GNS3 Announcement: Want To Run An ASA? At Least Run The Code On PEMU
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on November 22nd, 2008 | 41 CommentsFrom the GNS3.net official site..
A new tool called “Cisco image unpacker” has been added on the download page. This tool which is simple to use, can unpack Cisco ASA and IOS images to be used with GNS3, Pemu or Qemu. Please note that at the moment only ASA v7 and early images are supported in GNS3 and Pemu. Read the provided README file to know how to use it.
Cisco binary image unpacker is a software that allows you to unpack IOS and ASA images.
Important notice: ASA v7 images can be used in GNS3 and Pemu. At the moment ASA v8 images run only with Qemu.

Hello Gayan, you have to check the GNS3 site for the unpacker.. http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?groupname=gns-3&filename=Unpack-0.1_win.zip&use_mirror=superb-east
But here are the steps to unpack an ASA 8.0.x image..
===================================
How to unpack ASA version 8 images?
===================================
Image tested: asa802-k8.bin
[Linux]
$ python unpack.py –format ASA8 asa802-k8.bin

Create a FLASH file with the follwing command: “qemu-img create FLASH 256M”
Then you can use Qemu to launch ASA:
$qemu -hda FLASH -hdachs 980,16,32 -kernel asa802-k8.bin.unpacked.vmlinuz -initrd asa802-k8.bin.unpacked -m 256 –no-kqemu
-append “auto nousb ide1=noprobe bigphysarea=16384 console=ttyS0,9600n8 hda=980,16,32″ -serial telnet::15000,server,nowait
Finally start telnet to connect on port 15000:

December 9th, 2008 at 8:05 am
For PIX images you must use BES (Battle Encoder Shirase) to limit how much CPU priority Quemu will be given. For GNS23 - routers you use idlepc
Link to BES: http://mion.faireal.net/BES/
Read the GNS3 tutorial on how to use the idlepc option: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gns-3/GNS3-0.5-tutorial.pdf?download

( ‘gzip’ is not recognized as an internal or external command, ) is this error??
then wt file i load to gns..
flash file or another one/????
December 11th, 2008 at 7:20 am
Maybe you are not an admin on the machine you are running this?
Also gzip exists in the unpack folder. So you either have not extracted the unpack archive correctly or you are manually doing something to remove necessary files.
December 14th, 2008 at 11:10 pm

FLASH file or another one ?
December 15th, 2008 at 11:24 am
@gayan .. You can always try on your own,
but the .BIN file is the one to use once unpacked.

@shiva Hello you need to describe your problem a little more before anyone can help you.
Are you saying that you cannot get to the console of a router after you started it?
What IOS are you using?

Whenever i am loading asa image in gns3 it is always showing pix why it is not showing asa?
December 24th, 2009 at 5:32 am
i had problems with the instructions on this page.
Use the following steps to complete the unpacking:
1.Unpack the unpack.rar (in this example) in d:\gns3\unpack
2.copy asa802-k8.bin in d:\gns3\unpack
3.creat a .bat file and enter the text:
PATH=D:\GNS3\Unpack
unpack.exe –output asa802-k8 –format ASA8 asa802-k8.bin
4.start the .bat file
5.In d:\gns3\unpack you should find 2 files asa802-k8.initrd and asa802-k8.vmlinuz

I am new to the GNS3 and cisco…. I used the unpacker and asa708-k8.bin
all went will got the following output:
C:\Unpack>unpack.exe –format ASA7 asa708-k8.bin
Archive: c:/users/shelly~1.oa/appdata/local/temp/asa708-k8.bin.zip
inflating: c:/users/shelly~1.oa/appdata/local/temp/pix
ASA7 binary image successfully unpacked in asa708-k8.bin.unpacked
My questions are 1.in GNS3 preferences/Qemu/ASA where do I point the path to the intrd:
do i use the original path for the bin filed I downloaded from Cisco site ?
2. Where to I point the path to the kernel?
thank you

@Shelly Try here: http://www.brainbump.net/2010/03/gns3-how-to-emulate-asa-in-windows-7/
March 19th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I do not have anything that looks like the tutorial.
There is no vmlinuz file on my computer.. so I have no idea what I am looking for to point to for the kernel.
the other file I have is a zip file… does not appear to be what is requried for the initrd box. Any help is appreciated.

Solution :
Copy the gzip.exe file from the unpack folder and paste it in C:\windows\System32
Then unpack the ASA image it will work

I think there is a problem with unpacking the asa821-k8.bin and asa822-k8.bin images. The unpack executable cannot find the zip header. Best bet is to try the asa802-k8.bin image. It seems to work. The README help file also clearly shows the unpacking of asa802 image.

Hi
anybody please help
July 13th, 2010 at 4:21 am
Hello GURUs. I got such such situation:
1) Received the asa802-k8.bin.unpacked.initrd
asa802-k8.bin.unpacked.vmlinuz
from Umpacking.
2) Created successfully flash file with “qemu-img create FLASH 256M” command
Now, could you please help me with ASA simulation on GNS3:
a)What “Kernel cmd line” I should type in GNS3 ASA tab?
b)Where should I put the FLASH file?
c)What “Qemu options” I should type in GNS3 ASA tab?
d)Should I edit the “QEMU general setting” tab, like “IP/Host binding” or “Qemuwrapper port”?
