Step 4: Define in Emulator
- Eve-NG: Go to "Node Types" → "Add IOL Image". Name it "IOU L3 15.7(3)" and select the binary.
- GNS3: In "IOU Device" setup, point GNS3 to the binary, specify the license, and set the number of Ethernet interfaces (default: 4).
- Confirm platform compatibility (router/switch model and architecture). The “i86bi-linux” prefix suggests x86-based Linux-hosted IOS — ensure your hardware or VM supports that variant.
- Review release notes for hardware-specific caveats, bug triggers, and platform limitations.
Verify crypto support:
- FRRouting (open source, runs natively on Linux)
- VyOS (open source router)
- Bird (BGP/OSPF daemon)
- Verify provenance and licensing
The specific version 157-3.may.2018 represents a Cisco IOS release from the 15.7(3) train, dated around May 2018. This places it in the "modern legacy" category—old enough to be stable and widely documented, yet recent enough to support essential enterprise features like MPLS, VRF, and advanced BGP.
