭo not use the stripped-down free VMware Player. Install VMware Fusion (Mac) or VMware Workstation (Windows). įor your reference, detailed installation document for all platforms is available on the GNS3 website, as the process does vary somewhat between platforms: GNS3 allows you to run a small topology consisting of only a few devices on your laptop, to those that have many devices hosted on multiple servers or even hosted in the cloud. Step 4: After image gets uploaded in next window “ Assign” a name to the device then platform and chassis type.GNS3 is used by network engineers to emulate, configure, test and troubleshoot virtual and real networks. Step 3: Now import the image of the router you would like to install on gns3 VM by clicking on option browse then say YES to “decompress” the image. Step 2: Now click on new and select option “Run IOS Router in GNS3 VM” and press NEXT Note: There is another option “Run IOS Router on Local Machine” this option was used before the introduction of “GNS3 VM” however, we have GNS3 VM so we will go with the latest option to achieve good performance and emulation. Step 1: Open the gns3 VM then navigate to - Edit-preferences - Dynamips - IOS routers. Today, we’ll install a device on GNS3 VM that is not available in GNS3 Marketplace (CISCO IOS). Gns3 has a feature called Dynamips which allows us to install ( CISCO IOS) image and emulate the router environment. To perform router installation, we need to have an IOS image. The blog is for the users who would like to simulate the router environment in GNS3VM irrespective of the vendors (Cisco, Juniper etc.) In my earlier blog, I explained how to install and configure the GNS3 VM and how to configure a device through a template (from GNS3 Marketplace).
