This exact string works for ASA code 8.4 and nothing prior. Probably the most important field is below. Kernel: Location of Kernel (ASA) software.Qemu Options: -vnc none -vga none -m 1024 -icount auto -hdachs 980,16,32.The following settings are input into the fields. Now – lets point GNS3 towards our ASA software. * If you do not have any of the required files along the way I suggest that you use the googles a little. QEMU is the hero and emulator of the ASA software. Included in the All in One installer is QEMU. I’ve not updated for a while but this is the version that works for me. The version of GNS3 that this laptop is using 0.82-BETA2. I am expecting a level of knowledge already present and will NOT be covering basics in this post. Let me first start this off by disclaiming that this post is not a “Welcome to GNS3”. CCO login will more than let you know if you are eligible to be using the software detailed in this article. DO NOT ask me for links to files or for a one off link. I am an advocate of licensing and doing the right thing. Luckily I gained access legally to licences and ASA IOS and ASDM. I couldn’t afford to buy ASA devices and or the required licensing. As the new CCNA Security is now adding ASA to the course (less rubbish, more content!) and CCNP Security requires ASA/IPS and ASDM. I have read around about people getting PIX firewalls working with GNS3 but PIX is old! ASA took over before I even got into networking. My ASA exposure is quite limited and I have to admit that I generally a fish out of water when it comes to hardcore security. I guess this aligns with the CCNP Security FIREWALL curriculum. As a part of all this I am being sent to a Cisco partner course covering FIREWALL topics. My current place of employment is about to have ASA’s come out of the nether regions. Imagine this inside your laptop and access anywhere? I ended up using GNS3 and could create multi-area OSPF topologies, Giant EIGRP networks, and BGP with cheeky redistribution. I required a deep dive into the materials offered. It wasn’t enough to brush over the material and blitz the exam. I had worked on routers and routing technologies about 5 percent of the time.

When I first achieved ROUTE on my way to CCNP I worked in a heavily switched environment. GNS3 has been a stable to my personal study.
