I wouldn´t spend a penny for a simulator. I would recommend GNS3.Maybe you can get IOS from an old 2600 or so ?
If you are a student of cisco netacad, you can download Cisco Packettracer, but i think it´s only usable with windows. So have to use virtualization or boot a Windowssystem via Bootcamp. 2011/1/4 Sven Aluoor <[email protected]> > Hi folks > > I need to take the CCENT (and later CCNA) exam for school.
