Fedora16 uses the GNS3 Simulator

In Linux (Fedora16), four packages must be installed before GNS3 is used. You can use yum to install the required packages. By default, four packages are available in the source. We recommend that you use 163 of the source, which is extremely fast, the default source is too slow. 1. First install the four required packages, open the terminal, and switch to the root. [Root@www.linuxidc.com/] # yuminstalqt & nbs

1. First install the four required packages, open the terminal, and switch to the root.

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com/] # yum instal qt

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com/] # yum instal python

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com/] # yum instal sip

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com/] # yum instal pyqt

2. Download gns3-0.8.2-src.tar.gz: www.gns3.net/download/

3. After the file is downloaded, switch to the directory where it is located and decompress the file.

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com download] # tar xzvf GNS3-0.8.2-src.tar.gz

4. Create a GNS3 working directory:

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # mkdir project

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # mkdir ios

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # mkdir dynimips

5. modify directory permissions:

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # chmod o + rw-R project

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # chmod o + rw-R ios

[Root @ www.linuxidc.com GNS3-0.8.2-src] # chmod o + rw-R dynimips

Then you can enter./gns3 in the terminal to start GNS3. The configuration is the same as that in windows.

Note:

1. If you are prompted that the permission is insufficient when you enter./gns3, you can use chmod to add the execution permission.

2. Download The Dynamips 0.2.8-RC2 binary for Linux (32-bit) file separately and place it in your dynimips directory. You also need to add the execution permission.

3. Disable the iptables firewall.
