hi guys
passed my ccna 6 months ago i think so ive been away from the forum abit. One of our guys has just come back from a ccnp bootcamp as he has to get it again. He showed me a website called gns3.net. I thought i would share it as it looks pretty good at first glance. I expect its carrying on dynampis at first glance. Anyway im all excited so im off to drink and iron.

Welcome Back!
It's a memory hog graphical user interface environment for Dynamips/Dynagen for people who don't know enough about routers (or computers) to edit a simple Dynagen Net file. We don't talk about it in the CCNP forum, and barely tolerate mentions of it in the CCNA forum. But then, some people think the Cisco Network Academy Packet Tracer Program is the Greatest Simulator on Eartholiverw wrote:gns3.net
Both are fine in an educational environment since they let Instructors setup and distribute labs to their students, and get "working" homework back from their students.
And maybe, just maybe, since it links with Pemu, we might allow mention in the CCSP forum

You're going to do your laundry while drinking, and iron your shirts so they aren't wrinkled for work?
You're going to go to a driving range and drink while shooting a bucket of balls with an iron? Or, in other English words -- hit golf balls with a golf club at a place to practice whatever Golf playing people practice.
Drink and iron? Is that something you can even talk about in "polite company?"

I've used both and I prefer GNS3. Regular Dynamips used to crash on me for running more than 4-5 routers, even with the idle PC values where they needed to be.
GNS3 chugs along with 7-10 instances with no problems on the same laptop with 2 GB memory and a 2 GHz Dual Core processor.
GNS3 gets my vote fo sho'!policy-map type inspect TACO
class type inspect BELL

Uhh did you try running multiple processes of dynamips?
