#GNS3 VIRTUAL MACHINE HOW TO#

How to Use Virtual Machines on GNS3 ⇒ Video In the router console, execute the show line command and check the existing sessions. You can check from the following image that the router has successfully connected with telnet.

After you type the user name and password that you created, you can now manage the Router from the virtual machine.

#GNS3 VIRTUAL MACHINE WINDOWS 10#

To make a Telnet connection from the Windows 10 VM to the Router, execute telnet 192.168.8.1 at the command prompt.Īs soon as you press Enter, the connection to the Router will be established.

#GNS3 VIRTUAL MACHINE WINDOWS 8.1#

You can examine the successful connection of a Telnet to the Cisco Router from the Windows 8.1 VM in the following image. After activating the Telnet client, open the command prompt, type the telnet 192.168.8.1 command and press Enter. To establish a telnet connection to the Cisco Router via Windows, you must enable the Telnet Client service. R1(config)# username cisco privilege 15 password cisco123 Now let’s test the ability to connect from virtual machines by enabling telnet on the router. Ping the Cisco Router from the Windows 10 virtual machine.Īs you can see, both virtual machines were able to ping the Cisco Router successfully. Ping the Router from the virtual computers again, and test the network connection. Open the settings by double-clicking on SW1 and change the EtherType values of Port 2 and 3 as in the image below. Virtual computers can communicate seamlessly between themselves, but if this process fails when pinging the Cisco Router from the VMs, the Switch added to GNS3 must be configured. Likewise, test the network connection by pinging from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1.Īssign the 192.168.8.1 IP address to the FastEthernet0/0 interface of the Cisco Router by following the instructions below. Ping from Windows 8.1 machine to Windows 10 to test the network connection. In the same way, configure the other virtual machine as VMnet3.Īfter running the Windows 8.1 machine because you set the IP address range of VMnet3 to 192.168.8.0/24 in the Virtual Network Editor settings, change the IP address to 192.168.8.5 and save the settings.Ĭhange the Windows 10 virtual machine IP address setting to 192.168.8.10.

Select VMnet3 (Host-Only) in the Custom Virtual Network option as shown in the image below, and click OK to save the settings. In the Host1 Configuration window, select VMnet3 in the Ethernet tab, and then click OK.Īfter you run your virtual machines, you must configure the network adapter settings as Host-Only (VMnet). Then, right-click on Host1 that you added to the network topology and click Configure. Press Alt + F4 to restart your computer for the changes to take effect, and then click OK.Īfter restarting your computer, turn on GNS3 again and run the computers again. In the TCP/IPv4 properties window, type an IP address from the IP address block that you defined for VMnet. When the Properties window opens, select TCP/IPv4 from the options here, and then click the Properties button.

VMware Network Adapter You must configure the TCP/IP settings of VMnet.ĭouble-click on VMnet to open its settings. The VMnet you create will be identified in the Network and Sharing Center of your host computer. To integrate GNS3 with VMware, you need to set VMnet as Host-Only. Next, configure the IP address block of the VMnet you have created as 192.168.8.0/24. After running the GNS3 program, design a network like in the image below.Īfter creating the topology, open the Virtual Network Editor and create a new VMnet.
