Download Cisco IOS images and use in GNS3

How do you build Cisco networks in GNS3? In this video I show you how to download Cisco IOS images (Cisco VIRL images) to run IOSv and IOSvL2 in your GNS3 topologies. I also show you how to add Docker containers to your network.

Cisco VIRL has fantastic images which you can download such as:
Cisco ASAv – Virtual Cisco ASA Firewall
Cisco IOSv – Virtual Cisco Router
Cisco IOSvL2 – Virtual Cisco Layer 2 and Layer 3 Switch (multilayer virtual switch)
Cisco NX-OSv – Virtual Cisco Nexus Device
And even more cool devices.
