Few days ago I added an article with Config GNS3 topology for newly published INE Routing and Switching Workbook v5 Full-Scale LAB1. Here’s now the topology with starting config of TS section for LAB1.
I will not insert here any of my stories today as the same article was published before but with other topology files so if you would like more info, just go to previous post INE R&Sv5 Workbook Full-Scale Practice Lab1 made in GNS3

Everything should work fine in this lab except OSPF Loop-Free Alternate Fast Reroute which is not supported so you will be unable to do one of the tickets. The second this is BFD. With BFD configured in MPLS core my routers started to crash so I simply removed bfd from all router configs.
- INE R&S Workbook 5 Full-Scale Practice Lab1 TS
- To make everything work without any tuning of the configuration and topology files I did prepare this in a way that if you unzip the file directly to C:\ it will put there GNS3_INEv5 folder from which you can simply start the topology file.
- If you unzip somewhere else, you will need to change the path for IOS image and config files directory inside topology file. (topology.net)
If there is something that does not work please leave a comment so I will try to fix it. I hope this will help you get started with GNS3 learning.
I’ve been trying to recreate the lab as much as I can but whenever I restart the router it crashed with the following:

any suggestions?
Hello, I was able to create the lab ( up to 30 routers , depends on your PC , CPU and RAM ) , using ubuntu machine, and real switches ( 5 of them ) , it worked fine , Jad
Hi,
does this support in MAC? I tried to open it but no luck!
I am looking into making the topology for OS X GNS3 too. For now, this file is for Windows use only.
Sorry for that.
Hi Valter,
I have started to work on INE woorkbook V5.Is it posible practice individual heading under above topology? or the other one?
What is the PC requirement that will make this lab work in GNS3 ?
You will probably need around 16GB of RAM to power all up and work with it.
I had 8GB but I powered on devices that I need in specific exercise, not all at once.
thank you so much for the effort !!! appreaciated
