GNS3-all-in-one + GNS3 VM: GNS3 GUI runs on your PC, but GNS3 server runs on a separate VM. This option is recommended for more complex deployments. Note, that GNS3 itself does not provide any network OS images, that is, for example, if you want to emulate a Cisco IOS or any other router, you will have to provide your own image files.

As per the many requests that i got for running FortGate with FortiOS 6 inside GNS3, this article will be about deploying FortiGate (FortiOS 6.2.3 which is currently the latest version) in GNS3. So let's get started!!

Import Appliances & Images

Start a new blank project, click File > Import Appliance, then choose the FortiGate appliance file (.gns3a)

Choose 'Run the appliance on the GNS3 VM(recommended)' option, then choose the Qemu settings and click Next. GNS3 will verify the VM requirements to run the appliance and a list of FortiGate versions should appears.

Under FortiGate 6.2.3 on the list, click on FGT_VM64_KVM-v6-build1010..., then import, then choose the file extracted from the FortiGate Image.

Note: In order for FortiGate to operate, it needs an empty harddisk

The harddisk can be created using linux tool called 'qemu-img' using the following command:

or you can download the file from Here .

To import the harddisk into GNS click on empty30G.qcow2 under FortiGate 6.2.3 on the list, then import and choose the harddisk file.

After importing the two files, FortiGate version 6.2.3 on list will indicate the status of 'Ready to install', make sure to click on the version number before clicking on next, otherwise you might get errors.

Then check for the 'IP' and 'allowaccess' parameters.

In my case the IP is '192.168.101.129' and allow access is the protocols highlighted in green.
