However, with the modern integration of QEMU into GNS3, it is now possible to emulate actual switch images (specifically the 2960) more effectively, provided you have the correct file.
For beginners, provides a functional (though limited) 2960 simulation without licensing hurdles. For advanced professionals, invest in Cisco CML to emulate production-like switching. cisco catalyst 2960 ios gns3 download
