Cisco Router Simulator

Since today's enterprise network environment has become increasingly complicated, Cisco offers training certification programs to ensure proper product and application knowledge. Cisco offers multiple levels of training for those IT professionals that want to progress to the highest level of knowledge, plus have a vendor-sponsored certification for proof of their capability. As a part of the training and certification process, students will benefit from the use of a Cisco Router Simulator, offering simulation programs that give the student hands-on experience in preparation for CCNA and CCNP certification exams.

Network Visualizer 4.1 is a simulator (made by RouterSim) that allows the student to design, build, and configure a mock network with drag/drop ease of use. Simulators offer the student the flexibility to learn and practice at their own pace, not confined to a formal classroom environment. Further, the student can practice configurations of unlimited size and scale, and as often as desired. For those that prefer self-based training preparation, router simulators offer a beneficial alternative to traditional classroom instruction.

Other sources for Cisco router simulators include:

• Semsim.com offers simulation based virtual labs and practice tests.
• Bonson.com Bonson NetSim v6.0 offers over 140 practice labs
• Softpile.com is a link to a shareware version of Sem Sim, including tutorial and test modes. At $29.00, it's a bargain for anyone preparing for CCNA or CCNP testing certification.

If you are considering getting certified in Cisco routers, a router simulator for Cisco router products is a great investment - it will only serve to improve the quality of your learning. See Cisco.com for more information on Cisco training.
