Import the OS10 appliances to GNS3 client

Simulating Network Devices Page 14


Follow the import appliance wizard

Simulating Network Devices Page 15


Repeat the import steps for each desired model
Imported appliances will appear under the router
section

Create a new GNS3 project with


OS10 switches

Each OS10 switch consumes


approx. 4GB of RAM

Once the GNS3 project is


started, the OS10 appliance will
default to an automatic OS
install via ONIE

The OS10 appliances may take


10-15 minutes to install OS10 to
primary and secondary partitions
(depending on the hardware
assigned to GNS3)

Allocating an insufficient amount


of CPU resources may prevent
the OS from installing correctly

Allow a few minutes to pass


before attempting to login
