True, the Nexus 1000V is not really a 'switch', it's more of an interconnect. Still it's a cool piece of software to use with VMware.
Unfortunately it's not possible to emulate switches in GNS3 (GUI for Dynamips and Dynagen). Besides that, why would you bother of emulating a FastEthernet of GigabitEthernet interface? The performance of Dynamips is so low, that you can hardly get 10Mbps of traffic, besides that it's not designed to use it for that purpose and Dynamips has weird layer 1 and layer 2 things and even issues sometimes, so please don't try to use it as test-environment for that. It's awesome, but it works the best for Layer 3 stuff and is fantastic as study environment :-) -- Regards, Rick Mur CCIE2 #21946 (R&S / Service Provider) Sr. Support Engineer – IPexpert, Inc.
