Hi Guys is there any software out there that will enable me to learn and program routers without buying the physical parts like a simulation.

Thanks

    Yes there are a few simulators from different vendors like boson netsim, packet tracer etc.

    If you read the FAQ: http://techexams.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=7268

    It has suggestions for books,labs,sims etc.

    But be aware simulators dont support all of the commands an actual router do and many find that for the price of a simulator you can get a pretty good lab anyway.

    GNS3 or pure Dynamips & Dynagen.

    I even use it from time to time when preparing for CCIE.
