GNS3 WorkBench 12.3 Windows/OS X Installation Instructions


Download Instructions
=====================

Download ExtractToUserGNS3Folder.zip nto your home directory (the same directory as your GNS3 folder)

Prerequisites:
==============

Before you can even begin to get GNS3 WorkBench (Windows/OS X) install you will need two elements:

1. GNS3v1.x already installed on your Windows/Macintosh computer
2. Images for a Cisco IOS routers, ASA and Juniper routers.

If you don't have a copy of a Cisco IOS, you will still be able to use GNS3 WorkBench, but you will be restricted to the ONE routing lab that you could run using a Vyetta image - which you can then use as a model to create more labs of your own.

But ideally, before you start you will have copies of:

c3725-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T10.bin [to run Cisco routers - this is the only image you need for MOST labs and exercises]
c3640-ik9o3s-mz.124-25a.bin [to run GNS3 Vault exercises]
c7200-adventerprisek9-mz.150-1.M.bin [to run some GNS3 Vault exercises]
asa842-k8.bin [to run Cisco Adaptive Security Appliances]
jinstall-9.6R1.13-domestic-signed.tgz [to run Juniper Junos]

These files should be stored in your regular GNS3 Images folder and already added as images to GNS3 (Edit | IOS images and hypervisors) and an idle-PC value found.

You can then decompress the contents of this GNS3.zip file into your home directory (the same directory as your GNS3 folder), and merge the files in the .zip archive with your GNS3 directory:
  on Windows, your home directory is typically C:\Users\<username>\
  on OS X,  your home directory is typically /Users/<username>/

Once unzipped, read the readMe.html file.

Enjoy
