GNS3 is a network simulation software that allows you to simulate complex networks using virtual machines, routers, switches, and other networking devices. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install GNS3 on Fedora Server Latest.
Before continuing with this tutorial, make sure you have the following:
It is always recommended to update the system before installing any new software. Use the following command to update your system.
sudo dnf update
Before installing GNS3, you need to install some dependencies required for GNS3 to work.
sudo dnf install python3 python3-pip python3-devel libvirt libvirt-devel libguestfs-tools-guestfish qemu-kvm xauth wireshark -y
Now, you can install GNS3 using the following command.
sudo pip3 install gns3-server
The above command will install GNS3 Server only. If you want to install the GNS3 GUI along with the server, use the following command instead.
sudo pip3 install gns3
After installation, start the GNS3 server by running the following command.
sudo gns3server
You should see the following message on the terminal.
Server started successfully
By default, GNS3 server listens on all interfaces. If you want the server to listen only on a specific interface, you can specify it in the configuration file. Edit the configuration file located at ~/.config/GNS3/2.2/gns3_server.conf with your favorite text editor
If you have installed GNS3 server without the GUI, you can install the GUI on your local machine. Download the appropriate package for your operating system from the GNS3 website.
To install the GNS3 GUI, follow the instructions given in the package.
Once the GNS3 server is up and running, you can access the GNS3 GUI by opening a web browser and typing the following URL: http://<server_ip>:3080
Replace <server_ip> with the IP address of your Fedora Server Latest.
You should now be able to use GNS3 on your Fedora Server Latest.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install GNS3 on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use it to simulate complex networks using virtual machines, routers, switches, and other networking devices.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
