Category: GNS3

GNS3 (Graphical Network Simulator-3) is a powerful tool used for network simulations and testing and is exceptionally compatible with Cisco devices. In this category, you can find comprehensive guides about GNS3, installation and configuration steps, techniques for creating and simulating virtual network topologies with Cisco devices, performance improvement tips, troubleshooting methods, and information about the various features offered by GNS3. You can test and optimize your network infrastructure in a virtual environment by using GNS3 effectively with Cisco routers, switches, and other network devices. You can find all the information you need here and manage network simulations more efficiently.

How to Configure Loopback Adapter in GNS3

Using GNS3, you can add your PC to your network designs instead of virtual machines. You can select existing network adapters or add a Loopback network adapter. So, a GNS3 Loopback Adapter allows you to communicate with other PCs or virtual systems on the same network.

You can make more detailed network plans when you add a Loopback adapter to your GNS3 program. Also, combining your computer with virtual systems helps you create more advanced projects.

How to Upgrade GNS3 VM

You may need to upgrade your GNS3 VM Server to a newer version on VMware. So you can do this without any problems during your update process. The process is straightforward and doesn’t require you to download and install a new version. Instead, you can modernize your existing server to the latest version.

You can access the latest features by updating your GNS3 server to the newest version. So, you get the bug fixes that were fixed in the previous version. Additionally, you still have all the settings you currently have on the server. These can be your Cisco IOS images or saved GNS3 projects. So, you are unlikely to lose your existing work or data. So, this process means you don’t have to worry.

How to Configure OSPF on Cisco Router in GNS3

If you’re getting ready for Cisco exams, do you want help with setting up OSPF on Routers using GNS3? In this easy-to-understand article, we’ll talk about OSPF, which stands for Open Shortest Path First.

With GNS3, you can simulate and try out real network situations. People who work with networks and students use this software a lot to understand how networks work. Thus, they can become proficient at different protocols like OSPF.

How to Configure EIGRP on Cisco Router in GNS3

In this article, I will explain how to configure EIGRP on Cisco Routers with the GNS3 emulator software. This protocol, which Cisco specifically owns, manages network traffic efficiently and effectively. I will also cover the processes of setting up a network topology in your virtual environment, configuring routers, and adding virtual machines.

However, after enabling this protocol, I will examine the show commands to test the network connection. If you create a correct virtual network, these commands will be helpful. In addition, you can use Wireshark to check the functionality of this protocol. Now, let’s start by explaining how to configure EIGRP with GNS3!
