Help with GNS3

[Rotterdams]

Where can I get the ISO's to start?

 

I want to create a setup with the following hardware:

2x Cisco router 2811

2x Cisco switch 3750

 

I am a total noob btw

They do have a free download, however you are probably better looking at Cisco packet tracer if you are just after learning to configure Cisco only stuff.

What is the difference between Cisco paket tracer and GNS3 ? 

I will only do Cisco because I am going to learn my Cisco CCENT

Packet tracer is provided by Cisco for their products as a training platform to simulate network functionality, GNS3 is the same but supports multiple vendors.

 

Packet tracer will go in to more depth than GNS3 would for Cisco only products however, it also contains some useful help file etc that are Cisco only.

I want to start with Cisco and get my CCENT and CCNA. After that I want to dive into HP, huawei, aruba and juniper.

So GNS3 is a better start then i guess?

I would start with Packet tracer for your Cisco stuff, the move the GNS3 later on

 

You can get hold of CiscoPT from certain places  if you get my drift.

Sorry but I dont get it

Don't think we're allowed to post IOS images since it's borderline piracy (might even be piracy, I haven't read the TOS).

 

But like Falconevo said, go with packet tracer.

For CCNA you will need switches, and GNS3 sucks (or at least used to suck) when it came to switches.

Packet Tracer is also a lot more lightweight and easy to use.

Packet Tracer is not free...

But it can be if you catch his drift
