Cisco 3750 Switch Ios For Gns3
So long ago GNS3 was released and well it was lacking a few features and in my experience quite buggy. However now after a successful kickstarter campaign (which I backed!) they have released v1.x.x Now up to 1.3.6 I will share some of my experience and tips, tricks, etc.
Originally (and now) layer 2 switches were somewhat difficult to get going in GNS3. But now thanks to vIOS and the great team behind GNS3 and Qemu it’s easy! At this point I assume you have GNS3 installed and working (I am using 1.3.6 in this tutorial) Firstly you are going to need the vdk, now normally you have to extract it from an all in one image, however because I’m awesome and outlawish I will provide it for you here. You will need to extract it. Once extracted fire up GNS3.

Macromedia Studio Mx 2004. • Select the latest Qemu binary from the list (if you are running 64bit OS I suggest this one). • Now the important part, find the vIOS-L2.vmdk that you downloaded from here and extracted.
Click finish. • You now have a L2 switch with 8 ethernet ports in you Qemu VM’s list! • Start her up and console in, it will take a while to boot and remember you can’t cable anything to it unless its powered off. You may see some errors whilst booting but it should be fine. And that’s it! You can create as many as you like (as long as you got the RAM, Qemu is a bit of a hog).

If you face any problem setting it up with GNS3 drop me a message and I will get back to you asap. GNS3 is an open source (GNU GPL) software that simulates complex networks while being as close as possible from the way real networks perform, all of this without having dedicated network hardware such as routers and switches. GNS3 provides an intuitive graphical user interface to design and configure virtual networks, it runs on traditional PC hardware and may be used on multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X.
In order to provide complete and accurate simulations, GNS3 actually uses the following emulators to run the very same operating systems as in real networks: • Dynamips, the well known Cisco IOS emulator. • VirtualBox, runs desktop and server operating systems as well as Juniper JunOS. • QEMU, a generic open source machine emulator, it runs Cisco ASA, PIX and IPS.
GNS3 is an excellent alternative or complementary tool to real labs for network engineers, administrators and people studying for certifications such as Cisco CCNA, CCNP andCCIE as well as Juniper JNCIA, JNCIS and JNCIE. Enjoyed this post? Hello Srijit, I’ve been having a hard time using the 7200 image (c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.152-4.S5.bin) in GNS3, and getting my laptop to find a valid Idle PC value. I’ve even tried to download the image for the 7200 from the link you’ve provided above #8. Still getting the message “0xa000 is not a valid Idle PC value”. The only other 7200 image I’ve used and gotten a valid PC value is c7200-jk9s-mz.124-13b.bin, but when using that image, I’m getting some odd results when configuring various things such as GRE tunnels. Can you assist me with this?
Hello Sir, I have downloaded the image for 7200. However, in GNS3 when I do show flash on the router I get the following message – R1#show flash Open device slot0 failed (No such device) (Try device DISK: for ATA media.)
