Re: Anyone take v5?

Hey JB & & all,

As the l2 at stuff is pretty much ingrained in me I have gone GNS3 for the
ease of wireshark captures. I also have the old v4 lab for the l2 stuff.

I tried a 1000v and crashed my UCS after the 6th box & honestly I can't see
the advantage of spending the B#B#B# on a server to run this. Plus GNS spins
up fast and runs on my laptop :)

I have IOL/IOU and I opted out only because the captures were not as
straight forward, requiring a external link to a virtual nic for live
captures.

I tried VIRL it and all my memory as I used a 1000v router, could not find
any l2 and quickly got frustrated and turned it off.

V5 for me in December as I failed the V4 with 33b & 65b, just going
through all the features again with INE.

So GNS I know, I wanted to get going quickly so I opted for this, the
coming updates look promising to with a promise of l2.

I am open to ideas, ideally I want to run a fully virtual lab for ios XE,
Juno's and any h/w I want to plug in. But for now my time is dedicated to
study, GNS is my quick and easy tool :)

That's my story, am keen to hear others :)
