Moreover, you don’t need to have a service agreement to download the software image, which is really good. One of the great things about FortiGate is that, unlike other vendors, its software size is about 73MB, I am not sure how they add tons of features to a small software package.
#Fortigate image for gns3 install#
Steps to install FortiGate firewall in GNS3. If you don’t have gns3 installed as a remote server and want to use the VMware option, you may check the article here to learn more about how you can integrate different types of virtual machines into the GNS3. I have covered how you can install GNS3 on a remote server here, and you may check out the article here to learn more. If you are not concerned about the performance, you could proceed with the FortiGate VM installation on GNS3VM itself.
This will degrade the performance of your firewall. The problem with gns3vm is that it does nested virtualization, meaning virtualization on top of virtualization. For better performance, it is highly recommended that you install the FortiGate firewall on a remote server instead of gns3vm. You could install the FortiGate firewall in gns3 either by using the existing VMware virtual machine that we deployed in the previous lab or get the KVM image from the FortiGate website and install it directly on the gns3vm or GNS3 remote server. The gns3 is a network emulation software There are hundreds of network devices that gns3 supports for you to build the lab. Can the FortiGate firewall be installed on GNS3?
After the installation, we will build a small lab to test our environment in our next blog. In this blog, we will take a look at how you can install the FortiGate firewall on GNS3. In our last blog post, we covered how you can install a FortiGate firewall on a VMware workstation, and we were able to build a lab around it successfully.
