GNS3 LAB is one of the best solution for CISCO Virtual lab that everyone knows. I am not going to explore you whole lot of junk about how to setup initial cisco lab in GNS3 here as it is described into my another blog.
Shortly here I am going to describe how you can easily setup internet access to your GNS3 LAB. And its so easy. dont worry. just follow my following steps to setup your first CISCO GNS3 LAB to get internet access.


I am assuming you have already downloaded GNS3 all-in-one package in your Windows machine. If not, you can download it from HERE.

Step 1:  As I am using CISCO 7200 router Image, (You can get all CISCO router images from here). If you cant download, please email us (info@naatsystems.com). We are going to send you IOS images.

Step 2: Configure your laptops or computers physical network interface (wired /wireless) with a static IP address and make sure you have internet access after the configuration of static IP address.

Step 3: Install Microsoft loopback interface. Click here to see the detailed procedure. You must reboot your computer after installing loopback interface to make it recognized by GNS3.

Step 4: Configure Static IP address for your loopback interface. IP address should be a different and self declared IP address.

Step 5: In GNS3 drag one cloud from left pane to the design pane. right-click on the cloud and click configure and add newly installed loopback interface. Click OK.

Step 6: Now drag down a CISCO7200 router from left-pane to design-pane. Establish link between Router and Cloud.

Step 7: Configure router cloud facing interface an IP address within the network range selected for loopback interface.

Step 8: Establish a default route where the next hope will be loopback interface IP address.

** If you can complete upto this, you are all done. now you can enjoy your first ping to internet from your GNS3 router.

This is always important to setup your own lab at home for CISCO certification. You can take either CISCO simulation solution or solution based on GNS3.
The Best part for ICND1 Certification is you can own a simple Cisco 800 series ADSL router for initial preparation.

But don't worry if you are tensed about buying buying a CISCO device rig
ht now you have many potential ways to go ahead. And here is a good news for you, I received my CCNA ICND2 certificate without purchasing any CISCO Router or CISCO Switch. But if you have a device indeed the benefit of practice networking is faster than usual.

So what we can do to setup our very first CISCO Home lab? sounds crazy right But its dam easy infect many of you knows it already. Although this is not the goal of my blog I am here to give you little advanced information of how to use your very first home lab most efficiently.

So for a Cisco Home Lab. we need the primary most basic but most impressive to work with simulation software, Cisco Packet Tracer from Cisco or from anywhere you can get a free link for it.

Cisco Packet Tracer is only available to download for the authorized member (How to) of Cisco Network Academy and not recommended to download from any other source like torrent where it is freely available. Cisco is not liable for any security breach issue if you use the unauthorized version of this software.

Please have a look at the software interface if you want to get much familiar with the interface and how it works.



The second and my most favorite technique is to setup your home Lab is, using GNS3. An opensource Cisco image Emulator which will give you a real life cisco experience indeed it needs a good amount of Computer hardware resources in order to run. So if you are ready for a real life experience, then go for GNS3 instead of Cisco packet tracer.

But if you thinking you need to develop your basic skills on networking, then there is no alternative fast way than Cisco Packet Tracer. I love this software.

Mikrotik is now leading the most small to mid range office environment and many of the ISPs also uses their products for customer end routing and packet filtering firewall purpose. As an entry label Network Associate you will face Mikrotik Router Board most of the time in most of the companies.
Boards comes with Graphical User Interfaces which is so flexible and friendly. Unlike CISCO, Mikrotik GUI is so light and fast which is not dependent on JAVA plugin which is the most advantage while you start working. Interface is so user friendly and if you are a command line lover, you will find MIKROTIK GUI is made according to the command line command syntax.

I have found most people start using Mikrotik from GUI which is accessed using a light utility called Winbox.
Winbox is free and available in MIKROTIK website and also you will find it on your Routers HTTP page.
For most of those command line is easy to use and can be learned very fast once you are so much familiar with GUI.

So why are we here for? Not for reading what Mikrotik can do and why we should use them? There are thousands of thousands of pages which will describe much more about Mikrotik Routerboard.

But here we are to learn working with Mikrotik. If you think you need to learn networking, I shall suggest you to go through our CCNA Series. Things are similar when you come to know how networking works. Vendors wont be able to create barrier for you. Trust me.

If you already know Basic networking and interested to expand your knowledge with a new commercial Vendor, this series is waiting for your. Take a deep breath and click on the following link if you want to start right from now.
