GNS3 simulator with real network integration

It's really hard to get all network equipment at home for simulation.

1. It's very expensive
2. We are going to use for simulation and after that???

Hence Simulator :-)

GNS3 plays a vital role in Network Engineer's simulation life. So Voice Engineers.

While trying to simulate CME in router, it is mandatory to connect with real / SOHO network. Here is the configuration steps to integrate GNS3 simulator with real network.

Like GNS3 it's simple

1. Check your PC IP configuration where GNS3 is installed

2. Create a topology in GNS3 with a virtual router and a cloud node.

Router has a FastEthernet 0/0 interface which is connected on the Cloud C1 node's NIO Ethernet

3. Configure the NIO Ethernet of Cloud node with the LAN of the PC

4. Configure the Interface of fa0/0 of Router with an IP address which is in the same subnet of the PC

That's it. Now I can ping from any PC to the router in my network and vice versa

Note: It is not possible to ping between the router and the PC where GNS3 is installed
