Dynamips and Dynagen are invaluable and free. As long as you have access to some IOS images, they are almost as good as the real deal.

There's alot of info on how to use it, and what i can do right here on the forums in the FAQ.
Be sure to read Dynagens tutorial all the way through. Thats what really got me started using Dynamips/Dynagen for real.
