A complex, yet easy-to-use network simulator with a user-orientated interface GNS3 is a multi-platform utility designed from the ground-up to enable users to create simulations of complex networks without having to buy a router or other dedicated equipment.

A workaround for the problem is located in this forum thread. Users running the GNS3 VM in WS Player have been reporting issues with the available versions of VIX and Player 15.x. Use of Virtualbox to run the GNS3 VM will be covered in a separate article Questions about when Intel CPU h/w virt will be available for Virtualbox should be directed to the Virtualbox support forums only, not the GNS3 forums! This means that with supported CPUs, it is viable to run the GNS3 VM in Virtualbox 6.x (Virtualbox 6.0.12 was the latest tested, as of this writing). Support for this feature with Intel CPUs has been stated to be forthcoming. Nested hardware virtualization functionality, and nested paging, were added to Virtualbox starting in version 6.0, but with a caveat: It is currently only available to users with desktops/laptops that have AMD CPUs (such as their recent Ryzen processors). Please note that VMware Workstation Player is free and you can get 20% off VMware Workstation Pro and VMware Fusion thanks to our deal with VMware.

NOTE The GNS3 VM has a built in upgrade mechanism so you will not need to download again for every release. In order to see this particular option, you’ll need to choose the “Run modern IOS (IOSv or IOU), ASA, and appliances from non-Cisco manufacturers” option in the Setup Wizard, as shown below, since this indicates that you will want to use the GNS3-VM (the other two indicate either local or remote server use only):

zip file from the GNS3 github release page. When you click that embedded link, it will automatically start downloading the GNS3-VM. NOTE VMware Fusion is the marketing name for VMware Workstation on Mac OSXĪ third option is to download it via a provided link in the GNS3 Setup Wizard: WARNING VMware Workstation and VMware ESXi require different GNS3 VM files WARNING Running the VirtualBox version on VMware or the VMware version on VirtualBox will not work

The second option is to browse to the GNS3 release page on github, where you can download the GNS3 application, the various versions of the GNS3 VM, and the source code from the same section: zip archives, so make sure you choose “Save as…” when downloading them, and then extract them for import into your hypervisor of choice. (the VMware Workstation version is shown, for illustration purposes). You can download it via selecting this link below the link to the main GNS3 application itself:Ĭlicking that link will open up this “pop up”, allowing you to select either the Virtualbox, VMware Workstation/Fusion, or VMware ESXi versions: You can obtain the GNS3-VM in several ways. Users running the GNS3 VM in Workstation Player should look at Note 3 at the end of the article, for a fix with WS Player 15.x versions and VIX 1.17 Downloading the VM WARNING For GNS3 1.3 please read this documentation. VMware is a better option because it’s faster and supports nested virtualization (the VMs inside the VM are accelerated by your CPU). The speed difference is important and some VMs will be too slow on VirtualBox* (see note 2). In this document we will explain the import of the GNS3 VM for VMware, but instructions for VirtualBox are similar (instructions for using the new Hyper-V and KVM versions of the GNS3 VM will be discussed in a separate post).
