Hello, I am currently running Parallels on my 2018 MacBook Pro. I essentially run just one windows program and keep it running in coherence at all times. It is a lot of memory to keep the entire windows platform on my computer just to run one program. The program isn't compatible with crossover. I basically have two virtual machines each having its own gns3 lab. The virtual machine has a bridged adapter configured since i will be connecting this to another PC through an ethernet cable. Each lab has an emulated 3600 router with the 16ESW slot. With 4 VPCS included connected via switches. My problem is that i cannot get my VPCS ping out.

What is GNS3 you may ask?
VMware Workstation Pro has been the ‘swiss army knife’ for IT admins for the past 15+ years, and while Workstation has been long regarded as the IT Admin’s tool of choice, it’s increasingly becoming the same for Network Engineers and ADmin as well.
Combining GNS3 and VMware gives that swiss army knife to Network Engineers in a very meaningful way.
From their site, GNS3 is a tool to:
