Abstract
The article covers some experiences of using and testing virtual machines in computer networking classes. The experiments include building local network topology and architecture, configuration of operating systems, working with virtual network devices. There is a difficulty of implementing these experiments in laboratories at universities and colleges. Therefore, laboratories are shared by different field students at higher education institutions. This problem can be solved by the use of virtual machines and virtual networks that mean students to work on their own virtual machines in own virtual networks. The use of virtual machines and network enables the other everyday activities and processes at the institutions run continuously. The article presents some experiments in the use virtual machines at laboratory works.
