How can I run a virtual network?

Hello All.
I want to launch a virtaul network with some devices like router, Virtual machine and etc and use some tools like metasploit to attack it, is it possible?
I saw some app like Firewall Builder and Gns3, Can I use them to make my labs ?

Thanks.
Cheers.

there's no such thing as a "virtual network". There are plenty of ways to allow VM's to attach to bridge interfaces, which can allow multiple VM's on the same box to communicate without relating to a physical network presence, but it's not a "thing" in itself. if you create a VM whatever framework you use will more than likely to offer to create a private bridge to use if that's what you want.

In your opinion, Can I use GNS3 for simulation a attack? For example, work on sisco routers
