From experience you can usually use a bit less RAM just fine.

The minimum RAM is the amount of memory needed for IOS to work at maximum capacity with most feature configured and activated. 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. You will find the technology train images to contain the newest features but it may also contain the most bugs. Should I use a mainline and technology train image? Please note that the IOSv appliance is based on IOS 15 and there are IOU (IOS on UNIX) images with IOS 15. All other platforms are now end-of-life and only support IOS 12.4. Only the c7200 series get newer IOS 15 images. Currently, the c7200 images are the only ones still available for download for those with a support contract.

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.ĭue 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.

IOS images are lower in cpu and memory so you can fit more of them in one topology.

IOS images are usually run in Dynamips however R+Svms are housed in a virtual machine.

What are the differences? Here are the major differences: These are classified as Routing and Switching virtual machines (or R+Svms) for short. In the new GNS3 1.4, there is a way to run a second category of switches and routers. For older images, we use and maintain Dynamips an emulator dedicated to emulate some Cisco hardware. Do whatever you need to do to copy ASDM.GNS3 offers multiple ways to emulate IOS.

Thus, copy ASDM via SCP or from ASA console and use “copy” to get the file from a http or tftp server. If for some reason the 9.15-16 version doesn’t work for you, try 8.4 as well that I linked above, it was more stable.ĪSDM does work, however you need to copy it into the ASA BEFORE turning into multiple context mode due to not having a proper MGMT interface and not being able to copy files into contexts. If the ASA crashed on “invalid argument” while rebooting, just manually reboot it! For example mine crashed a lot on “invalid argument” while rebooting only. On this final reboot you should see the following output from “show mode” When they come back up, test switching to multiple context mode with the followingĬhanging into “mode multiple” requires yet another reboot however that’s it! Finally “write me” and reboot your ASA with “reload” (note if the ASA freezes on “reload” just manually power it off and on via GNS3 it will still work)ġ6. NOTE: applying the key takes A LONG time (5 minutes for me)ġ5.

Once it is started, just apply the activation key (activation-key 0xb23bcf4a 0x1c713b4f 0x7d53bcbc 0xc4f8d09c 0x0e24c6b6)

Leave defaults click next (it wont actually use 30GB)ġ4. Click “create” so we can create an empty harddrive, thin provisionedġ0. Name the Image something and click the “legacy ASA” boxĨ. On the top right click EDIT > Then Preferencesĥ. In case of 915-16 not working for you, please fall back to 8.4 ( )Ģ.

Small issue with the 915-16 version: It required manual reload via gns3… The “reload” command hangs it most of the time.

Requirements:ģ- Activate code for context license (activation-key 0xb23bcf4a 0x1c713b4f 0x7d53bcbc 0xc4f8d09c 0x0e24c6b6) Instead we will have to use ASA version 9.1.15-16 and activate it with a key IN GNS3.
