I've been resisting GNS3 for the longest time=2C because I like real equipm=
ent and to get my hands a little dirty.
But for the purpose of simulation=2C GNS3 helped me identify a BGP issue la=
st week. If it weren't for GNS3=2C
I would not have been able to figure it out.
I will be using GNS3 in the future now for as much I can. Remember it is mo=
re router oriented than switch.
So you can't do any fancy L3 switching......
