GNS3 1.3.0
was released a few days ago by the GNS3 team, this version is a major
rewrite especially the gns3 server. A lot of issues found in GNS3 1.x
were fixed and will serve as a great foundation to explore this new
features and show thumbs up for Gns3 team.These guys are really doing a
good work and that's why i love open source softwares to my heart.I
installed this latest version on my Ubuntu box 64-bit version and Kali Linux 64-bit as well.
Previously we talked about GNS3 1.2.3 installation. If you are running the previous version of gns3, you'll just need to upgrade gns3-gui-1.3.0 and gns3-server-1.3.0. Jump to server and gui installation for that.
Remember that you'll need IOS images and IOU images to use it in your GNS3 lab environment.
Some of the new features and fixes available on GNS3 1.3.0 are:
Now we fix GNS3 dependencies needed for GNS3 1.3.0 installation. Run the following commands to do that.
Dynamips hypervisor also require the following dependencies which must be installed as well prior to dynamips building and installation.
Unzip the downloaded zipped file.You must change the directory to location of newly downloaded gns3.
Install GNS3 GUI
Let's now install dynamics. We'll build it first then make install.
Before installing IOU, install the following dependency utilities.
Install GNS3 IOUYAP app which provide network support for IOU
You have successfully installed GNS3 1.3.0, it's time to run it and feel like "woooow!!, I made it!". Type the command:
If you want to connect your Virtual VMs to Gns3, check out the tutorial on installation of VirtualBox on Ubuntu and Kali Linux and Debian or VMware Workstation | VMware Player for Virtualization on GNS3 as well.
Another Virtualization Platform available for Linux is KVM, though i don't know if it works with GNS3.
