In a previous tutorial, i had shown ASA emulation in Ubuntu 9.10 (Linux) . Good news is you no longer need to compile and patch Qemu (its already done for you). You just need to build initrd and linux kernel from ASA binary, set path to them in GNS3 preferences and you are all set. If you are installing in Ubuntu, follow the previous tutorial (just skip the compilation and patching section).

If you are installing GNS3 in any of Windows flavour e.g Windows XP , Windows Vista or Windows 7 , its (more…)

In this article, i will show you how you can emulate Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) in Ubuntu Linux 9.10 ( Karmic Koala ).Also be aware that ASA does not 100% work in Qemu but that’s enough to play with it.I used “asa802-k8.bin” for this tutorial.You can create Shell  Script (first_start.sh) yourself  or scroll through the tutorial to see download link provided at the end of this tutorial.

Both JunOS  as well as ASA can be simulated/emulated using Qemu. By integrating both together, you can emulate Cisco Routers/Juniper Routers and ASA all under one interface .
