Cisco Virtual Netwrok Setup (not Routing)

[Michael Roets]

Hey guys,

I have been working on a few ideas but dont really want to break a current live network. I am looking for a Cisco Virtual environment, mainly switching as we are not configuring routers at this stage.

Does anyone know where i can download software to create a virtual network before i implement it.

Regards

Mike

Hi Mike,

Both Cisco CML and VIRL now support Layer2 switching IOS images.

Take a look here: http://virl.cisco.com/

GNS3 also supports switching on the C3700 platform using the NM-16ESW module:

cheers,
