Are there any of images available for GNS3? I’m in need of mipse/x86/swos/tile images for my free wifi project. Is it “legal” if I do my own images? I have no idea what will happen when trial version “expire”. I dont want to buy licences for emulation only. I already have phisical devices, except swos and ccr.
Most of equipment will be mikrotik.
Thanks in advance
AFAIK, it’s legal to make and distribute your images, as long as they don’t include a license. And if you’re only going to be using them yourself (not distribute them), you may even include a license in one of them, and make as many copies of it as you need in your lab.
I’m no lawyer, but that’s what my intuition tells me, and that’s what feels fair. If MikroTik have a different policy, I’d like to hear it as much as you.
my free wifi project.
AFAIK, no VM engine (not, Qemu, not VirtualBox, not even VMware) supports virtual WiFi interfaces, so inherently, there’s no way you could emulate a WiFi topology in GNS3. The closest thing you can do currently is to bridge a real WiFi adapter (with USB/PCI pass through) to one of the VMs, and get WiFi from a real AP.
