But, If you are installing GNS3 on Windows, It’s recommended you should go for GNS3 VM. Because, with the help of GNS3 VM, you can improve the overall performance of the system. Also, with the help of GNS3 VM, you can run several Cisco IOS ( Routers) and IOU ( Premium Switches) in comparison to GNS3 Virtual Machine Installation. Getting Started with GNS3 – Creating the First Project in GNS3 How to add Routers and Switches in GNS3 GNS3 supports many devices from multiple vendors and more devices are being added all the time. The best place to look for the current list of supported devices is the GNS3 marketplace: https://gns3.com/marketplace/appliances Use Cases ​The GNS3 toolbar found at the top of the GNS3 GUI, contains groups of icons that allow you to easily perform common tasks. It is important for optimum GNS3 performance that an Idle-PC value be selected. Occasionally, some images will already display an Idle-PC value:

The third GNS3 Toolbar Group allows you to Start, Suspend, Stop, and Restart all the topology devices at once.The first screen of the wizard shows a welcome message and a suggestion to close other applications before starting the installation of GNS3. It’s only a suggestion, not a requirement. You can install GNS3 while other applications are running, but in that case, you have to restart the system before you can use it. Questions often arise about which software is the best. A lot of this is down to personal preference with all solutions providing some benefits and having some disadvantages. This problem doesn’t occur with the paid version of VMware because a central database is available to third parties applications. Why use VMWare? ​ The GUI of the GNS3 is very easy to use, so you can easily drag and drop installed templates. So, you can easily build new topologies and learn protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, STP, etc.
