Cisco ISE specifications:

  1. 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.

Only one Qemu image can be used by all your nodes across all your topologies; VirtualBox needs one image per node, per topology, which can add up very quickly. Also with Qemu, the -nographic option allows you to use another console than the default one. The network adapters type must be e1000, instead of virtio. And here's the result.

How to add ISE in EVE-NG

1. Login in EVE via SSH and Create ISE image folder in the EVE.

2. Using WinSCP / FileZilla via SCP or SSH connect to your EVE and upload ise-2.6.0.156.SPA.x86_64.iso file to this directory.

3. From EVE CLI go to newly created ISE folder and rename uploaded ISO file to cdrom.iso.

4. Create virtio HDD for ISE

5. Create new LAB in the EVE and add ISE node, connect it to Home Management cloud (Cloud0). Settings for ISE node are: CPU x4, RAM x16384M, 1 xEthernet. Console VNC, during install first time.

Qemu line in Imge edit:

-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -smbios type=1,product=KVM -serial mon:stdio -nographic -no-user-config -nodefaults -display none -vga std -rtc base=utc

6. Start ISE node and when setup prompt appears, shutdown ISE node.

7. Check lab ID number on EVE side bar “Lab details”, For Example:

8. EVE CLI: Convert image from lab tmp folder to defaults image location. In the command below is used lab ID (above) and as we added on lab single node, node ID is 1. ISE image foldername match what we created before. Number 0 in the line below is user POD number. Admin pod is 0.

9. Delete install CD ISO from image folder:

10. Do Fix permissions:

Advanced instructions on how to make your image smaller in size (sparsify&compress). RECOMMENDED !

  1. After done all the steps above and default image is created, you can compress its HDD and make it smaller.

IMPORTANT: for compressing an image you must have sufficient free space on your EVE host, free space must exceed the total space (200GB in this example, We created 200Gb virtio HDD for ISE) of the HDD you plan to shrink. The space needed can vary but will be the total space of the disk to be shrunk plus the size of the final sparsified and compressed image. To be safe you should have double the size of the HDD you want to shrink as free space on your EVE host. In our example we needed 200GB +GB of free HDD space. Once this process is done, the temporary file(s) will be deleted and free space reclaimed.

  1. From the CLI: go to your ISE image directory:

perform the sparsify command:

  1. It can take some time and another compressed image will be created in the same image directory
  2. now you can rename original hda.qcow2 file to orig.qcow2
  1. Rename the compressed image name to hda.qcow2:

  1. now you can test your new compressed image on a lab, just wipe the node and start it.
  2. If the compressed node works fine, you can delete your original source image:

You can also visit on eve-ng site, if you are facing any issue.

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#

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.

Cisco Gns3 Download

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

  • Routing and Switching Virtual machines from Vendors

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.
