Open vSwitch (OVS) is a multilayer (MLS) virtual switch licensed under the open-source Apache 2.0 license which is widely used in the field of virtual networking. With this open-source MLS switch, we can easily extend GNS3 switching capabilities. We can add this switch to GNS3 very quickly using a GNS3 OVS appliance. No base Linux system VM is required, no ISO images.
In this post I’m going to describe how to add and run OVS MLS inside of the GNS3 (local or remote).
The page provides summarized and updated (2020) overview of simulation and virtualization tools suitable for the practice of networking teachers or researchers.
We are using GNS3 remote server deployment, where sometimes (typically at a higher CPU load) GSN3 opens some project as very zoomed out. And, GNS3 zoom does not react at all (problem with zoom-in / zoom-out).
Solution => go to the Main menu, select View and then Zoom Reset (Ctrd +D).

This article is all about how to prepare ASA 8.4 in GNS3 simulation (on Windows 10, but compatible with other OS ) using QEMU.
In this post we describe how to run Fortigate FW VM appliance inside of the GNS3 (local or remote).
FortiGate VM includes a limited embedded 15-day trial license that supports:
The article describes how to run Junos vSRX box within UNL.
My working environment includes:
The UNetLab is a tool which integrates several toolkits (dynamips, qemu, IOL) into the one solution were we are able to run several network systems (routers, switches, sensors, PCs ...). The list of supported imeages is here: http://www.unetlab.com/documentation/supported-images/index.html.
This document describes step by step how to install Unified Network Lab (UNetLab ) and how to run Juniper vMX in the UNetLab.
Keywords: Unified Network Lab, UNetLab, Junos, Juniper, vMX.
This article continues on the series of articles about running junos within GNS3 and is explaining how to make and install JunOS 12.3R6.6 router using junos domestic package under Win 7 64bit OS environment.
