Cisco_NX-OS_Titanium-v6.2.1_Image_for_Virtual_Box_GNS3_6.2.1_Downloadly.ir --> doesnt save, plus the image does not even allow to change an interface from L3 to L2 using the switchport command. Instead the switch reboots to login: ***************** Username: admin Password: cisco ***************** I kindly ask if you have a booting and saving image --> bootflash:/ titanium-d1.5.1.2.gbin or functional Cisco_NX-OS_Titanium-v6.2.1_Image_for_Virtual_Box_GNS3_6.2.1. Or I kindly ask if you can provide a link to something really functioning. Any nexus on WMware to Gns3 or any nexus in Virtualbox to Gns3.
