![]() My KVM GNE3VM has Virtio Blk disk and Virtio network adapters which guaranties best possible performance. I need to investigate it further to have my eight vSRX3.0 devices of JNCIE-SEC lab infrastructure easy to use with fabolous GNS3 ennvironment :-) That is why I started to think what differs GNS3VM for different HV platforms. I was really surprised GNS3VM on ESXi behaved so well (I cant use it since borrow space for tests only). I think I will stay with gns3-server installed for the time being on the top of Ubuntu18.04/KVM running on PVE platform until I find why GNS3VM boots my vSRX so slowly. I thought NFS could be the problem but checked that it is not. IT SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO MY UBUNTU/KVM CASES. I spent the whole day looking at GNS3VM settings but could not really find reasons why it was the worst case here. A small improvements when added "pti=off kpti=off spectre_v2=off" in /etc/default/grub and updated GRUB2 but it was really 2-3 minutes better that 14 minutes in plain PVE - Ubuntu 18.04/KVM - Juniper vSRX cases. I did all tests having KVM acceleration enabled, KVM nesting enabled, ACPIv disabled, PML disabled and finally QEMU KSM disabled. ESXi 6.7 - GNS3 VM for VMWare 2.2rc3 (local storage) - VSRX3 19.2R1 - 4m16s. ![]() PVE 5.3 - GNS3 VM for VMWare/Converted (nfs storage) - VSRX3 19.2R1 - 26m15s.My numbers are quite different with Juniper vSRX 19.2R1. That is understood but according to RedHat's nested guests level 1 and 2 should be comparable. I did some more research today and it seems that nesting KVM guests costs performance. So the question is if GNS3VM for different HVs are different or exactly the same? After obtaining the IP, from PCI try pinging PC2 and from PC2 try pinging an external DNS, like 1.1.1.1.It looks like GNS3 VM for Virtualbox is distributed with VMDK disks (which are supported in VBox).Open a console for both VPCS and obtain an IP from the DHCP with the command ip dhcp.Connect the NAT cloud and the 2 VPCS to the Switch.Create a new project and from the left pane Browse all devices icon drag the NAT Cloud, a switch and 2 VPCS.If you can't see the correct VM name try refershing the settings. In GNS3 VM preferences make sure Enable the GNS3 VM is enabled and the correct Virtualization engine is selected. ![]() You can leave the other settings as default unless you have a specific reason to customise them: In order to be sure networking is going to work properly, select Server from the left menu and verify Enable local server is flagged and Host binding: matches your GNS3 VM subnet. In General you can set your own preferences for where to store your projects etc. When you are able to ping the GNS3 VM it's time to open GNS3 and check its Preferences.Īt first execution, allow root permissions for uBridge to interact with network interfaces: If ping does not work check if the vboxnet0 has been assigned the correct network, from the VirtualBox menu -> File -> Host Network Manager.: Try and ping the GNS3 VM IP from macOS terminal. Make sure KVM support available is set to True and take note of the IP in this case 192.168.56.104. Start the GNS3 VM and wait for the boot process to complete. These permissions are needed from the GNS3 application to control the GNS3 VM (start, stop, configure interfaces, cpu, ram, etc.) macOS might warn you about permission to monitor files and control the system from your terminal. On the next screen click on import and you should be good to go. For mac users, just double clic GNS3.VM.VirtualBox.2.2.18.zip you just downloaded and a new folder GNS3 VM will be automatically created for you containing the extracted files.įrom VirtualBox UI select Import and browse for the file GNS VM.ovf inside the GNS3 VM folder. Now it's time to extract the GNS3 VM and import it into VirtualBox. Just drag GNS3 into your application folder and it's done: ![]() The installation is pretty straightforward. In this article I will be using VirtualBox, so fell free to download and install it as well if you'd like to follow along. If you don't have an account, you will have to create one!įor optimal performance, also download the GNS3 VM. Head over to GNS3 software page and download macOS version 2.2.18. We will focus on these specific version, GAs at the time of writing but hopefully the same instructions might be applicable for slightly different versions: In this article, I'll show you how to install and configure GNS3 on a Mac Catalina.
