in CCNA & CCENT
Evening All...
I am currently studying for my CCNA, coming to the end of CCNA 1 so just learning the basic command lines. trouble i have is that i don't have a lot of space at home to have a lot of hardware.
So i was looking for any virtual environment where i could maybe have a couple of routers and a switch so i could practice. Ideally would also be nice to be able to run something like wireshark to visualize what exactly is going on.
I have a full version of VMWare (doubting there is anything for this) and i do also have packet tracer.
Is there anything else that i could get my hands on?
P.S i do have access to hardware at uni but like i mentioned would like something to play with at home during these dark winter nights that are fast approaching.
Thanks in advance.

Dynamips/Dynagen/GNS if you have an IOS image. No switching support though

Technically dynamik you can do most of the "switching" practice with a NM-16ESW

You can do a good amount, but lots of stuff is still missing. A 2950 or two wouldn't hurt.
