vIST still not working in GNS3 with version9.2

[flan]

I was able to get the virtual-ist up and running in the GNS3 environment using the new 9.2 image. Oh I was so happy. But, alas it stops working after a couple of minutes. 

If we reset the switch it comes up and then a couple of minutes later it goes down again. this is with the new image 9.2 on the github. As much as I appreciate having a gns3 image to work with and believe me I am very grateful. Having something as common as vIST not work is very frustrating to say the least. If there is anyway that I can help get this working please feel free to DM me.  

 

 

the message that we are getting is.

Please let me know thanks,

I've seen the same issue in eve-ng but it's still a good lab environment. 

[flan]

Indeed. As I said, I am grateful for it. However, vIST is so widely used,  that it not being available, surprises not only me but other customers as well.

BUMP?

[Stephane_Grosj1]

Yes, that's unfortunate, there are a few limitations with the VM, vIST is one of them.
