![]() ![]() The interface needs to be added to netplan. To setup the interface, login and choose “Shell” from the main menu. The interface will attach to the VM “live”, but you’ll need to go into the GNS3vm to configure it before it can be used. Next I went to the GNS3vm VMWare properties and added an interface. I created VLAN 30 and called it “GNS3-30” and assigned it to my default virtual switch (vSwitch0). From the ESXi management interface, select the networking tab and “add port group”. ![]() The first step is to go onto the VMWare ESXi server and create a new VLAN on the vSwitch. The approach I used was to attach the VMs into an ESXi VSwitch VLAN and then use additional cloud appliances to attach those VLAN into the GNS3 topology. The topology will still have a connection “out” to the home network and Internet, but I want to add an ESXi VM “inside” the network as well. Here I want to do something more complex - I’d like to connect ESXi instances into arbitrary points in a GNS3 network. I discussed a few days ago how to connect GNS3 into a network (see Connecting GNS3). Most GNS3 users are using a GNS3 VM to host their topologies. Didn’t get that far - yet - but the progress I made is pretty cool in it’s own right. Vagrant got me building VMs in VMWare Workstation, which got me thinking how neat it would be to place those automagically into my GNS3VM environment hosted on ESXi. I have been coming up to speed on Ansible, which got me started on Vagrant. You can now be able to deploy your test labs and start building your simulations.Ĭheers! Enjoy your simulations.By Brent Stewart on Wednesday, Apr 21, 2021
