I want to load some router firmware onto a virtual machine to run some testing/analysis without actually putting it on the router hardware. Is this possible and how would I go about doing it? Thanks 🙂
edit: it would be various routers and firmwares I'm looking more for a general idea of the process.

If you're talking about Cisco routers, you may have success using GNS3.
Really, Dynamips is the program that does the emulation, but GNS3 is a nice front end.
