Welcome to the forums iffi,

At www.clickx3.com they offer limited router access.

www.andtek.net also used to offer free router access, but their 'labs' were down at the time I posted this.

You could also try one of these great simulators:
Boson's Router Simulator
www.routersim.com


Let us know if you find more of these...

Wow, great link Bellboy, this one provides a lab with full ('enable') access actually connecting two routers (setting the clock rate, ip addresses etc.).
I just took a quick peek and it seems CCNA students should definitely check this out! You can actually practice password recovery (remotely!)

I was impressed by www.clickx3.com so far. I also liked the andtek site. The Boson site was confusing to me.

Anyone have any good ideas for study books? I was looking at the official Cisco Press book about the CCNA (604-607) exam.

Lastly, how much does it cost to take the CCNA test? I can't find a price on Cisco's site ANYwhere and I'm not ready to take it just yet. I do need to budget the amount for the test, though.

Thanks,
Relkin
