The scale and simplicity you get with GNS3 to me surpasses anything else out there. GNS3 is a great product that is truly amazing when it comes to learning.
When I first tried to power on the L2 image, I received the message below. The default file contained the following data. What I did was simply take out the reference to the older image. These are simply JSON files it looks like. I was not able to find the IOSv The problem is the wizard will not move forward with this error shown.Ī workaround I found was that you can simply edit the. I ran into an issue after logging into my VIRL account and looking for the files it required. Again, the appliance is not the files needed itself, simply a framework.

When VIRL came out, I jumped on the license to obtain a copy and while I think it holds a lot of promise, it is a pain to get setup and maintain and I am not a fan of the VM Maestro interface. I have long been a fan of GNS3 and they have certainly made some tremendous strides in improving the application and extending its functionality. There has never been a better time for network learning and simulation as there are a lot of great products out there for the prospective network engineer, virtualization engineer, or server administrator to improve his or her skills in the networking arena. So if you hate the interface of VIRL, you can have the best of both worlds.
