When launching the IOL image, you can customize the device configuration using command-line parameters:
| Resource | Recommended | |----------|-------------| | | 256–512 MB (minimum 128 MB) | | Flash/Storage | ~50 MB for image | | CPU | 1 core (x86_64 capable of running 32-bit binaries) | | Emulators | GNS3, EVE-NG, IOU/L2IOU, Dynamips with I86BI support | I86bi-linux-l3-adventerprisek9-ms.155-2.t.bin
The image file itself occupies approximately 164 MB of storage space. This compact footprint enables running large topologies on modest hardware compared to hardware-based emulation platforms.
EVE-NG is perhaps the most common platform for deploying this IOL image. The official installation path for images is /opt/unetlab/addons/iol/bin/ . : Ensure the file is marked as executable
What specific are you trying to build?
Routers boot in seconds rather than minutes. 3. Why Use 15.5(2)T for GNS3/IOU Simulation? EVE-NG is perhaps the most common platform for
Since the image is a 32-bit binary, your Linux host (or GNS3 VM) needs 32-bit architecture support enabled. Run sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 and install gns3-iou or equivalent packages.
Open GNS3 and go to .
