Hi all!
I am new to using GNS3, but know I realize that I just have routers and an Ethernet Switch. Is it possible to emulate a Cisco Catalyst IOS somehow?

Hello Mike,
LAN switches work in hardware usind dedicated hardware ASIC for this reason they are not emulated.
see

So the use of etherswitch modules in emulated routers is the only way to learn about LAN switches with the tool.
Hope to help
