Appliance Template

Appliance template files have '.gns3a' as their extension. Know where these templates' location in case you need to edit one of these templates. Example to find these template files on Linux.

GNS3 VM

I also run GNS3 on Windows 10. When I upgraded GNS3 version 2.1.15 to 2.1.21, I got the following error:

Failed to connect to GNS3 VM (GNS3 VM): GNS3 version 2.1.21 is not the same as the GNS3 VM version 2.1.15. Please upgrade the GNS3 VM.

So, power on GNS3 VM (running on VMware Workstation) and upgrade that VM to 2.1.21 too.

Upgrade GNS3 VM

GNS3 on Fedora Workstation 30

I have followed this article, step-by-step to install and run GNS3 successfully on Fedora Workstation 30: How to Install GNS3 on Fedora 29 / Fedora 28
