Starting with GNS3

At last to get hands on few things in networking, installed GNS3 from the official website.  I had to register and download the all-in-one setup.  I installed all the packages that comes with the setup.

Looking at the GNS GUI, I feel it is a blank framework.  We have to add network devices on our own.  Router/Switches etc.

Being a Software QA in wireless domain, felt sad after knowing that in GNS we cannot  install Cisco Aironet Access Points.

I found the following link:
https://community.gns3.com/docs/DOC-1831

This showed me how to add C3725-AD router.

Trying to start my study with Firewall.  One more obstacle, adding ASA PIX on GNS cannot be done easily, because GNS3 doesnot officially support ASA.

Found a link,
https://community.gns3.com/docs/DOC-1914
that has some info.
