Morning all...

ahhm quick question. the cisco switch that has a IOS is that what they call the catalyst switch? if so can i work with it virtually in gns3? cause the switch there doesnt seem to have IOS. like in cisco's packet tracer

ahhm quick question. the cisco switch that has a IOS is that what they call the catalyst switch?

Cisco IOS (is an Internetwork Operating System by meaning) is the software used on the vast majority of Cisco Systems routers and current Cisco network switches. (Earlier switches ran CatOS.) IOS is a package of routing, switching, internetworking and telecommunications functions tightly integrated with a multitasking operating system.

Most Cisco products that run IOS also have one or more "feature sets" or "packages", typically eight packages for Cisco routers and five packages for Cisco network switches. For example, Cisco IOS releases meant for use on Catalyst switches are available as "standard" versions (providing only basic IP routing), "enhanced" versions, which provide full IPv4 routing support, and "advanced IP services" versions, which provide the enhanced features as well as IPv6 support.

Brad, I think you need better understanding of GNS3 and Packet Tracer.

GNS3 is a graphical network simulator. This is based on Dynamips, Pemu (including its wrapper) and in part on Dynagen, it has been developed in python and through PyQt the GUI part is made with the powerful Qt library, famous for its use in the KDE project. GNS3 also uses the SVG technology (Scalable Vector Graphics) to provide high quality symbols for designing your network topologies. Thus, GNS3 is medyo kuti rather than Packet tracer however, GNS3 could interface different CISCO IOS versions - A real IOS can be extracted coming from the real CISCO Devices bearing an extension of ".bin" file. Pero that's not what you think is easy as to be just na ma extract nimo is ok na, but you need a kuti pajud, you need a third-party software to work on that para ma read sa GNS3. then, need config gamay arun mudagan ang mga components just like the way that they are in the real hardware jud.

Packet tracer is also a graphical network simulator. However, you need not the .bin file to run the components. The current version of Packet Tracer supports an array of simulated Application Layer protocols, as well as basic routing with RIP, OSPF, and EIGRP, to the extent required by the current CCNA curriculum. While Packet Tracer aims to provide a realistic simulation of functional networks, the application itself utilizes only a small number of features found within the actual hardware running a current Cisco IOS version. Thus, Packet Tracer is unsuitable for modeling production networks. With the introduction of version 5.3, several new features were added, including BGP. BGP is not part of the CCNA curriculum, but part of the CCNP curriculum.

Packet Tracer is commonly used by Cisco Networking Academy students working towards Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification. Due to functional limitations, it is intended by Cisco to be used only as a learning aid, not a replacement for Cisco routers and switches.

Thus, Packet tracer contains limit features unlike GNS3. GNS3 is closes to the real world of network experience (of such about 99%).

Very well said bro! 100% like., GOOD POINT!

this is the explanation ive been looking for, thanks drwtsn32, im just starting to learn networking, im currently following Jeremys ICND 1 in CBT nuggets, and when he was demonstrating the SSH basics part on the switch thats where i cant follow coz the commands jeremy demonstrated wasnt supported in the packet tracer at least thats what i thnk, and thats where i started to research about GNS3, so to summarize im just new packet tracer, GNS3 and networking so i need your advise and help, btw thank you sooo much everyone

also in the GNS3 i already have the ios on the routers loaded, i also have ios for a cisco switch, is there a way that i can use the switch that has an IOS, not just the preset switch.. ive tried to research about this but cant find any answer.

ma block na sya ang FB bisan https pa ang gamit ang amo gigamit nga firewall IASA server 2010 Forefront Threat Management Gateway..

Sonicwall amo gamit boss..ok pud..

[darkdevil]

Puede ra kaayo ma block sa OPenDNS

[r0mm3L]

murag ang istorya na abot na sa gns3 packet tracer ug cert hay...

[bayan]

insert lng ko ha.. actually i created a thread for ths, mrag c gabs ra ang nkakita.hehe, knsa kbalo mu filter ug https using smoothwall 3.0.,, amu giblock ang fb, youtube and any streaming sites ma block jd cya (http: //www.facebook.com - ako lng na gbutangan ug spce coz para dli mahimo nga link) pero kung e secure cya like https://www.facebook.com maka access mn.. .actually we had tried to block the https (port 443).. but ang problem ky dli pd mablock pd ang mail..

i need ur help guys.. saon newbie pa sd ko ani... .thanks in advance

naka agi pud ko ani nga problema before bro..i even try to block facebook,you tube ip address pro dili mada daghan kaayo ip ila site..ako gibuhat is ng web filtering ko sa firewall,,(netscreen ako gamit),din activate ko integrated surfcontrol,,karon wala nay blema,ma block na nimo ang dapat i block..

[bayan]

Suggestions use linux file server or lock your Usb PORTS kay sa school daghan student mugamit ug USB Stick and you know USB stick is major source of viruses.

mao jud..maski sa office block jud ang usb..if wala kay software pang block..try lang to manually block ang usb port..i deny lang didto sa security tab....
