2.3.1. Functionalities of GNS3
Оглавление– Simulates the behavior of two network interfaces connected via an Ethernet cable.
– Emulates routers, switches and other computers or servers. The respective components are operated with real software. Consequently, each virtual router requires a real IOS image. The thousands of lines of code of the highest-performance routers will be executed exactly as they would be in the real world, thus yielding the same behaviors as in production.
– GNS3 can be used to capture traffic between two virtual routers via Wireshark.
– It is possible to integrate virtualized Windows and Linux operating systems via VirtualBox or other virtualization solutions.
– GNS3 provides a link between the simulated network and the real physical network so that the virtual and physical components function together.
