GNS3 Talks: How to connect GNS3 to a physical network (Part 1).

that video was wicket I love it.

Hello David ,
I need Open CLI Cloud Because I need Give Two Interface IP Can You Help me

Amazing. Can you do this on EVE-NG?

It has been five years since you created this video, and it is still valid. I'm using GNS3 vers 2.2.39

Perfect as usual, thank you so much!

beautiful voice and beautiful presentation

Graciaaaaaas

Thanks for the video. My setup uses a ESXi GNS3 appliance.
The cloud connections to NOS's and hosts in GNS3 are very very very slow via the cloud connection, why is this? Anyway to speed them up?

HELP!! i have followed this but my R2 router cannot receive an IP address from the Cloud. My VMware VM has the 3 adapters just like yours. I am not sure what i am doing wrong. A packet capture between the two shows that the Discover messages are leaving the router but no one is responding to offer an IP it appears. I have turned off my windows firewall, restarted GNS3 application and VM but same issue. Can anyone advise what i am doing wrong?

you saved me. Excellent explanation on why using eth2 and where it came from VMWare. Very clear! Thank you so much!!!

Thank You David ! Finally a great solution (without MS looopback interface). You saved me a lot of time with this video. It works great ! I've made it with Virtual Box, but this makes no difference. Thank you again !!

another straight forward lesson thank you sir easy to understand.

Just thanks, and thanks again David! It seems like any problem I encounter on my journey with GNS3, CML, networking in general... you have a video with a clear and concise solution. Its amazing your breadth of content. So thanks again for all you do, it is very, very much appreciated.

very useful !!!!!!

I have been at it all day trying to do this in AWS. I am running GNS3 on a Windows 2016 server in AWS. Does anyone know of a way to get a GNS3 router to talk to devices in the local AWS VPC?

every time i look up how to do this, i find this video and it is not helpful at all because this is the only thing that comes up for doing this. Your video fails to explain where the bridge interface you're using comes from. I've looked at part 1 and everywhere else and I cant find a reference to the bridge interface you're using nor how I'm supposed to let other PCs connect to the virtual routes across my local network. If this is really bridged into the real world, it doesnt really seem to be bridged to anything but outside the VM on my own PC and nothing else will allow connections. Can you please provide any explanations as to where the bridge interface is coming from that I am supposed to point virtual box at to get this to allow outside connections to the routers on the inside of the VM

Dear David, why I am having 60% packet loss while trying to ping a Router in GNS3 topology from my Physical PC?

You are the boss, David!

Could you explain where is a DHCP server? Can I assign static ip address without usin DHCP?

I have followed the steps, adapter 1 is for host network and 3 is bridged network(using wired), my appliance is connected to cloud e2 but my appliance is not getting ip from the bridged network, it is getting ip from the host network. I have tried to completely reset the topology but the issue still remains, going to ask around in the community but checking here first to see if anyone has experienced the same and if there was any resolution. ty

Does anyone know how to connect mac physical machine to GNS3 VM devices?
I am not able to create tap0 interface

I struggled big time getting that first ping out into the real world and after looking through what feels like an ocean of misleading guides I landed on this one; everything worked on the spot after following it. I'm definitely going to recommend your channel to my networking friends. Thank you so much for explaining what everything did and why you did it the way you did.

I'm glad you warn people, about bridging with WIFI cards. I tried that in the past, thats very painfull to get working.
As i have understood the problem, it is the AP that will not accept other MAC addresses, than the connected WIFI card.

So you would basically, need the software to make it look like all trafic going through was from the WIFI card. (Kinda like PAT)

Thank You So so so much Sir I was stuck at a problem nothing helped me until I watched this of yours Video ......
Thank YOu So mUch sir , Great Video

sir can we use wifi adapters to gain internet access in GNS3 topology , as wifi NIC wont supports so !?

thanks

i have had problems using other instructors techniques to get gns3 connected to my network...but this guy helped me (again) !!

Is there a way to set this up with using GNS3 on ESXi? I have a remote server running ESXi and I have GNS3 VM installed on it. On a separate PC I have gns3 installed and only connect to the remote server on ESXi (no local GNS VM or server setup). Is there a way to bridge the connection this way?

DO we need to perform any configuration at the physical network side for this to work. @David Bombal

David, you are very smooth while you talk which takes away anxiety while learning catching up stuff.
But i was panicked, when i heard a WARNING buzz, lol

Hello David. Thank you for the video. I just got a query on this. As you said your PC is in VLAN 10 do you have a switch between the PC and the physical router? Does the switch has VLANS on it and doing router on stick ok the physical router? Just confused on this. Thank you

where have u made use of the cloud after connecting it to the network?

david sir please reply.
when u bridge the adapter to the gns vm. which adapter is getting used in this case , ur computer's physical ethernet adapter or that usb adapter ?

Thank you so much!

Hello Mr. Bombal - How can you accomplished this using a MacBook pro?

Thank you for this. Still on the 1st half of your Udemy CCNA course and have more courses in my cart. Videos like this one are gold.

You're a lifesaver MATE! :)

Can you explain this for ESXI GNS3 VM installation? please

Thanks David...
I would like to addon the way in which if you dont have the physical or USB ethernet.
Goto Start -> run -> hdwwiz -> Select install the hardware manually -> Select Network Adapter -> Select Microsoft -> Select "Microsoft KM Test Loopback Adapter"

Again Go to Start -> run -> ncpa.cpl -> Select above created adapter i.e. Microsoft KM Test Loopback Adapter and assign the IP address to it from same subnet i.e. router's IP and Network adapter IP should be in same subnet.

Within Virtual Machine, while adding the bridged network adapter, for at that time select above created "Microsoft KM Test Loopback Adapter"

Remaining all the steps are very well explained by David.

Hi

I have a server on which I am running ESXI and running virtual machine windows 10 in that. I have installed gns3 in that Virtual machine and now I am trying to connect devices in that GNS3 which is running in the virtual machine to my Physical rack. When I bridge the Virtual machine NIC to gns3 using loopback I am able to get the IP on the GNS3 router using DHCP with default gateway. But I am unable to reach the internet from that GNS3 router or my physical rack.

Thank you so much David,watched your videos and installed GNS3 VM and every your instruction helped me. Brilliant,just brilliant

Hey David,
Is it possible to have physical devices represented in GNS3? I want to have my physical lab appear in gns3 and be able to console into them via the GNS3 GUI. I have one usb cable that splits into 8 console cables. What do you think? Please let me know. Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial. I did it with my wifi network adaptor. I've shared the connection from my wifi adataptor and had cuztimized the the 3rd GNS3 VM network adatptor to VMnet8 which i have shared with my physical wifi adapator. Sorry for my english. It works fine.

can you make a similar video for baremetal gns3 ?

your videos are great man

why there are dislikes smh

Hello David, I am working with Mikrotik routers.


Actually I can connect to external physical network via GNS3 as inserting my Mikrotik Routers on my topology. But I get much more packet loss when I get worked on pinging gateway and external world.


So how can I get solve of that?


My configurations are...
microsoft loopback adaptor creation with sharing my ethernet NIC, and that to cloud.


After that I get my packet loss too... :(

Hi Sir,
I am facing the same problem what you have said in the video that use USB Ethernet card in the place of laptop Ethernet card. Is there any other way to achieve that. Please suggest.
Thanks
