FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GNS3 node management for network labs?

Automating GNS3 node management involves using MCP tools to add devices from templates, control power states, and retrieve console access within GNS3 projects. This Skill provides tools like gns3_create_node and gns3_start_node to streamline simulated network provisioning.

What do I need to configure to control GNS3 nodes via MCP?

To control GNS3 nodes, you need to configure the GNS3_URL, GNS3_USER, and GNS3_PASSWORD environment variables. These credentials allow the MCP server to authenticate and interact with your GNS3 project.

Can I perform bulk power actions on nodes in a GNS3 project?

Yes, you can perform bulk power actions on nodes in a GNS3 project using the gns3_bulk_node_action tool. This allows you to start, stop, suspend, or reload multiple nodes simultaneously for efficient lifecycle management.

How do I get console access to a GNS3 node for troubleshooting?

You can retrieve console access details for a GNS3 node by using the gns3_get_node_console tool. This provides the necessary information to connect directly to the node for configuration and troubleshooting.

Is there a way to reload a GNS3 node after making configuration changes?

Yes, the gns3_reload_node tool allows you to reload a GNS3 node after configuration changes. This ensures the device applies the new settings and restarts cleanly within the simulated network.

How do I list available nodes in a GNS3 project?

You can list available nodes in a GNS3 project by using the gns3_list_nodes tool. This helps identify existing devices in your network lab before performing start, stop, or console access operations.
