- Validate that there is connectivity between the linux or mac machine running this utility to the host running GNS3 as well as the GNS3 VM
- Download the topology.gns3 file and open it in GNS3.
- Initialize yamlfilefiles/console.yaml based on your environment
i. gns3_vmware_ip is the ip over which the GNS3 VM can be accessed
ii. gns3_host_ip is the ip over which gns3 utility runs. Generally a windows machine
iii. map the ports of the various routers as seen on your gns3 environment after opening the topology.gns3 - Download topology.gns3 file and open it in GNS3.

Eg.
#ipython
: from init import *
: start_all()
: init_lab()
: stop('R3')
: stop('R3')
Eg.
:send('all','show ip int br')
:send(['R1','R2','R5'],'show cdp neighbor')
:send(['R1','R5'],['router eigrp 1,'network 155.1.0.0 0.0.255.255'])
:send('R1','show ip eigrp neighbor')
Eg.
:init_eigrp()
:remove_eigrp()
:init_ospf()
:remove_ospf()
:init_bgp()
:reset_lab()
Eg.
:lslab() # displays all the labs
:lslab(ospf) # displays all the OSPF labs
:load('bgp.full','all') # loads the bgp.full lab.
