GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows simulation of complex
|
|
networks. To allow complete simulations, GNS3 is strongly linked with:
|
|
* Dynamips, the core program that allows Cisco IOS emulation.
|
|
* Dynagen, a text-based front-end for Dynamips.
|
|
* Pemu, a Cisco PIX firewall emulator based on Qemu.
|
|
|
|
GNS3 is an excellent complementary tool to real labs for Cisco network
|
|
engineers, administrators and people wanting to pass certifications
|
|
such as CCNA, CCNP, CCIP or CCIE. It can also be used to experiment
|
|
features of Cisco IOS or to check configurations that need to be
|
|
deployed later on real routers.
|
|
|
|
Features overview
|
|
* Design of high quality and complex network topologies.
|
|
* Emulation of many Cisco router platforms and PIX firewalls.
|
|
* Simulation of simple Ethernet, ATM and Frame Relay switches.
|
|
* Connection of the simulated network to the real world!
|
|
* Packet capture using Wireshark.
|
|
|
|
Important notice: users have to provide their own Cisco IOS to use
|
|
with GNS3. It is also recommended to read the documentation _before_
|
|
starting the program. As of version 0.8.7 the package for dynamips
|
|
has to be installed separately. Port 127.0.0.1:7200 has to be open on
|
|
your firewall.
