I am however, at a bit of a loss when I comes to obtaining Cisco images for the routers/switches. When I got back to my workplace, and talked to my boss, he was very into the idea of me setting up a server to run GNS3, so I could practice before my final period in school. I was recommended GNS3 to emulate the projects we have to do for our final exam, and after toying around with it for a while, the program seems to perfectly fit my needs. The process isn't streamlined and surprisingly, the script they provide for part of the upgrade process doesn't always work.I'm a student, trying to brush up my networking skills. During an upgrade, I often had to reboot more than once and start over. I do give Cisco a tip of the hat for decent documentation though. And don't get me started on the upgrade process. I should also mention you'll sometimes need to end sessions from the admin console on the server if you run into issues within VIRL. It's also because if you are running ESXi, you need to perform some Linux commands if you run into issues setting it up as I did.
This isn't just because the VIRL server runs on Ubuntu. Also, You'll need to be comfortable with Linux. I wonder if you can use Virtual Box? You need TONS of computer resources. So you need to be extremely comfortable with VMware. You need a server that you need to import from an ova file.
VIRL is a program that requires many components.
