This helps network administrators set up priorities for how traffic moves around the network.Īnother big reason we like using 元 devices is because of something called VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). 元 devices also have cool extras like Quality of Service (QoS). In simple terms, we can stop a user from doing things like pinging with the ICMP protocol.
Plus, we can use almost everything that an actual device can do, like all the cool features and commands.įor instance, with 元 devices, we can control where users can and cannot go using something called Access Control Lists (ACLs).
First off, we can use it on our computer without having to buy a real one. This software lets us emulate a Cisco 元 Switch device, and that gives us a bunch of good things. What Can We Do with 元 Switch in the GNS3 Program?
