Hi, I am a new instructor, and I am preparing some interesting courses for you, I hope that this course and the future one will come in handy for you.

Meanwhile I want to be of a little help to everyone who is struggling with GNS3 installation and use, and give you some tips and tricks on how to use it.

GNS3 is a pretty well made application for virtualisation, if you are a network engineer as I am, or a SystemAdmin, if you want to run different VMs including Windows or Linux if you want to just play with new stuff on internet, you are welcomed to take this course.

We will start with installation of GNS3 on various frequently used Operating Systems: Windows, MAC OS, Linux, after that i will show you how to import Juniper, Windows, Ubuntu appliances, modify the blueprint for ease of use in your future projects.

GNS3 requires 2 components to run, GNS3 VM and GNS3 Client on Windows and MacOS, GNS3 Client and GNS3 Server on Linux. GNS3 server can be ran on any Linux based system local or cloud, and can be accessed remotely by the GNS3 Client, if it have an reachable IP address.

With 10 years experience in IT field, 5 years ago I started to get a big interest in Networking, the first vendor I worked for is Juniper and I fell in love with the simplicity of the CLI, Structure of the OS and overall feel of the Configuration and Troubleshooting Experience.

Since then I got my JNCIA Certification, then JNCIS and JNCIP it was a long an interesting ride.

I have working experience in different companies which were using Juniper Products including Juniper, IBM, Telekom and Orange Services and also Freelancing Activities supporting customers in need, and gained enough knowledge to be able to share them with you, but there is always room for improvement, never stop the learning process!

I've noticed that the best way to learn something is actually by doing it, and theory without a good practice is a waste of time.

I've started to experiment with LABs in GNS3 and I've noticed that I am getting better after each of them.

With these LABs my hope is that you can learn and get better and land the job which you are aiming to.

Use your certificate to make a career change or to advance in your current career.
