in CCNA & CCENT
I am looking for a good simulator, preferably one that isnt limited to the CCNA. I have narrowed the search down to Boson Netsim and Routersim, both which can cost 140-215 USD. I also setup a small lab, with a 1924 Catalyst and a 2514 router. DOnt really feel like buying more equipment. Just got them so I can get real exposure.

Is theier a SIM that could carry me through the CCNP?

    If you buy one more 2501 router, you're fine with CCNA.

    Most people around here recommend you invest in your home lab instead of a router sim because at the end of the day, what really matters is how much exposure you've actually had with the equipment. You don't want to be in a situation where you have a CCNA and you can't figure out where to connect the cables....

    I'm setting up a home lab for myself now. There are a lot of places you can get very cheap equipment. You'll just have to shop around a bit.

    Best of Luck

    yea, my instructor has this simulator made by Sybex. It is amazing. The simulator seems just like the exam. The routing simulators are verbatim to the actual CCNA (although they are a bit more simple, ie: hostname config, clockrate ). You should really check Sybex out.
    Why is SuSE better than Redhat?

    Its alllll in the startup scripts. All in the startup scripts. >.<
