GNS3 Fundamentals (Official Course) Part 1
Learn how to install, configure and use GNS3. Interactive, practical GNS3 Training from David Bombal - Cisco, Python ++
The Official GNS3 Fundamentals Course: Created with the GNS3 Developers!
MAJOR UPDATE: GNS3 have released version 2.0. I have now added a lot of content about GNS3 2.0 to the course.
If you have not used GNS3 before, then this course is for you! Learn how to download, install and configure GNS3 on a Windows PC.
Learn the basics (and some advanced topics) of GNS3 including:
> Understand why you would use GNS3 and the differences between emulating and simulating network devices
> Getting started with the software from soup to nuts including: IOS selection, hardware requirement, switching support, install of the new GNS3 VM with VMware & ESXi, getting familiar with the GUI and icons and more!
> Get Access to some amazing FREE tools that complement and work well with GNS3 including Solarwinds Response Time Viewer which helps to quickly analyze Wireshark packet capture files to troubleshoot performance issues.
