In this way, from any machine we can make changes and the rest of clients those are running the same project, can see those changes. On the main machine, we can see the topology is identical to the client. We can also see those changes on main machine. In the Preferences of the client GNS3, the same setting will appear as the GNS3 on main machine, if not then change those.Īfter the Preferences setting, we will start the devices or nodes and make some changes at the client machine. The important point here is that the number of clients can access the one topology and they need not to create it on their own machine. The same topology will appear on the client machine. We can observe that the project ‘Test for IOS image on Remote Server’ is in the list and its status is opened, i.e someone also running this project. In the list of projects, we will find the project which we created on the main machine and saved on remote server. And start the GNS3 on the virtual machine.įor starting the project on VM, click on ‘Projects library’. I assigned the project name (Test for IOS image on Remote Server). We are on the main machine, here create the topology and save the project e.g. In this step we will create the project on one machine and the same project we will open on another machine, which will work as a client. Similarly, if we want to add more images, repeat the same procedure. In this way, we can Add IOS image in GNS3. Then follow the instructions mentioned in the below pictures. In the ‘General Preferences’ click on the ‘Binary images’ and browse the folder, where we placed IOS images and click on Apply. At the time of Adding the IOS image, how many images we will place in this folder, we would be able to see them at one place. In the GNS3 version 2, we can configure the path of the IOS images folder. In this demonstration, the IP address of GNS3 VM is 192.168.159.128, type it under ‘Host’ and uncheck the ‘Auth’ option because we are configuring the project only for testing purpose.ĭuring this step we will manage IOS images. Uncheck that option, then we will receive the settings for ‘Remote Server’. In the ‘Main Server’ setting, we can see that ‘Enable local server’ option is checked.
But, we have to setup GNS3 VM as a Remote Server, which we will achieve from ‘Preferences’. In the 'Servers Summary’ section a Local Server ‘APOLLO’ exists, which is the name of Main Machine.

Install the GNS3 version 2.0. on this VM and main machine (PC, Laptop).
Gns3 vm setup windows 10#
Here, I used VM Windows 10 for this purpose. We require a machine on which our GNS3 will work as a client. This GNS3 VM will work as a server, where we will save our projects at the central location, from that place GNS3 client will be able to access them. Then note down the IP address, which we will use later.
I used Version 2.0.0 for both.įor the demonstration of this feature, I used two VMware machines which are running in the VMware Workstation 11.1.0: Note: The GNS3 and GNS3 VM version must be same, e.g. This new and advanced feature provide us the flexibility of saving our projects at the central location, from where any client can access and configure them If more than one client accessing the same project, whatsoever changes will be done by any client, the other clients will also be able to see those changes. But, in the major released GNS3 version 2.x, we can run it as server and the multiple clients can access the same project or different project simultaneously. In the previous versions of GNS3, it was working as a client application.
