Please note that serial console support must also be configured on the operating system running in your VirtualBox guest for this feature to work.

Enable console support to activate a serial console access to your virtual machine.

eth0 on Linux) configured with network address translation (NAT), allowing your virtual machine to access your host network and Internet (if your host can access it of course).

Reserve first NIC for VirtualBox NAT to host OS is to you have your first network interface card (e.g.

ifconfig on Linux, if you have 4 NICs on your virtual machine, then set it to 4 in GNS3, and if you have 1 NIC, then set it to 1 in GNS3).

Number of NICs is the number of network interface cards you will see inside your virtual machine (e.g.

When a virtual machine is selected, you can choose other options for it as well: To avoid confusion and possible errors, it is recommended to use the same identifier name as the name of the virtual machine. Choose an identifier name, a virtual machine from the virtual machine list (you may have to refresh the list using the provided button).

In GNS3, click on Preferences > VirtualBox.

When the connection between GNS3 and VirtualBox have been made, you need to tell GNS3 which virtual machines it should see and be able to use.

Launch the GNS3 startup wizard, select the GNS3 virtual machine, and it should be able to start the virtual machine. # ip addr add IP_address/ subnet_mask dev vboxnet0 See Network configuration#Routing table for more information on assigning IP addresses. Therefore, this must be performed manually in the terminal. For some reason, VirtualBox does not assign the IP to the interface, nor does it enable it. Note the IP address dedicated to the interface in the GUI. In most cases, it will be called vboxnet0 or similar. In File > Host Network Manager, set up a host-only network. To create a network connection between the GNS3 virtual machine and the host OS, a host-only network must be configured. Unzip and import the virtual machine in VirtualBox.

To avoid any problems with GNS3 not finding VirtualBox, it is recommended to install VirtualBox AFTER you install GNS3. To use VirtualBox machines for your topology, you need to install virtualbox and virtualbox-sdk. GNS3 supports QEMU, VirtualBox and VMware out of the box. When creating your topology (your virtual network), you most likely want to add machines to it. Install them and ensure the libvirtd daemon is running before using GNS3 with Cloud and NAT end devices. To make libvirt work correctly, GNS3 needs dnsmasq and ubridge AUR. Libvirt can be used to create the end devices "Cloud" (providing a virtual wan interfaces, isolating the tested network to the other devices in the main network) and NAT. Note: Once installed, it is important to enable and start the USER service, where USER is the username for the user-level account on which GNS3 will be run.
