VIRL - Virtual Internet Routing Lab

"VIRL is a comprehensive network design and simulation platform. VIRL includes a powerful graphical user interface for network design and simulation control, a configuration engine that can build complete Cisco configuration at the push of a button, Cisco virtual machines running the same network operating systems as used in Cisco’s physical routers and switches, all running on top of OpenStack."


Your thoughts on this one guys, and has anyone had experience with it? Looks promising...

    Until they can implement Layer 2, I'll save my money and stick to GNS3.

    Does this l2 image support IGMPv2 and spanning tree?
    Are these the same images used on IOL? Same feature set/compatibility?

    Just get some cheap switches to do things like spanning-tree. You really don't need it in IOL/IOU imo, unless you are specifically testing something.

    I dont think it is, just had a look at the support community thread on the VIRL website:
