Using Cisco VIRL in conjunction with GNS3

[iwitham1959]

I am in the middle of a Networking and Firewall course using GNS3 and need to access Cisco images.  It looks like I need to subscribe to VIRL to get access to them.  Will this work?  Will I be able to download the images I need?

Hi

These are images available on CML-PE (ex-VIRL) 

IOSv, IOSvL2, CSR1000v, IOS XRv, NX-OSv, ASAv, IOS XRv 9000

You can download these and use in GNS3 .. but if you are going buy CML-PE license you might as well use the simulation environment offered by CML-PE.

There are YouTube videos showing how to download the image.

I appreciate the recommendation.  For the next three courses I have I need to use GNS3.  But moving forward I will utilize the simulation environment offered by CML-PE.
