بواسطة: Udemy

Overview

Learn which is best. Learn how to download and install Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3. Quick Start for CCNA, CCENT exams!

What you'll learn:

  • Learn how to download and install Cisco Packet Tracer
  • Learn how to download and install GNS3

Which is best for studying?

- Cisco Packet Tracer

- GNS3

-VIRL

- Physical Equipment

What should you be using when you are studying for your CCNAexam? And what about for CCNP or CCIE? What lab options areavailable today?

In this course we will discuss the various lab options and I will also show you how to download and configure both Cisco Packet Tracer and GNS3.

Learn Cisco technologies practically using GNS3 or Packet Tracer.

GNS3 is free software that allows you to simulateCisco, Juniper,Aruba and other networking vendor equipment on your laptop. You can build complex networks for free and learn how to configure and troubleshoot network devices. You can also capture packets using Wireshark directly from within GNS3.

Cisco Packet Tracer is a free simulator from Cisco. This allows you to easily build networks on your laptop and learn how networks work. This is simulator software rather than emulator software.

VIRL(now called CML) is Cisco's network emulation software.

David Bombal (CCIE #11023 Emeritus) passed his Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Routing and Switching exam in January 2003 and is one of a small percentage of Cisco Engineers that pass their CCIE labs on their first attempt.

David qualified as a Cisco Certified Systems Instructor (CCSI #22787) many years ago! He has been training Cisco courses for over 15 years and has delivered instructor led courses in various countries around the world covering a wide range of Cisco topics from CCNA to CCIE.

David is very active on social media and has over 500,000 YouTube subscribers and has posted over 1,000 free videos.

I want to wish you all the best!
