Setup Environment:

• Ensure GNS3 and GNS3-VM are up and running.
• Familiarize myself with the Topology Summary, Server Summary, and Console panes.

Building the Topology:

• Drag and drop an Ethernet switch and two VPCS nodes (PC-1 and PC-2) from the Devices Toolbar into the Workspace.
• Connect the devices using the Add a Link tool.

Power and Configure Devices:

• Power on devices using the green "Play" button.
• Assign IP addresses to VPCS nodes:
  • PC-1: 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
  • PC-2: 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
• Test connectivity with ping commands.

Add More Devices:

• Add a third VPCS node (PC-3), assign IP 10.1.1.3 255.255.255.0, and ensure connectivity with other nodes.

Save Configurations:

• Save VPCS configurations to preserve settings.
