Download VIRL Images: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you're looking for a reliable way to emulate your networking projects, GNS3 is an excellent option that perfectly fits my needs. As a student trying to improve my networking skills, I was recommended to use GNS3 by a fellow student.

For those interested in creating new Cisco DevNet Learning Labs, please contact a DevNet administrator for guidance. If you'd like to contribute to existing labs, refer to the contributing.md file. The online JSON formatter and validator are also available to help you validate your files.

One of the standout features of GNS3 is its lightweight environment for coding (or writing Markdown). This allows me to write my code in a plain text editor and preview it simultaneously on my desktop or web-based option.

To create and publish a new lab, follow these steps:

* Create markdown files named 1.md, 2.md, and so on, and refer to them in the labs/ folder JSON file.

* Ensure that the JSON file contains appropriate page titles and file references.

* When you're done previewing, type Ctrl+C to stop running the Docker container.

GNS3 also provides a Makefile in the root of the repository, which lets me run make preview to view the output HTML. If I need more help, I can reach out to DevNet through one of our support options.

The goal of these learning labs is to provide a 'hands-on' approach rather than theory or instructions. Once approved, Cisco DevNet reviewers create a release to publish through our Learning Labs system.

These self-paced interactive tutorials are designed for developers to establish a basic level of proficiency using VM Maestro and VIRL. For more information on how to contribute to these labs, please refer to the contributing.md file.
