Helpful Hints about INE’s virtual lab environment:

• Save your configuration changes frequently in the event that you get locked out of a device or lose connectivity
• If you are suddenly logged out of the GNS3 lab environment and log back in again, you may see the prompt, “Another GNS3 instance is running, continue? (Y/N)”. Select “Yes”

• If you ever lose console access to one (or more) of your devices you will need to reboot the Ubuntu Virtual Machine that is hosting your GNS3 lab environment. To do this,

  • Minimize your GNS3 window
  • Open the “Terminal” app within the Ubuntu device

  

  • Type “reboot” within the Terminal window
  • Wait 20-30 seconds and then click the “Reconnect” option to log back in.
