Gns3 Supported Routers IOS Image list

Simulating the XR platform is not. But with new XRv image and a few tweaks, you can now run Cisco XR platform in GNS3. In this post, I will explain in detail how you can run Cisco IOS XRv in GNS3. Getting started. The Cisco IOS XRv Router is a Virtual Machine (VM)-based platform running 32-bit/ 64-bit IOS XR software with the QNX microkernel.

In this article you will find the Cisco supported IOS list for the most famous network simulator/emulator that is Gns3. There are many different router IOS which are supported by the GNS3. Gns3 support different router images directly, some of them are need to be uncompressed before using it in gns3 while for some devices you are required the virtual machines of those images like IOU. You can also emulate the juniper router and IOU image using their VM images in gns3. Even you can run the Cisco XR images with gns3 that work with virtualBox, VMware and with KVM.

There are some Cisco 15.x IOS images which are support by gns3 as well. But currently 15.x images are only supported by the Cisco 7200 series in GNS3. List of compatible images from 7200 series is as under:

  • c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.152-4.M7 IOS image
  • c7200-ik9o3s-mz.124-25d
  • c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.151-4.M
  • c7200-ik9o3s-mz.124-25d

Following are the short list of devices those can be emulate with GNS3:

  • 1710 have only Fast-Ethernet and Ethernet ports
  • 1721 or 1750 have a Fast-Ethernet and two WIC slots with maximum two Ethernet ports and four serial.
  • 1760 only one Fast-Ethernet fixed port two WIC card supported

Cisco 2600 Series IOS Supported by Gns3

Following 2600 series IOS are supported by GNS3:

  • Cisco 2610 image
  • 2611 IOS
  • Cisco IOS 2620
  • Cisco 2610XM IOS image

Ios

With the XM series like Cisco 2610XM, 2620XM, 2650XM, 2621XM and 2651XM IOS images you can use two Fast-Ethernet interfaces i.e. CISCO2600-MB-2FE, one NM slots with max four Ethernet interfaces or 16 ports Fast-Ethernet

Cisco IOS 3600 Series Supported by Gns3

Here are some 3600 ios that can be used with gns3:

  • Cisco 3620 IOS
  • Cisco 3640 image
  • 3660

With Cisco 3600 series IOS you can use 32 Fast-Ethernet or 24 serial interfaces (NM slots) and two Fast-Ethernet fixed interfaces.

Cisco 3700 Series Supported by Gns3

With cisco 3700 series IOS you can use two FastEthernet port on the motherboard, three sub slots for WICs and maximum 4 NM slots (one NM can have 16 FE ports). Following are famous IOS list:

  • Cisco 3725 IOS

Use Cisco PIX firewalls in GNS3

You can use Cisco PIX with special version of Qemu called PEMU.

Cisco ASA firewalls

You can also simulate or emulate cisco ASA firewall on GNS3. For more detail click on link.

Cisco IDS sensors

You can also use Qemu GNS3 emulates an IDS 4235/4215 Sensor. The software IPS is known to run with release 6.0.

Juniper routers on Gns3

Free Cisco Router Ios Image

There are some VM available through which you can use juniper router on GNS3.

Hosts or virtual PC on GNS3

You can use virtual host with other cisco devices in following ways:

  • Qemu host
  • VirtualBox VM
  • Linux Tinycore
  • you can connect your physical machine with gns3 using gns3 cloud

I hope this article is informative and helpful for you. You can add or share your though regarding supported device by gns3 here in comments. Thank you for reading this.. ! 🙂

Here I am listing all the working versions of Cisco IOS which I have tested with the latest version of GNS3.

Update as on 14th May 2018 –

All the IOS, IOU, Nexus and other images has been updated, checked and verified with latest GNS3 & GSN3 VM. Download here – https://i.srijit.com/gns3images

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:

Router Images For Gns3

  • 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.
