CCNA Simulator

Self Test Software has partnered with Gambit Communications to introduce the CCNA Simulator. Gambit's MIMIC Virtual Lab creates a real world lab environment with a network of Cisco Routers and Switches. The CCNA Simulator provides a safe environment to practice without having to worry about bringing down the equipment/network and affecting other users.


The CCNA Simulator ::

• Helps beginners interested in familiarizing themselves with the complex environment and intermediate or expert users looking to sharpen their skills and move to a higher level.
• Offers hands-on learning experience without having to buy expensive equipment.
• Gives network engineers the ability to practice for CCNA and other certifications instead of just reading instructions.
• Enables training organizations to supply a Virtual lab to students with the classroom training or e-learning courses.
• Lets users interact with Routers and Switches, just like with real devices.
• Includes many exercises and tutorials, including device and lab operations.

Please note that the CCNA Simulator product is not compatible with Windows 7.
