CISCO ROUTER SIMULATORS...

Good Afternoon All,

I'm currently on the last chapter (Access Control Lists) of CCNA Semester 2.

I'm looking for a Cisco Router Simulator that is actually of some use. Everything that I've downloaded from the internet so far has been completely useless and hasn't supported about 50% of the commands I've learnt thus far. Does anyone know of a good router simulator? I've got my semester 2 final coming up soon and feel that without proper practice on a simulator I don't stand much chance. The CCNA Simulator on this site doesn't even support the 'config t' command!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a flash simulator that is provided on the cisco website but that too is very limited.

Someone please help... the clock is ticking for me.

Thanks in advance for any aid provided.

    Check Ebay. For around $ 50 you have yourself a real used cisco router 1912 with enterprise tools.

    It's unbelievable that cisco don't provide a decent simulator for it's students and that there isn't one out there.

    How come? You need to heave hands on experience. If they would create such simulators anyone would get their certificate and the paper would be less worth.

    Take a look at the following links: (sry if I'm not alout to post links)

    A 1912 is a cisco switch.... icon_wink.gif

    But yes, the only way to get real hands on expierence is with real equipment, sometimes it's cheaper to buy a router/switch then to purchase simulator software.
