Virtual switch

What are the possibilities for implementing a virtual switch, router, etc. together with the use of virtualization?

Of the existing solutions, I only know GNS, but there some things do not work as we would like ...

If you need training (it’s not very good to start up any emulators in production), then google Cisco IOU. This is a full-fledged Linux-based cisco device emulator, it accepts CCIE labs, there is a Chinese assembly in the form of a virtual machine with a configured CCIE rack of six devices - 4 routers and 2 switches with bridging to a real network.

Cisco has a lot of software for emulating virtual routers and switches.

If I understand you correctly, look towards RouterOS from Mikrotik. Great for virtualization.

The tsiska has a virtual switch under vSphere - Nexus 1000v. Recently, a virtual firewall has appeared. But they cost money, as does the Enterprise Plus VSphere license. And such a decision is justified only in a limited number of cases.

if for a lab, 2950 now costs quite adequate money (in the region of 50 bucks you can buy)
