Question

Where can i find Cisco Router simulators to enhance my learning curve?

Answer 1

Not sure.

I know some companies have "product firmware emulators" on their product pages.  I think Linksys, D-Link, or Netgear had one I played with for a print-server one time.  Don't remember which one though.

Answer 2

In the past I used a program called Boson NetSim.  It worked great.  You can add devices (routers/switches/PCs) select the connections to each (Eth, Frame Relay, ATM, etc)  You can ping between the devices and do all kinds of stuff.  It's honestly just like setting up a network.  It's a really cool program.
