GNS3 is a network simulation software that allows users to simulate complex networks. It is a powerful tool for network engineers, in particular those who are preparing for certification exams.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to install GNS3 on NetBSD.
Before we proceed with the installation, you need to have the following:
GNS3 requires Python 3.x and Qt5 to run. Before we install GNS3, we need to install the dependencies first.
Open the terminal and type the following command to install the necessary packages:
sudo pkgin install py37-qt5 qterminal py37-pip
Once the dependencies are installed, we can now proceed with the installation of GNS3.
Open the terminal and type the following command to install GNS3 using pip:
sudo pip install gns3-gui
The installation process may take some time, depending on your internet connectivity.
After the installation is complete, you can start GNS3 by typing the following command in the terminal:
gns3
GNS3 will start, and you can start creating network topologies.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install GNS3 on NetBSD. With GNS3, you can simulate complex networks and learn network engineering concepts. Start exploring GNS3 and create your network topologies.
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!
