Getting started with GNS3

I've never used GNS3 and I've been told it needs an IOS, which isn't included in the software. Where does one go about getting it if it's not available from work?

The only way to gt an IOS is to purchase a contract from Cisco. No other methods that one may use will be discussed here.

Okay. So without a contract from Cisco or having it available from one's workplace, it's unavailable. I'll look for a different program, then. Thanks.

It's been discussed on these forums before that you could buy a used switch/router from ebay. That way you get an IOS image on it. Might not be the image you want but it's better than nothing.

Or just download one. That works too.

You probably will not find an answer to your question on any respectable forums.
I received an IOS image when I purchased a used router.
Google was very helpful when I was setting up GNS3.
