Getting Started with GNS3
This course is designed for beginners who have no prior experience with GNS3 and want to learn how to use it for creating Cisco networking topologies. It is ideal for learners preparing for Cisco certification exams, as well as anyone who wants to practice networking concepts in a virtual lab environment. Through this course, learners will understand how GNS3 can be used to design, build, and test Cisco network scenarios without needing a full physical lab setup. The training provides a clear starting point for those who want to gain hands-on experience with routers, switches, and other network devices while improving their practical networking skills. Whether your goal is certification preparation, technical practice, or simply exploring network lab creation for personal learning, this course helps you build the foundation needed to confidently begin working with GNS3.
Instructor

Keith Bogart
Course Instructor
Keith started his networking career as customer service representative at Cisco Systems in 1996. His desire to learn more soon led him to a position as a Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineer on the “Dial-Access” team, and within six months he had obtained his Dial-ISP CCIE. He later became a network consulting engineer and obtained his CCNA certification while teaching the technologies to Cisco employees during his lunch breaks. Keith was the first instructor on Cisco’s TAC Training team, where he taught a wide range of internetworking topics and later developed and taught other courses such as routing protocols, LAN switching, MPLS, 802.1x, and CCNA. After almost 17 years with Cisco, Keith joined a small startup and focused on 802.11 Wi-Fi technologies, during which time he obtained his CWNA certification. He is now very happy to be working as an instructor for Routing & Switching. Keith lives in Raleigh, North Carolina, with his wife, son, and daughter. When he is not teaching Bootcamps, Keith can be found at home with his family, reading, or working in the yard.
