I had spent months trying to figure virl out

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

For instance i wanted to use the mac os x terminal app instead of the stock cisco terminal but couldnt figure out

But this book explained how to do it and also pointed me to a link where i was able to download the required apple script

Minor detail but saves months of fruitless google searches

Using virl was also unnecessarily unwieldy and seemed clunky compared to gns3

But as i read further and further into the book i am beginning to enjoy using virl more and i am thinking that it might actually be able to stand shouldertoshoulder with gns3 one day especially with its advantage in legit cisco ios images

Which is great but it is hard to get the newer cisco ios versions to properly simulate a working network

I had the academic version of virl and it was discontinued as of 212017 had i known i will have not purchased this book
