Ģ、 Install and run the corresponding virtual machine filesģ、 Connect the virtual machine to GNS3 Onįirst of all, click on. Now roll your sleeves and start deploying your labs comfortably.GNS3 IOU The configuration of the simulator edition GNS3 2.1.8（ With software and supporting tools ）ġ、 First download GNS3, After downloading, install according to the software guide. You are then asked to confirm the configuration then click Finish.Īt this point, the GNS3 VM restarts and you will be notified on the GNS3-GUI that the VM is starting.Īfter a successful reboot, you can now use your GNS3 application to deploy labs with the server running on the VirtualBox VM.Ĭongratulations! You just deployed GNS3 server on VirtualBox. You can also specify the resource allocation for the VM at this stage. You will then be required to choose the VM from the list of the existing virtualbox VMs. This is also where you specify the virtualization platform. The connection to the VM network should be successful. The server path and port remain as it is. In the next tab, choose the Host binding IP that is in the Virtualbox subnet e.g, In my case, I’ll use 192.168.99.1 since my VM has 192.168.99.101/24 IP.on the pop-up window, select ‘ Run appliances in a virtual machine‘ option then click Next.Open your GNS3-gui application and navigate to ‘Help‘ tab then choose ‘ Setup Wizard‘.We now need to configure our GNS3 application to use the VM created. Otherwise, check that nested virtualization is enabled. Make sure you can reach the VM ip from the host through ping.Īlso make sure that the ‘ KVM support available‘ value is “ True“. On successful boot, you will get an interface similar to the one below: Run GNS3 Instance on VirtualBoxīefore we can power on our VM, make sure that we have a network adapter that has the “Host-only Adapter” option. Replace it with the appropriate name as you have named it in your environment. Where ‘ GNS3 VM‘ is the name of the VirtualBox VM on my computer. $ vboxmanage modifyvm "GNS3 VM" -nested-hw-virt on You can also enable the same from the command-line using the command below: Make sure the ‘Enable Nested VT-x/AMD-V’ option is checked.Navigate to System option then select Processor.Select the VM that we have imported, then go to the settings tab.This feature is needed for GNS3 server as it initiates instances within the VM itself when you setup your lab images e.g Cisco instances. For example, running KVM on a virtual machine running on virtualbox. This is a feature that allows to virtualize an environment that is already virtualized. You can adjust the resources in accordance to the host machine then click ‘ Import‘ Enable Nested Virtualization VirtualBox then opens up an interface with some pre-defined resources. Navigate to the location where you extracted the downloaded disk image and select it. Open VirtualBox application and select ‘ File‘ then ‘ Import Appliance‘ option.Ĥ.The downloaded zip file contains a VirtualBox disk image that will be imported to VirtualBox. Extract the downloaded zip file to a directory.Download the latest version of GNS3 VM Virtualbox edition from the release page.In this setup, you have your GNS3 application running on your host but the GNS3 server runs on a VirtualBox instance and there is a remote connection between the application and the VM using the VirtualBox network bridge Install GNS3 VM on VirtualBoxįollow the steps below to setup GNS3 VM on Virtualbox. This article shall be covering how to run GNS3 VM on Virtualbox.
