The main advantage of IOL over the traditional Dynamips emulator is performance. As an L3 image, it can be used as a router, simulating routing protocols, ACLs, NAT, and MPLS with minimal CPU usage. This allows running labs with dozens of routers simultaneously.
The i86bi-linux-l3-adventerprisek9-ms.155-2.t.bin is a robust and efficient L3 IOU image, perfect for simulating complex networking scenarios. Its ability to run on GNS3 with low resource overhead makes it an excellent choice for certification studies and lab testing. and go to Edit > Preferences > IOU Devices > IOU Images
