Lethe's Ccielogs

Hello all, I've been asked this via mail as it seems some people are having problems making GNS3 working with this release of the Operating System so here we go. 

First of all you need to download the GNS3-All-In-One package from here. Once you've downloaded the package simply launch the exe file and basically just answer yes/next whenever prompted, just be sure to select all components when asked like in the following picture :

Once the the installation is completed GNS3 will ask you to configure and test Dynamips, here if you're using an x64 OS the path will need to be changed to reflect the actual location of where the Dynamips executable has been installed as you can see in the following pics :

If after changing the path the Dynamips test still shows a red Failed the problem may reside in Windows Firewall blocking the Dynamips executable, keep also in mind you could see a pop up asking what to do (of course tell the Firewall to simply allow the executable).

Once done this you're ready to go and start your Cisco Lab after loading some IOS images I've already blogged on how to configure GNS3 and make it work!

Happy labbing and as always please feel free to send me an email or comment below this post.

Cheer Lethe.
