Download GNS3 All in one and IOS of router and Switch. GNS3 software is very excellent complementary tool to real work practice for Network engineer, administrator and other people who want practice and work on real cisco router and switch. People who want to take certification of CCNA, CCNP, CCIE and another cisco certification GNS provide a good plate form for practice. After installing the GNS3 program, follow the steps below to add a new Router / Switch IOS image. After running GNS3, the first opening of the program is as follows.Select Local Server in the Setup Wizard window. How to Add L3 Switch in GNS3. To add a new device, click Edit. From the Edit menu, click Preferences. In the General Preferences window, click the IOS Routers tab. Previously we added L2 Switch from Qemu VMs. To add L3 Switch, click the New button in the IOS Router. Cisco 2600 Series IOS Supported by Gns3. Following 2600 series IOS are supported by GNS3: With the XM series like Cisco 2610XM, 2620XM, 2650XM, 2621XM and 2651XM IOS images you can use two Fast-Ethernet interfaces i.e. CISCO2600-MB-2FE, one NM slots with max four Ethernet interfaces or 16 ports Fast-Ethernet.
GNS3 is network simulator and offers number of ways to emulate Cisco Image or other IOS. YOu can run different Cisco IOS images in gns3 with Dynamips. In Gns3 by default there is no way of running Cisco switch, but using Cisco 3640 IOS image you can convert your router into switch. There is a module i.e. NM-16ESW module which can be used with Cisco 3640 IOS in gns3 and provide you the switching features in GNS3.
GNS3 offers multiple ways to emulate IOS. For older images, we use and maintain Dynamips; an emulator dedicated to emulate some Cisco hardware. Dynamips can run unmodified IOS images. 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 R+Svms) for short. What are the differences? Here are the major differences:
- IOS images are usually run in Dynamips however R+Svms are housed in a virtual machine.
- IOS images are lower in cpu and memory so you can fit more of them in one topology.
- R+Svms are all vendor Routing and Switching images that are larger in size but can be imported into GNS3 for real world network emulation.

Important 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 Cisco's support sections. Currently, the c7200 images are the only ones still available for download for those with a support contract.
IOS 15.x#
Resolume arena 6 crack full version download. 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. This value will vary between devices/images. 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. They're only required for use by the Dynamips emulator)

Cisco Catalyst Switches#
Dynamips is incapable of running IOS images from Catalyst Switches, as it's unable to emulate the ASICs used in those type of devices.
For switching, you can use an IOU L2 binary image, or an IOSvL2 virtual disk image with Qemu.
However, if you want to use Dynamips you can use the EtherSwitch module with 2600s, 3600s and 3700s Series. Keep in mind that this module works differently (it uses the vlan database etc.) and does NOT support the following features:
- Access Switch Device Manager (SDM) Template
- ACL – Improved Merging Algorithm
- ARP Optimization
- BGP Increased Support of Numbered as-path Access Lists to 500
- BGP Restart Neighbor Session After max-prefix Limit Reached

To recap: You can import many images using Virtualbox or VMWare. ASIC based models like the Cisco Catalyst switches are impossible to import as a Routing and Switching image.
If you require more switching features, it is recommended to use larger Virtual Machine Switches and Routers (like the ones from VIRL) that run inside your choice of Qemu, Virtualbox or VMWare. For advanced switching IOSv and/or IOU is recommended.
Working 3745 IOS download for Gns3
What is IOS image?
IOS image is software or Operating System used in most Cisco routers and switches. IOS image support different packages like routing, switching and inter-networking etc. You can use these IOS images with GNS3. Gns3 is one of the famous network simulator and its hot feature is that it can run the real Cisco IOS image, as compare to other network simulator like packet-tracer which perform all functions base on programming. If you are beginner then learn more here:Cisco Switch Basic Configuration, how to use or configure GNS3
Remember only the c7200 series ios images get newer IOS images. According to Cisco all other platforms are now 'end of life', but you can used these older ios images as well with Gns3.
Gns3 3745 IOS image Details
Cisco 3700 Series are the multi-service routers provide LAN/WAN connectivity, new high-density service modules, and support for multiple advanced integration modules. You can use NM-16ESW module with this 3745 IOS, which will enable the switching functionality in GNS3. In this way you will be able to perform different switching labs with GNS3 like Vlans, inter-vlan (Router on stick), VTP (vlan trunking protocol), different multi-layer functionality etc. learn more about Layer 3 Switching vs Routing
From here you can download Cisco 3745 IOS image for your GNS3 and perform different GNS3 labs with this IOS. Remember this IOS is only for informational, practice purposes and for GNS3 used. If you need the IOS for your real hardware then it is better to Contact Cisco for latest and best IOS for your device. Following is the details and recommended setting of Gns3 3745 IOS image for your GNS3 setup. This Image was tested with Gns3 1.1 and i hope this will also work fine with the latest GNS3 version as well.
IOS version =12.4.25d (Mainline)
File name: c3745-adventerprisek9-mz.124-25d.bin
