Nov 07, 2014 How to use Cisco ASA 8.4 with GNS3 Posted on November 7, 2014 by srijit 49 Comments This tutorial will help you setup your CCNA, CCNP or CCIE Security Lab with Cisco ASA 8.4 which is currently supported by the latest version of GNS3.
I was looking for a new convenient lab solution to run on natively on my PC rather than fire up my noisy dedicated, in order to use the Cisco ASAv. I’ve used GNS3 for IOS devices regularly but never had the chance to use the ASAv.

This post will take you through a step-by-step guide to emulate Cisco ASA 8.4.2 on GNS3. In GNS3 QEMU is an emulator which emulates the hardware environment for a Cisco ASA device.
Please make sure that your computer have got at least 4GB of RAM before you begin.The below steps are pretty simple and straight forward. So let's begin.Edit on: On the latest version of GNS3 i.e GNS3 1.0, adding ASA from Qemu is a little different. Just follow the steps mentioned under the topic ' In GNS3 1.0' below.1.) Download and install GNS3. You can get the software from.
You may need to register/login to get the software.2.) Get a copy of ASA 8.4.2 code. You can get it from your live ASA device by copying the image to a TFTP server. In GNS3 1.0 Edit on Follow up to step 4 above.1.) Expand QEMU QEMU VMs2.) Click New and type a name of your ASA device3.) Select the type as ASA 8.4(2) and click Next4.) Leave the Qemu binary and RAM as it is and click Next5.) Now browse the initrd and Kernal image which you have extracted before and click FinishThat's it! You are done with ASA configuration in GNS3. No need to give Qemu Options or Kernel cmd line, everything is already set in GNS3.
Below you can find a screenshot of the configuration. Hi Yadhu,Have you tried create any test labs? I run into problem when I create subinterface (ip 192.168.118.11/24) on ASA and I could not ping to the router (R2 ip 192.168.118.100)) which is directly connect to ASA.
