that1guy15, Can you provide me a tutorial about how using this software and a CISCO lab that I can make?
</div>

The software is pretty straight forward to install. The only down side to GNS3 is you will need your own IOS's. Here is a good getting started tutorial from BlindHog.net that shows the basics of GNS3.<br />

Check out all the other tutorials from blind hog to get some good ideas for labs. Dig through the post for both GNS3 and Dynamips.<br />

Oh and by the way GNS3 is free.<br />

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
