We continue to publish new class types, which are based on real-world classes that schools have hosted using Azure Lab Services.  This class type shows how to setup labs with GNS3 to emulate/simulate different networking scenarios.


GNS3 is an open source software that allows emulation, configuration, testing, and troubleshooting of networks on the lab VM.  GNS3 has been available for over 10 years with support for many devices from multiple network vendors.


 


This class type includes:



  • Recommended VM size for the lab.

  • How to setup GNS3 on the lab template.

  • Configure GNS3 to use Hyper-V VM.

  • Example costing for a class.


Here is where you can find the new Networking class type: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lab-services/class-type-networking-gns3
