And they're available inexpensively or even free.īuying used gear is most often technically just as illegal as grabbing the images from some file sharing site because the licenses are not transferable.

Switches work on the ASIC chip which is a hardware control chip, and its impossible to simulate ASIC. Though you can configure router to use NM-16ESW and then you can apply some of the switch configurations. Unfortunately, there is no way we can simulate switch in GNS3.
