Below shows you how to install GNS3 onto Fedora 13. GNS is a Graphical Network Simulator allowing you to build virtual cisco networks
First we’ll have to install dependencies
[user@admin ~]$ su
Password: (Type in your root password here)
[root@admin /]# yum install python python-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel libXext-devel
[root@admin /]# yum install gcc-c++
Then installing Qt4 and GNS3
yum -y install PyQt4 wget telnet qemu xterm
cd ~
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gns-3/GNS3-0.7.2-src.zip?download
unzip GNS3-0.7.2-src.zip && rm -f GNS3-0.7.2-src.zip
mv GNS3-0.7.2-src /opt/GNS3
cd /opt/GNS3
mkdir Dynamips
mkdir IOS
mkdir Project
mkdir Cache
mkdir tmp
chmod o+rw -R ./Project
chmod o+rw -R ./tmp
cd Dynamips
wget http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/dynamips/dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin
chmod +x ./dynamips-0.2.8-RC2-x86.bin
Just running this command “/opt/GNS3/gns3” and now you can using GNS3 on your fedora. Or you can make icon on your desktop by right-clicking on desktop and select “create launcher” then name it GNS3 and in the command section type “/opt/GNS3/gns3”.
Happy fun for your GNS3
