Downloaded the two images.

Installed the L2 image in GNS3 on my Ubuntu laptop. I gave it 640MB or RAM and it worked just fine. My only issue is that GNS3 cannot push a template startup-config. So you have to create the IOL device and do not define a Startup-config.

To get the file to work with GNS3 on Ubuntu, I also renamed the file to give it a .bin extension. Also, you need to give the file executable permissions:

Tried this on gns3 running with a VM in Windows and on eve-ng. did not work. The L3 image works fine as is.

I did manage to get the IOL L2 image to run on GNS3. I run my GNS3 images directly on my Ubuntu host. I guess the way I do it must be very similar to how you would do it when using the GNS3 VM.

When I first tried running the IOL L2 image, it would not run because the image was not an executable. I thus had to `chmod +x` the file. 

After that, I managed to add it into GNS3 as an IOL device, with no issues. But when I tried running it, GNS3 threw an error. I think the problem that GNS3 had in the beginning was actually writing the startup-config into the switch's NVRAM (or flash, whatever).

GNS3 just couldn't do it and it threw an error. (I am not exactly sure but, if I remember correctly, the error was something like "GNS3 could not find nvram in the expected location"). Well, I thought, the only reason that GNS3 is looking for the nvram during bootup, to begin with, would be to put the startup-config in there. I knew it wasn't the IOL image that couldn't find its NVRAM, because it was GNS3 that was complaining, not the IOL itself.

So I went to the device's settings in GNS3, and told GNS3 to not use a startup-config. To be sure that the issue had nothing to do with the VM's RAM, I also bumped RAM to 614 MB.

I started the switch, and it worked. It actually boots up pretty fast too.

I later tried 512 MB RAM, and that worked as well.

I tried the L2 IOL because my experience that those ones are a little harder to get to run, and have not yet tested the IOL L3 image.

Are you getting an error message when trying to run the L2 image in GNS3? Can you post the error here? And how much RAM did you give it?

[mikedata]

Thank you very much.

@w1z4rd  Hi Guys,  on GNS3 ubuntu Host VM. thank you... 

 

Edited March 30, 2024 by jitendra

[w1z4rd]

Nice @jitendra!

Did you have to do anything special, or did you just add the image through the GNS3 UI?

[Cirus]

Getting the same error as @netkillui. Looks like the error is limited to GNS3 VM. Can anyone help us out fix this?

@w1z4rd Just added image on GUI gns3 host ubuntu also follow your steps.  thanks!

can you test these two commands :

sed -i -e 's/127.0.0.1 xml.cisco.com//' /etc/hosts

Can you try running the binary as root? Something like `sudo x86_64_crb_linux_l2-adventerprisek9-ms.bin` ?

[hariram]

The host file already have xml.cisco.com

not sure i have understand this command "sudo x86_64_crb_linux_l2-adventerprisek9-ms.bin" - dont think that work in Linux.

i run manually i get below error :

From your output, it seems that this problem has nothing to do with permissions. But for completeness' sake, try the following:  

 

`sudo` is a fairly common tool in Linux. As far as I can tell, Ubuntu has always included `sudo`, and since the GNS3 VM is based on Ubuntu, I would be very surprised if `sudo` didn't work in the GNS3 VM shell. To see how `sudo` works, try the following within the GNS3 VM:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

`sudo` will ask for your password, and if you provide the `gns3` user's password, you should get the directory contents.

Then try the 3 following, separate commands:

This is the hidden content, please

• Sign In
• or
• Sign Up

 

Another thing you can try is to copy the .yaml file that you can find with the image into the same directory as the image (/opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin/ in your case).

1. remove xml.cisco.com entry from /etc/hosts file

2. run this command "iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m string --hex-string "|03|xml|05|cisco|03|com" --algo bm -j DROP"

3. Try IOL2 image again.

@netkillui Hi. Thank you for the images. How to run them on EVE-NG Community? They don't work for me.
