Are you curious about setting up a Layer 2 Switch as the Root Bridge in your network on GNS3? Usually, devices sort out the Root device using a Spanning Tree. But we can set it manually on Cisco Switches. How? We check out MAC addresses, Priority values, and Cost values.
But sometimes, it’s a good idea to pick the Root Switch ourselves. So, in this article, we’ll choose a Switch manually using the Priority value. Let’s begin!
Using GNS3, you can add your PC to your network designs instead of virtual machines. You can select existing network adapters or add a Loopback network adapter. So, a GNS3 Loopback Adapter allows you to communicate with other PCs or virtual systems on the same network.
You can make more detailed network plans when you add a Loopback adapter to your GNS3 program. Also, combining your computer with virtual systems helps you create more advanced projects.
You may need to upgrade your GNS3 VM Server to a newer version on VMware. So, you can do this without any problems in your update process. The process is straightforward and doesn’t require you to download and install a new version. Instead, you can modernize your existing server to the latest version.
You can access the latest features by updating your GNS3 server to the newest version. So, you get the bug fixes that were fixed in the previous version. Additionally, you still have all the settings you currently have on the server. These can be your Cisco IOS images or saved GNS3 projects. So, you are unlikely to lose your existing work or data. So, this process means you don’t have to worry.
If you’re getting ready for Cisco exams, do you want help with setting up OSPF on Routers using GNS3? In this easy-to-understand article, we’ll talk about OSPF, which stands for Open Shortest Path First.
With GNS3, you can simulate and try out real network situations. People who work with networks and students use this software a lot to understand how networks work. Thus, they can become proficient at different protocols like OSPF.
The simplest way to use VMware or VirtualBox virtual machines in GNS3 is to use the Cloud structure.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a routing protocol used to inform each other of networks that routers do not know.
In this article, we will use the GNS3 program to add Static Route on Cisco Routers to communicate with computers on two small networks.
In this article, we will examine how to enable Port-Security on Layer 2 Switch in the Network Simulator software.
In this article, we will create VLAN and configure Inter-VLAN routing on the Cisco L2 Switch using the Graphica Network Simulator program.
In this article, we will examine the steps of configuring Cisco Switch on a small network topology with Graphical Network Simulator-3.
