How to Setup the Switching Lab With Web IOU v 22

Normally we used packet tracer and GNS 3 for Routing & switching Lab and it will be okay for routing but some switching features can’t making with this .
Here, I used Web IOU v 22 for Switching Lab , it can be do almost switching features as like real devices .
To Setup the IOU, we will need VM ware like Virtual Box or VM workstation that can be easy download from Internet .
Here isthe some Ovf for IOU VM and useful link for easy setup.

At first , need to import the ovf to VM ware workstation .
