To run a GNS3 VM, you should install a VM program first, import the GNS3 VM into the VM software, and then set up and configure the GNS3 VM. To run a GNS3 VM, you should do some preparations.
In addition, because GNS3 does not support full switch functionality or switch IOS images, you will have to configure your router with NM-16ESW switch modules. For example, it’s hard for beginners and you will have to supply your own IOS (Internetwork Operating System) image to import the correct IOS software for the router you are emulating. Of course, GNS3 also has some disadvantages. Many small and mid-size businesses use GNS3 because this software allows them to create a virtual network right on a PC and conduct experiments with different configurations there rather than on actual hardware. It combines the best features of the existing emulation software (such as Dynamips and Qemu) into a GUI interface and allows you to create an unlimited number of Cisco routing-and-switching lab scenarios. GNS3, short for Graphical Network Simulator-3, is an open-source network software emulator initially released in 2008. With this VM, you can do experiments with different configurations there rather than on actual hardware. This post from MiniTool shows you how to install and run GNS3 VM. It can allow you to create a virtual network right on a PC. This can be a Juniper router, a Huawei router or a Nokia router.GNS3 is an open-source network emulator. Beside Cisco, you can also load other vendor images to practice on their router. Like these steps, you can load any other images to GNS3 Simulator. Here, we have learned How to Install Cisco GNS3 IOS images. And then we will click next to finish our installation.Īfter installing Cisco IOS Image, you will be able to see the router details under router option. In the dropdown list, we will select, “ GT96100-FE” here and then click next. In this step, we will select the network adaptor that we will use. You can set a new value or you can click next to use the default one. There will be a default RAM in this step. We can give any name to the router here and then click next. Then, we will change the name of the router. We will select the path where the IOS image is stored on our local PC. In this step, we will select the path of the IOS image to laod it to GNS3. In this window, we will click ”new” to create new router. To do this, we will go Edit/Preferences/IOS routers. In the second step, we will add IOS router to GNS3.
Here, we will use c2691 router image for our example.
You can find oen of them and download this image. There are some images that is used for educational purposes on Internet. To use a specific Cisco IOS image, firstly you should find and download it from Internet.
