Where do I get IOS images?

1. Ios Gns3 Free Download Cisco

Feb 06, 2017  In this video I show you how to download Cisco IOS images and Cisco VIRL images to run IOSv, IOSvL2 and ASAv. I can only show you LEGAL ways of.

One of the most common questions asked in the GNS3 forums is “Where do I get Cisco IOS images”?

Important

Unfortunately due to legal requirements, GNS3 is unable to provide IOS images or any other Cisco images. You will need to provide your own images to use them with GNS3.

Note

Some vendors make their software images freely available, but unfortunately this is not true for Cisco images.

Here are some suggestions on ways to get Cisco images:

Cisco website:

Download images directly from Cisco: https://software.cisco.com/download/navigator.html

NoteA Service Contract is required for downloading of images.

VIRL:

If you don’t have a service contract with Cisco, you can purchase a VIRL license to get access to multiple images that are very useful for GNS3 labs. The cost of this varies from $79.99 to $199.99 per year:

NOTEYou can use VIRL images without license authentication. You can therefore download the VIRL images, integrate them with GNS3 and use them offline if needed.

Physical Cisco devices:

If you own a physical router like a Cisco 3725 router, you can copy the image from the router and import it into GNS3.
