Cisco Lab Sims

nick619

Hi All,

Does anyone know where I could get some cisco sim software? I want to get more familiar with ciscos ios and perhaps take the ccna. I already know theory behind most of the stuff, except igrp and eigrp, from working with other vendors.

Thanks in advance.

I remeber having some sim software included when I bought Lammle's book for the CCNA, though I can't remember the name of it. It was decent, but the command set was somewhat limited (enough commands for the CCNA). Still, would let you set up multiple routers, switches, and different types of interfaces with test PCs on different sides of the network.

The Boson Netsim is pretty good and sells for about $150, but if you have the extra money I would recommend getting a test lab with real routers and switches. Something as small as 2 2500 series routers and 1 1900 series switch would work fine and you can get it for around $400-$500.

Here is a link to the software:
