you might look at these two router sims. I have RouterSim's CCNA Network Visualizer and I really like it. I could not have passed the ICND1 Test without it.

Getting your own LAB is always a great option, and if you want to go firther that your CCNA then you will need one, but for the ICND1 and ICND2 test the Sims will work fine for you.

The good thing about the simulations is that they have labs included with them which show you what to do and how to do it where as with my own lab I have nothing telling me to do this or configure that, no direction. and at this point I do not have the experience to create my own lab scenarios.
