I have developed the Networksims.com (prev.
network-emulators.com) package over the past years based on
enhancing the teaching related to networking. Current demos
are:
CCNA Challenge 1 [Click
here - D1]. In this demo the basic details of
the E0 port are defined, such as for its IP address, subnet
mask, status, description, and so on. Each time the challenge
is run it gives a new set of challenge parameters.
CCNP ONT Challenge [Click
here - D19]. UNIQUE FEATURE! The new CCNP certification
related to ONT (Optimizing Converged Networks - 642-845) has
just been released. Networksims contains a full coverage of
the practical studies for this new certification. This demo
covers the configuration of WRED. The full version covers
lots of interesting areas, such as queueing, QoS, and so on.
CCNP ISCW Challenge [Click
here - D18]. UNIQUE FEATURE! The new CCNP certification
related to ISCW (Implementing Secure Converged Wide-Area Networks
- 642-825) has just been released. Networksims contains a
full coverage of the practical studies for this new certification.
This demo covers the configuration of Crytolists. The full
version covers lots of interesting areas, such as crypto functions,
IPS, and so on.
Exercises [Click
here - D2]. In this demo there are three routers,
in a ring topology. It involves defining the key details on
each of the devices, such as their IP address and routing
protocol, such that, at the end, the devices should be able
to communicate with each other. A key factor is that they
should be able to ping each other once the details have been
set. Each time the challenge is run it gives a new set of
challenge parameters, each of which should work.
Topology [Click
here - D3]. This demo relates to the topology
option in which there are four routers, in a ring topology
with a backup route. The topology allows the user to practice
their configurations. There are no details defined devices,
and the user can enter whichever details are required.
Set Complete [Click
here - D4]. This demo relates to the Set Complete
option, using Tolopology 4, in which there are three routers
in a star formation, and three hosts. It creates a completed
setup, so that the user can debug using ping and tracert to
determine if the system is working correctly.
CCNP (Adv Routing/BSCI) [Click
here - D5]. This demo relates to the first challenge
of the CCNP BSCI certification in which a DHCP pool is setup
on the device. Each time the challenge is run it gives a new
set of challenge parameters.
Fault-finding [Click
here - D6]. UNIQUE FEATURE! This demo relates
to the fault-finding challenges, where a random fault is placed
on a defined topology, and the user must find it. If required
the solution can be shown at any time. Each time the challenge
is run it gives a new set of challenge parameters.Other faults

Cisco Wireless Aironet 1200 [Click
here - W1]. UNIQUE FEATURE! This demo relates
to the configuration of an Aironet 1200 Wireless Access Point,
using the last two major versions of the Aironet IOS. Each
time the challenge is run it gives a new set of challenge
parameters. Other demos are at:

Cisco PIX/ASA Simulator [Click
here - P1]. UNIQUE FEATURE! This demo relates
to the configuration of a PIX/ASA device, for most of its
significant features. It covers all of the CCSP requirements,
along with covering PIX V6.x and V7.x. Each time the challenge
is run it gives a new set of challenge parameters. Other demos
are at:
[Click

[Click
here (V7)- P3]
[Click
here (V6)- P4]
[Click
here (V7)- P5]
[Click
here (V7)- P14]
Switch challenge [Click
here - D9]. In this demo involves setting up
basic details on the Ethernet ports on the switch, and also
defining CDP. Each time the challenge is run it gives a new
set of challenge parameters. The switch supports both Layer
2 and Layer 3 activities.
Security challenge [Click
here - D11]. The simulators follow the CCSP certification,
along with challenges that are useful in day-to-day activities.
These challenges relate to security for routers, firewalls,
and switches.
Host challenge [Click
here - D10]. This demo shows the configuration
of a Windows host for it's network details, and for the testing
of the details with IPCONFIG and IPCONFIG/ALL. Each time the
challenge is run it gives a new set of challenge parameters.
Using HELP [Click
here - D15]. This demo shows the help available
through the e-Book with the simulators.
Activities [Click
here - D16]. Often studying through certification
material can be a little boring after a while, so Networksims
has a whole lot of activities which can lighten the burden
of study. This one involves using an IP Calculator to determine
the number of subnets and avaliable hosts for given IP classificaitons
and subnet masks. The following shows the placement of host
and network IP addresses around a defined network:
