Everything you need is in here Cisco ASA 8.4 on GNS3 - XeruNetworks

The ASA on GNS is not very stable and if you are working with 2 ASAs it can get frustrating but when you have no other way, it will do.

Make sure you keep the labs with ASAs simple. I recently got it working on my macbook pro and originally had it running on a VM but it kept crashing because of a lack of resources. Even running just on my macbook I still only would create specific labs for what I was doing. If you are practicing client less, SSL client or IPSEC client just have one ASA and a VM host/ however you want to test it. Initially I had routers, two ASAs etc on a lab but the strain on the system would cause dynamips to crash and/or one/both instances of the ASA to crash.

Also when installing GNS make sure to get the all-in one windows version or the newest OSX version. If you don't it might not have QEMU on it and the ASA emulation requires it.

Heavily recommend GNS3 Workbench: RedNectar's Blog | … Chris Welsh's memory backup

Linux OVA that can be run on any machine with horsepower to spare, and Linux has a great track record for stability and scale with Dynamips.
