Opinions wanted on simulators!

[garyp]

I am thinking about sitting the CCNA this year, and want to get as much exposure to routers as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have 3600 series and 800 series at work but as these are 'live' I can't really mess around with them too much!!&nbsp;&nbsp;I am looking at router simulation s/w as a possible alternative and would appreciate any views on the from people who have used them (ideally for the same purpose as I want to).&nbsp;&nbsp;Or does anyone know of any good cheap routers (2500 series) for sale or web sites etc that sell second-hand ones.<br>Thanks

2 Types of Simulators I seen so far <br>1. Tutorial your asked to set up ex.Frame Relay and away you go telnet from router to rouyter to set up the specific config <br>2.{one I recommend} where you have 3 simulated routers and can set up whatever you want where and when ever <br>I only used completely the first type which bored me after <br>But for you id suggest the first type then look for the outher type when you complete it and can do the whole set of exercises in one sit in <br>good luck <br>A+ MSCS CCNA <br>LordCisco
