- The Palo Alto KVM Firewall must be downloaded from the support portal. KVM is short for (Kernel-Based Virtualization Machine). You can directly run the. qcow file format on KVM. To install the Palo Alto KVM on GNS3, you must do the following:
- The Palo Alto support website's gns3 Palo Alto Firewall. To access the support site, click here. Go to Update > Software Update at this point. Choose PAN-OS for VM-Series KVM Base Images at this time. I'm getting PANOS version 8.1.3 in this instance. To get the Firewall, just click PA-VM-KVM-8.1.3 qcow2 to download the Palo Alto KVM.
- put the GNS3 on your computer. If not, you can use the links below to learn more about and download the GNS3 Network Simulator for Linux or Windows computers. GNS3 is essentially a Great Network Simulator program that allows you to operate a variety of network and network security appliances.
- the GNS3 simulator's Palo Alto KVM Image. Although the KVM deployment is the same on all GNS3 versions, I'm now using GNS3 2.1.21. Launch GNS3 and click on New under Edit >> Preferences >> QEMU >> Qemu VMs. Now, give this VM a pleasant name.
Before implementing any modifications, you must modify the VM Firewall's interfaces. I'm utilizing 8 distinct Interfaces on the VM Firewall in this example. Go to Edit >> Network to make changes (you can refer to the given image). An optional Palo Alto icon is available for this VM image.
Along with the equipment you've already installed, gns3 Palo Alto firewall is prepared. Simply pull the firewall to the Project area down. Simply perform a right-click on this and select “start.” When you start the virtual machine, the firewall's booting console will appear the GNS3's Palo Alto VM. We must now double-click the virtual machine appliance that we just set up. You'll observe that the virtual Palo Alto Firewall is now booting up. You must supply the Palo Alto VM Firewall with the default credentials when it has finished booting.
the GNS3 Network Simulator directly with the Palo Alto Virtual Firewall. The Palo Alto support portal is where we first download the gns3 PaloAlto firewall. The Palo Alto Firewall was then successfully imported into the GNS3 Simulator. On Palo Alto KVM, we set up 8 separate Interfaces for various uses.
You can, however, add a lot more network interfaces. We set up the Palo Alto Firewall's administration interface so that a PC could access it. On our end system, we finally have the Palo Alto VM Firewall GUI.
