For older images, we use and maintain Dynamips; an emulator dedicated to emulate some Cisco hardware.In the new GNS3 1.4, there is a way to run a second category of switches and routers.These are classified as Routing and Switching virtual machines (or RSvms) for short.
![]() What are the differences Here are the major differences: IOS images are usually run in Dynamips however RSvms are housed in a virtual machine. IOS images are lower in cpu and memory so you can fit more of them in one topology. RSvms are all vendor Routing and Switching images that are larger in size but can be imported into GNS3 for real world network emulation. Cisco Switches Ios For Gns3 Download From CiscosImportant Points Availability Due to these platforms hitting End of Sale, End of Life, and End of Support status, the images are no longer available for download from Ciscos support sections. ![]() Cisco Switches Ios For Gns3 Series Get NewerIOS 15.x Only the c7200 series get newer IOS 15 images. All other platforms are now end-of-life and only support IOS 12.4. Please note that the IOSv appliance is based on IOS 15 and there are IOU (IOS on UNIX) images with IOS 15. Should I use a mainline and technology train image You will find the technology train images to contain the newest features but it may also contain the most bugs. We recommend Mainline over Technology train if you are interested on stability without the need of new features.Please see Cisco IOS Versions and Naming for more information. Minimum memory The minimum RAM is the amount of memory needed for IOS to work at maximum capacity with most feature configured and activated. From experience you can usually use a bit less RAM just fine. Recommended images We really recommend using the c3640, c3660, c3725, c3745 and c7200 IOS images listed below, they have proven to be the most stable in GNS3 provided you use the right amount of RAM and Idle-PC value. Idle-PC value When Dynamips runs an IOS image, a single instance can consume 100 of the processing time for a CPU core or thread. To remedy this, you can supply Dynamips with an Idle-PC value, to consume less CPU. To help automate the process of determining a valid Idle-PC value, you can use the Idle-PC finder button when importing a supported IOS image into GNS3: (Idle-PC values are not required with virtual machines or docker containers. Theyre only required for use by the Dynamips emulator) C1700 Series 1700s have 1 FastEthernet fixed port (C1700-MB-1ETH) on its motherboard, 2 subslots for WICs (maximum of 2 Ethernet ports or 4 serial ports), and no Network Module slots. ![]() IOS version 12.4.25d (Mainline) File name: c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin. Proposed idle-PC value: 0x80358a60 IOS version 12.4.15T14 (Technology train). Proposed idle-PC value: 0x824a4dc4 C2600 Series 2600s have one or two Ethernet or FastEthernet interfaces on its motherboard, 3 subslots for WICs (maximum of 6 serial ports) and 1 Network Module slot (maximum of 4 Ethernet ports or 16 FastEthernet ports). IOS version 12.4.25d (Mainline) File name: c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin. Proposed idle-PC value: 0x80519c48 IOS version 12.4.15T14 (Technology train) File name: c2600-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T14.bin. Proposed idle-PC value: 0x8027ec88 C3620 The c3620 supports up to 2 Network Modules (maximum of 8 Ethernet ports, 32 FastEthernet ports or 8 serial ports).
