PicOS-V Installation Steps

1Comparison of PicOS-V Installation Methods2Conditions for PicOS-V Installation3Installation Guide for PicOS-V

Integrated Deployment

Install GNS3 only. When installing GNS3, the client and server are combined. Then upload PicOS-V to GNS3.

The installation method is relatively simple, and there is no need to install a separate server.Integrated deployment saves more device resources.There may be situations where the switch cannot start for an extended period.It is inconvenient to share the test environment.

Standalone Deployment

First, install the GNS3 server, then install the GNS3 client, and finally import PicOS-V into the GNS3 server.

Independent installation, deploying the GNS3 server on a separate server, and sharing the test environment.Easy multi-terminal sharing. Since integrated deployment does not support MAC operating systems, deploying the GNS3 server on a server provides better compatibility.It requires separate configuration for the client and server, which is more complex.If there are network issues between the client and server, it may cause anomalies in the experiments.
