Introduction to GNS3 for Network Simulation
- Examining GNS3 architecture and its core capabilities for design and testing
- Comparing GNS3 with physical labs and alternative simulators
- Recommendations for hardware, operating systems, and setup best practices
Setting Up the GNS3 Environment
- Installing the GNS3 GUI and GNS3 VM
- Establishing connections between GNS3 and physical devices or virtual machines
- Incorporating Docker containers, appliances, and external tools
Constructing Enterprise Network Topologies
