gns3 --> switched network...

it's kinda cheesy, word is that by next summer there is a plan to incorporate actual working symbols into the gns3 topology... but for now, it can be represented as below...

R1#ping 10.1.10.112
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.10.112, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 8/11/16 ms
R1#telnet 10.1.10.112
Trying 10.1.10.112 ... Open

that's the gns3 r1 pinging and telneting to als2 on the switched network... 

and the route table of r1...

R1#sh ip route

the red highlighted networks are from the switches... it's very exciting...
