Router for CCNP

joshgibson82joshgibson82 Member Posts: 80 ■■□□□□□□□□
Does anyone know if a Cisco 800 series router has enough of the SDM (GUI) features to practice for the CCNP parts that require the SDM? I know the ISCW and the ONT have parts on it from the GUI, and I want to know if anyone has used the 800 series to study. The 1811 has it for sure, but those are around 800 bucks.

Thanks,
Josh, CCNP CWNA

    I've taken both of those tests in the last 6 months and used a free router simulator called dynamips to learn the SDM. Dynamips runs real complete Cisco router IOS images so you aren't running a limited sim that would restrict you to just a few screens or commands. I found it to be an invaluable tool for learning the SDM for both those tests, and it won't cost you anything.

    Dynamips is great. We use it to test configurations before deploying them to our network. I have even read that there are some fixes to allow it to emulate switches, but I haven't really looked to find out more.

    I am also using dynamips to study for the CCNP Exams. I also use it at work to test router configurations

    So can anyone tell me how to find/use dynamips? I have no clue about them.

    Thanks!
