Regarding making the investment, I luckily wont be paying out of my own pocket, as my boss is very interested in getting me through this education with the best possible results. However, I did some research and found this calculator: Īccording to this, I should be able to run the projects we use at school, where we'll only use a handful of IOSv routers, and a couple of IOSv L2 switches. While I was doing fine with the iOS images I "found" at home, it seems to be a big jungle trying to obtain these the actual way through Cisco's site.įrom what I can read, you need to purchase a $199 license to download VIRL images, but how much does this include? Will I have to ask my boss to spend 199 for both a router + a L2 switch + a 元 switch? Or does the $199 license give access to a list of Cisco devices, to which you can freely download images for?Īny help is appreciated, since you can probably hear I'm a bit new to all of this.Ĭompared to your Xeon and 66 gigs of ram, my transformed workstation is almost embarrassingly underpowered. I am however, at a bit of a loss when I comes to obtaining Cisco images for the routers/switches. When I got back to my workplace, and talked to my boss, he was very into the idea of me setting up a server to run GNS3, so I could practice before my final period in school. I was recommended GNS3 to emulate the projects we have to do for our final exam, and after toying around with it for a while, the program seems to perfectly fit my needs. I'm a student, trying to brush up my networking skills.
