GNS3 uses PuTTY by default to console into devices. I've been using SecureCRT for many years now and it's a very popular terminal emulation software in many companies.
In order to change the console application to SecureCRT in GNS3, you go to Edit > Preferences > Console applications tab. Under Preconfigured commands choose SecureCRT and click Set.
You might need to change the directory of SecureCRT.exe under Console application command if you can't open SecureCRT in GNS3. You can get the location by doing a right-click on SecureCRT (on desktop icon or using search programs) and click Properties.
You can customize the font and background colors. I always choose the Traditional color scheme to get that "Matrix" look and feel.
To edit the session appearance in SecureCRT, go to Options tab > Global Options > General > Default Session > Edit Default Settings.
You can choose the color scheme from the Current color scheme drop-down options > click OK.
Choose Change ALL sessions (no undo) > click OK.

How do you get it to open in tabs?
ReplyDeleteJust click the 'Connect in Tab' which I think is the third icon in SecureCRT.
