You must bring your own Cisco router images to run into GNS3.To be organized you should create some folders that store IOS images, If you installed GNS3 with Chris's script it created some folders in your home drive, GNS3->Images->IOS store your router image in that folder. It also worth noting that most of these images are older and are end of life from Cisco's perspective. If you have Cisco router images handy you can run them in GNS3 now, check out the compatibility list here: Hardware emulated by GNS3. Once installed you need to have router images handy or router platforms that can run in VirtualBox like the CSR 1000v, remember GNS3 is the framework or 'glue' that makes running these images possible as well as connecting them together to form a virtual network. Follow those instructions and you should have GNS3 shortly. Check out the post on GNS3 Jungle: Installing GNS3v1 on Linux. I'm giving credit to Chris Welsh as he wrote out a nice script that installs everything you need to get started using GSN3, so installing it's pretty easy. Like I mentioned I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and installing GNS3 in Linux can be a little difficult if you are just not that familiar with it. This gives network professionals testing without touching any physical hardware or purchasing that expensive test lab for certification studies. So if you wanted to test a configuration change but did not want to run it on production you can run it in GNS3 instead. GNS3 is an open source tool that helps network professionals run a virtual network right on their computer, GNS3 is not a simulation program but rather an emulation program. There is also updated GNS3 installation instructions for Linux on the main GNS3 site.It's only been a week since GNS3 1.0 was released and it's already been updated to 1.1 so in this post I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with the latest updates and its time to set up GNS3. I would recommend taking a look at the following video from the GNS3 team for further instructions and decent explanation of validating the rest of your GNS3 installation. sudo chmod +x /opt/GNS3/Dynamips/dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin.sudo mv dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin /opt/GNS3/DynamipsĬhange the permissions on the Dynamips binary to make it executable:.Move the dynamips binary to the /opt/GNS3/Dynamips directory: Move the files to the /opt/GNS3 directory: Go to the folder where you downloaded the two files. Select the latest version (currently 0.2.8-RC3-community) depending upon your machine architecture. Install the following recommended packages:īefore downloading the files for GNS, create the following twoįor the latest version (The latest version is 0.8.4-RC2) or download directly from here.
