Once the install is finished, you can get your old images back by opening both your /home/user/.gns3/gns3.ini and gns3 (copy).ini in a text editor. But I told you to make a backup of that earlier - I'll assume you called it gns3 (copy).ini

Then the new exercises etc will be downloaded, and - like it says, your gns3.ini will get clobbered. home/user/.gns3/gns3.ini file before continuing.ĭownload GNS3 WorkBench and GNS3 Vault Exercises? y/ny Install, they will be lost, so you may wish to backup your If you have added images and idle-PC values to your GNS3 WARNING: Your existing GNS3 settings (in /home/user/.gns3/gns3.ini) willīe overwritten by this process and set to a standard GNS3 WorkBench If you skip this step you will still have an awesome GNS3 appliance, but :-Download GNS3 WorkBench and GNS3 Vault Labs/Exercise

SO, since you have restored your /home/user/ directory already, you can save about 300MB of downloading by saying 'n' at the following stage: It is also smart enough to realise you already have the qemu VMs in place, but NOT smart enough to realise you have the VirtualBox VMs. The script will make sure you have the latest versions of Wireshark, qemu, VirtualBox and the other bits you might need/want including of course dynamips and GNS3.

This is really only necessary if you have added additional images to your gns3 - but since there is a good chance you've done that, I'll explain how to preserve these later. Making a copy through the file manage will call it gns3 (copy).ini.

I have completely rewritten the script to change your firmware images if you need to do thatīefore you run the install script, you may wish to back up your /home/user/.gns3/gns3.ini file.

I have rewritten all the help screens to be a little more informative about the Snapshot system.

There is a new monster exercise called ICND1 Readiness test (see this blogpost about that - apologies if the link doesn't work yet - I haven't finished the article yet).

Hint#2: If you have a copy of a Juniper router image - eg in your ~/GNS3/Images/Junos directory, the installer will guide you through the preparation of the image for use with GNS3 Hint#1: If you have a copy of asa84.bin in your ~/GNS3/Images/ASA directory, the installer will prepare it for use with GNS3 Of course if you choose all of the options - you will have ended up installing GNS3 WorkBench :) * Updates the GNS3 WorkBench and GNS3 Vault Folder and Desktop Icons * Fixes file permissions so you can run the labs smoothly * if you have Juniper router image available, the script then takes you through the tedious Juniper router install process.

* If you have the ASA image available, it will be prepared for use in GNS3 GNS3 WorkBench and GNS3 Vault exercises and sets up the default settings in GNS3 a collection of Virtual Box VMs that are used in the GNS3 WorkBench a specially prepared Qemu freeBSD image for use with Juniper routers

So here's the script package - you can use it in two waysĪ) To install GNS3 WorkBench on your Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (32 bit works - may be problems with Qemu on 64 bit)ī) To install just GNS3 on your Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - and optionally insall all of these things as well: (it also works on Llinux Mint 16 (32 bit)) I've just tested GNS3WorkBench on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - this is great news, because this is a LTS (Long Time Support) version of Ubuntu.
