Hi,
Old thread, but maybe someone will notice.
I was playing with VirtualBox - GNS3 setup whole week on my notebook and I cant get it working. VM are starting and running. All looks good except that it is unable to connect to console.
On my notebook VirtualBox settings Nested VTx/AMD-V checkbox is inactive on AOS-CX VM processor settings but it is active on GNS3 VM settings:
Hyper-V is uninstalled, CPU supports virtualization (i7-1365U), Virtualization is enabled on BIOS, OS Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2.2
I have tried same setup on my old home PC and it was running perfect from firs try. The only difference on home PC is that Nested VTx/AMD-V checkbox is active on both VMs and is selected.
So any advices how to enable Nested VTx/AMD-V checkbox would be welcome.

Hi there,
old thread but same problem here. Trying to setup a virtual lab with gns3-virtualbox guide ends in this error.
What exactly do you mean with "virtualization support"? An option beeing activated in bios?

Hi all, I have just tried to use AOS-CX switch simulator and it was failed to boot. I use VirtualBox and GNS3. Please see my attached error.
