Simulator – GNS3
Thursday, March 26th, 2009GNS3 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 [...]

Thursday, March 26th, 2009Should I use emulator like dynamips or buy real lab? Well, it depends. Dynamips is an emulator that somehow “tricks” the real IOS image so it will boot and run on standard PC. So far it can run IOS for 7200 routers, 3600, 3700 and 2600 series. So if you need to practice features outside [...]
Simulator – Dynamips / Dynagen
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Dynamips is a Cisco router emulator written by Christophe Fillot. It emulates 1700, 2600, 3600, 3700, and 7200 hardware platforms, and runs standard IOS images. In Chris’own words: This kind of emulator would be useful to: · Be used as a training platform, with software used in real world. It would allow people to become [...]
