Course Outline
Overview of GNS3 for Network Simulation
- Understanding GNS3 architecture and its capabilities for design and testing.
- Comparing GNS3 with physical labs and other simulators.
- Recommendations for hardware, OS, and setup tips.
Preparing the GNS3 Environment
- Installing the GNS3 GUI and GNS3 VM.
- Connecting GNS3 to real devices and virtual machines.
- Using Docker containers, appliances, and external tools.
Building Enterprise Network Topologies
- Implementing Layer 2 and Layer 3 network components.
- Simulating multi-site WAN and data centre environments.
- Representing cloud and hybrid architectures within GNS3.
Replicating Production Environments
- Capturing configurations from live networks.
- Importing existing routing and switching setups.
- Designing scalable testbeds with realistic traffic patterns.
Testing, Validation, and Documentation
- Applying traffic generation and fault injection techniques.
- Executing automated testing scenarios (e.g., BGP failover, QoS, ACLs).
- Performing packet capture and flow validation with Wireshark.
Integration with Other Tools
- Connecting GNS3 to VirtualBox, VMware, or KVM.
