What is Solar-PuTTY?

GNS3 uses Solar-PuTTY as the default terminal software, a tabbed terminal software based on PuTTY. Solar-PuTTY’s default window is an orangeish font color on a black background.

Here is SolarPuTTY - here is the link to the live Cisco racks I demonstrated on - https://www.howtonetw. FREE download: wait is over! Professional grade CLI access is now free, including:- Tabs- Native GNS3 integration- Login scripts.

Visually-wise, Solar-PuTTY is rather simplistic, but nonetheless user-friendly. Its main window provides you with a sample connection that you can use as a template to create your own sessions. Solar-PuTTY is a great alternative as it provides a tabbed interface that is one of PuTTY’s biggest limitation. To securely transfer files, Solar-PuTTY integrates Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) and Secure copy protocol (SCP). Whether you’re in a classroom or in the office it’s a pain to share connection information verbally. Instead, use the three dots in the top left of Solar-PuTTY to export your sessions and have your pal import them. Less talk, more results.

Personally, I don’t like the background color and font color. If you try to change the background color or font color, you may be confused as to how to do so. (I was so confused that it took me about 3 hours of research and trial and error to change the font and background color…)

How to change the background color and font color on Solar-PuTTY is explained.

Step3:Save the “Default Settings”

This is the confusing part. When you click [Open] on the [PuTTY Configuration] page, the changes are not reflected. You have to save the “Default Settings” in order for the font and background color settings to take effect. Go to Session and select “Default Settings” and click [Save]. This will save your changes. After that, you can close the screen by clicking [Cancel].

Step4:Reconnect the console
