GNS3 does not do that and you can run hundreds of devices in a GNS3 topology (assuming you have the hardware to do it). Other solutions like Cisco VIRL limit the number of devices in a topology to 20 Cisco devices (depends on license). You are only limited by the hardware resources you have available. GNS3 does not limit the number of devices you can run in a topology. It uses Dynamips emulation software to simulate Cisco IOS. GNS3 is a network software emulator that allows the combination of virtual and real devices, used to simulate complex networks its name is comes from Graphical Network Simulator.

Gns3 is one of the famous network simulator and its hot feature is that it can run the real Cisco IOS image, as compare to other network simulator like packet-tracer which perform all functions base on programming.Network topology simulation software designed for professionals IOS image support different packages like routing, switching and inter-networking etc. Working 3745 IOS download for Gns3 IOS image is software or Operating System used in most Cisco routers and switches. Now you should have a working layer 3 switch with about 16 ports I hope this helps Remember you can use any router image all though I have only used the 3725 with this example. Set the IDLE PC value,etc then the EtherSwitch should appear in your list. In the next few dialogues its just like adding any other image. Then GNS3 will automatically select the switching module for you As shown here.Ĭlick next. In this step make sure you select This is an EtherSwitch router and click Next. You can select one of your previously decompressed images in your GNS3 images folder (its ok if its already used for another router) Im using the 3725 image. Go into the preferences Edit Preferences and select the IOS routers under Dynamips. If you need these you can read my article on or you can go directly to the. This method for the layer 3 switch basically uses a router image with a switching module.Īnd yes you can do the same thing on real equipment First of all you are going to need GNS3 and some router images.

What is the difference Well there are many but this is not that kind of article.įor starters show VLAN will give you an ambiguous command off the bat on a layer 3 switch.

I recently did a post on now Im going to show you how to setup a layer 3 switch with in GNS3. I mainly bring this up because if someone is trying to use GNS and yet they dont have access to Cisco IOS images via the Cisco Download Center (because theyre not a Cisco customer) Id be wary of steering them towards sites that offer illegal copies of software that might also come with interesting side effects (i.e.įor someone like this, might it not be better to rent time on rack rentals (INE.Ĭisco Learning Labs, etc) than recommend software that they cant obtain legally. So Im left wondering, are the majority of you finding some other way to obtain these images (and if so.arent you worried about any threatening viruses or something that may be associated with these non-Cisco sites where youre download the images) Or is there some way I dont know about for someone who is NOT a Cisco customer (i.e.Ī college student studying for their Cisco certification) to obtain a legitimate copy of this software.
