vRack

A Free GNS3 Based Cisco Rack Solution

icon

vRack is designed to run on your home PC or laptop and give you unlimited hands on access to virtual routers running actual Cisco IOS (you need to supply your own IOS code). It runs off GNS3 and we acknowledge their efforts in creating the platform.

vRack will let you play with our pre-configured topologies or create your own. vRack works best on a high-end PC ideally intel Core i “x” processor and 4GB RAM.

Please follow the below videos for downloading and installing vRack. Please also watch the other videos on fine tuning the environment. We strongly recommend you use the 3725 12.4T Advanced IOS image with the 3700 series router available in the list of routers. It also supports the 16 port switching model which allows you to configure basic switching.

Extra topologies for our CCNP ROUTE / 101 CCNP Labs / CCNP Remote Office labs can be dowloaded here. Unzip and install in the projects folder (seen in the below video for IOS). /opt/GNS3/Project
