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. + +This requires qt4, sip, and PyQT from SlackBuilds.org. |
