CCNA Network Simulator with Visualizer

CertExams.com CCNA Netsim with network visualizer comes with hundreds of lab exercises for hands-on practice. Using the simulator, one will be able to run the commands similar to that of real router network. It is possible to telnet, ping, or trace route remote devices.

The visualizer enables one to design one's own network using Cisco routers and switches. Though there is no limit on the number of devices that could be used, for practical purpose, it should be limited to less than 10 hops.

SimulationExams Releases CCENT 100-101 practice tests


SimulationExams.com, a practice tests provider, has recently released Cisco CCENT practice tests. CCENT cert, awarded by Cisco, has recently been updated from older objectives (640-822) to newer version (100 101 exam). For candidates aspiring for CCENT (CCNA ICND1) certification, CertExams.com CCENT Exam Sim provides an excellent simulated exam environment. The advantages of using CCNA exam simulator include the following:

The package consists of 300 questions in 3+ tests with:
- Drag-n-drop questions
- Simlet and Testlet type of questions
- Network simulation questions
- Single choice multiple answer, and
- Multiple choice single answer questions

Probably, this is the only practice exam that provides complete range of CCENT question types including simlets and simulations.

The exam objectives covered by CCEMT certification include the following:

1. IP v4 and IP v6 network addressing
2. Switching using layer-2 and layer-3 switches
3. Traffic control using access control lists
4. Variable length subnet masking,
5. Configure, verify, and troubleshoot basic router operation and routing on Cisco devices
6. Implement and verify simple networks consisting of Cisco switches and routers.

Other products offered by SimulationExams.com include the following:

1. CCNA Network Simulator
2. Juniper Junos Simulator for JNCIA
3. CCNA Exam Simulator

CCENT is a foundation exam for achieving CCNA R&S through two-exam option. Two-exam option consists of CCENT (Cisco Certified Entry Network Technician), and CCNA ICND2. To achieve CCNA, one need to pass either the single exam (CCNA) or both CCENT (also known as CCNA ICND1), and the CCNA ICND2 exams separately. The single exam path is recommended for candidates who have sufficient hands-on experience in LAN/WAN networking. Cisco certifications are generally valid for 3 years, and candidates are expected to renew certifications by taking renewal exam. CCNA is the foundation certification for taking CCDA, CCNP and other professional level exams.
