Netsim bug?

fonque

Im using Boson Netsim V5.something.
While working on an excersice that involves intervlan communication I am trying to set up the first switch and the "show interface vlan 1" command does not work. This excersice, (second half) involves 1 router 2x 2950's and 1 pc.

If i try the same command on the other 2950 it works fine, but not of the first one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it's a bug or not in this case, but I woud ensure you're using the command from privileged exec mode and not user/config mode.

This is why i hate simulators

I had a version of boson netsim for CCNP but it was a beta and had some issues, but the fact it was a beta told me thats what it would.

I think most of the issues come when you try to do things that are stated in the lab manuals....like if they say to do sh run, sh ip int brief and sh ip route, but then you try to run other commands that they haven't stated for that particular lab....

Thanks for the replys, I never actually ever figured out the issue.
I just reloaded the lab and started from scratch. It worked when I started from scratch and did every command in the exact same order as the walkthrough.

Whats the fun in that?

Is there anyway I can upgrade my copy of netsim?

I get exactly the same bug, i find sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt depending on which scenario you use.

hmm...

Maybe contact Boson and pay for the updated CCNP Netsim?

There may be a discount for upgrading from an older/publishers version.
