VIRL is a Cisco Licensed Software that can also be used to simulate complex networks. This Server includes both Software Products, although it does not include a VIRL License! If needed, we can assist you with the VIRL License installation process. Both Products need a separate PC to run a Client Software that interacts with the respective Server: – GNS3 GUI Software – VM Maestro Client Software Both are Windows-based tools used to create the actual Network Topology that you are seeking to simulate. This same Client PC is also used to install the vSphere Client to manage the ESXi Server. Important Note about VIRL License : – Price of this item does NOT include the VIRL License! If needed, License must be bought by the Customer. Upgrade Options : Server’s RAM can be upgraded to 48GB (up from 32GB).

Hard Drive can also be upgraded to SSD Drive , either 500GB or 1TB SSD. We can also add other Software components to this Server, like CUCM (Cisco Unified Call Manager) version 12.0 That way you can have a single multi-purpose Server for different Cisco Certifications! Please write to us for details about these Upgrade options. Cisco VIRL is a network design and simulation environment that includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) implemented with the VM Maestro Client Software. Cisco VIRL supports up to 20 Network Nodes. Therefore, you can build very complex Lab environments with this Virtual Lab. VIRL Main Features : These are some of the most important VIRL features: – Includes Official Cisco Images VIRL is the only Tool fully Licensed and approved by Cisco! – Automatic Configuration (done with the AutoNetkit Tool) – Multiple Network Platforms (IOSv, IOSvL2, NX-OSv, IOS XRv, IOS-XEv and ASAv Firewall). VIRL comes with a complete set of Legal and Fully Licensed Cisco IOS Images that are the same as those running on physical Routers & Switches. New Cisco IOS releases are provided in a regular basis. So you’ll always have the most up to date Virtual IOS Images! VIRL supports the classic IOS Images found in common ISR Routers and Layer 2 Switches: IOSv & IOSvL2 VIRL does not support Layer 3 Switches yet, but it might do so in the near future. In addition to the classic IOS Images, VIRL supports advanced Platforms such as IOS XRv & XRv 9000 (used in Service Provider environments) It also supports the ASAv Firewall , that can be used for Security related tasks. Finally, VIRL also supports IOS-XEv , which is the virtual version of the Cisco IOS XE Software that comes in the newest ISR Routers like the 42XX, 43XX and 44XX Series! GNS3 VM Features : These are some of the most important GNS3 VM features : – It supports Standard IOS (Legacy IOS) and VIRL IOS Images (GNS3 2.0 and higher) – Cisco Images are not embedded like in VIRL, so they must be obtained separately. By using VIRL Images, GNS3 provides support for IOS 15. X (IOSv, IOSvL2 & IOS XEv) – All work is done on the GNS3 Client PC! The GNS3 VM only provides back-end services. One of the traditional limitations of GNS3 is the fact that it doesn’t include ANY Cisco Images. So although you can download & install GNS3 for Free, normally you won’t be able to do anything with it. GNS3 users normally struggle trying to find IOS Images that can be imported into it. As mentioned above, GNS3 now can also import VIRL Images, which provides support for IOS 15. Bonus Software and Training Materials : This item includes a Disk (DVD) with the following Software and Training Materials : – VMware vSphere 6.0 Client Software – VMware ESXi 6.0 Operating System Installation Files (ISO CD Image) – mRemoteNG Connections Manager (provides Telnet/SSH access to the virtual devices) – VM Maestro Client Software (Maestro must be installed in a separate computer) – VIRL Training Videos Materials (Videos about the installation, configuration and use of VIRL) – GNS3 GUI and Server Software (GUI must also be installed in a separate computer) – GNS3 Training Videos Materials (Videos about the installation, configuration and use of GNS3).
