VMWARE


Dynamips is the default Cisco emulator that comes usable with GNS3 for the virtualization software. This allows for the use of older Cisco IOS images; as the newer IOS images are not supported with Dynamips. To make use of Newer IOS images as well as run Juniper code you will have to install and run VMware.
