What version is required to practice commands?

lon21

I'm new to CCNA and learning through the CBT Nuggets videos.

I would like to practice some of the commands from the video. I'm using a tool called Cisco Packet Tracer and have chosen one of the switches but I find that some of the commands are not available from the videos.

I was advised that the iOS version may be out of date.

Is there any simulation tool out there which has updated commands I can practice on, or is there any way I can update my tool.

Thanks

Unfortunately, Packet Tracer is only available for Cisco Networking Academy students, teachers, and alumni. If you are one of those three, you can log into the CNA site and get the latest version. If you're not, we can't help you pirate it.

That being said, Packet Tracer was designed specifically for the CCNA, so if what you have is a fairly recent version, it should support MOST of the commands that you need to know. One thing you can try is to use a different model of switch as we have found that the different models support a few different commands than the others.

And it's IOS, not iOS. We're not discussing iPods here.
