Getting more of GNS3 for lab simulations.

SpencerClark

Hello Everyone!

I have setup GNS3 and I have gone through the basic tutorials. I'm scared these simple topologies aren't going to be enough to cover all of the labsim possibilities for the INCD1 (and ICND2 for that matter). I am looking for a website that has different network simulation I can run through; whether they are files I can download and emulate or topologies I can build. I am not extactly sure what i am looking for. I guess that I what I came here.

Basically, I want to use GNS3 more efficiently to help study for the CCNA. I am looking for any resource to help my studying.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Don't be scared. I encourage you to keep it simple. Don't waste time with complex topologies that you don't fully understand how to configure just yet. Keep it simple and get the fundamentals down packed.

Just go through the books you are reading and create labs whenever it goes into an example

As for OP: build you topologies yourself as downloading a pre-made topology is nice, it takes a bit of work and building from the ground up is the way to go. The links posted here are all good ones. Keep it up and good luck!

For icnd1 all you really need is a routers CLI to enter show commands into. It would be nice to have another router in the topology to work a static route into and setup telnet.

once you do that there are very few things you need to lab for icnd1 aside from basic single area ospf. I know there are other topics covered but these were the ones that labbing helped with.

Thank you for the CCNA Workbook site +rep I viewed their resources for CCNA Security and I definitely like what I see. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Doyen! I was going to give myself some rep too!

I had forgotten about both sites and I will need them again to re-do the CCNA.
