CNET-351 Lab 7 Centennial College Information and Communication Engineering Technology Course CNET-351: Emerging Technologies Student Name ID Professor Atiqur Rahman Group Number Individual Work Lab 7: Test out NFV by running the Cisco ASAv in GNS3 A. Objectives  Learn basics of NFV  Install and learn GNS3 VM.  Add Cisco ASAv as an appliance to GNS3.  Build the NFV Topology B. Required Resources  PC with enough CPU power and RAM  Any Hypervisor (VMWare)  GNS3, GNS3VM  Cisco switch and ASAv C. Introduction NFV can be tested out by running the Cisco ASAv in GNS3. The process to do this is now more tightly integrated in GNS3 than before by using their GNS3 VM. GNS3 VM virtual server is an isolated Ubuntu virtual server power by GNS3 Technologies Inc. It consumes CPU and memory usage from the local virtual server itself, not from a real physical computer. So, it can improve your computer performance while running GNS3 network simulation software. There are many problems experienced when using Cisco ASAv firewall virtual servers in GNS3 network simulation software. Fortunately, all those issues had been fixed in GNS3 VM virtual machines security. In this article will present you about how to configure Cisco ASAv firewall virtual servers’ image with qcow2 virtual security appliance format in GNS3 VM virtual server.

When you are asked to choose the install location, please click the Browse button to change the location to a folder in the partition you created just now. Take Screenshot SS#1, highlight the GNS3 installation completed and attached to the lab report. pg. 2

CNET-351 Lab 7 2. Prepare GNS3 VM and GNS3 IOS Files a. Prepare GNS3 VM I. Download GNS3 VM for VMWare Workstation from GNS3 official website ( https://gns3.com/software/download-vm ). II. Extract the file and save it to NFV Folder (need to create). b. Download GNS3 IOS Files a. Download GNS3 IOS File (c3745) from https://mega.nz/folder/nJR3BTjJ#N5wZsncqDkdKyFQLELU1wQ https://lms.onnocenter.or.id/pustaka/docs/GNS3/images/ b. Save to NFV Folder 3. Set Up GNS3 VM a. Import the GNS3 VM into VMWare. ( https://docs.gns3.com/docs/getting-started/setup-wizard-gns3-vm/ ) i. Launch the VMWare software. ii. Click File > Open , find the GNS3 VM file you downloaded before (the file ) and click the Open button. iii. On the Import Virtual Machine window, name the new VM as your FirstName+Student Id, and change its location to NFV Folder. iv. Click the Import button and wait until the import process completes. pg. 3

CNET-351 Lab 7 b. Set up the GNS3 VM local server . i. Launch the GNS software and click Help > Setup Wizard. ii. Choose Run appliances in a virtual machine and click the Next button. iii. When checking the Local server configuration, please change the Host binding to 0.0.1 and click the Next button. Selecting the 127.0.0.1 local loopback address tends to be the most trouble-free option to use as a host binding. Click 'Next' . pg. 4

CNET-351 Lab 7 iv. After getting the message “connection to the local GNS3 server is successful”, click the Next button. Now, you are asked to run the GNS3 VM. Expand the drop-down menu under the VM name and choose the Your VM that you imported just now. Then, click the Next button. v. Once the GNS3 VM boots successfully, the IP address of the GNS3 VM will be displayed. https://docs.gns3.com/docs/getting-started/setup-wizard-gns3-vm/ Take Screenshot SS#2, highlight the IP Address and attached to the lab report. pg. 5
