Troubleshooting a production network can be a frightening and frustrating experience. Fortunately, you
can
create a virtual copy of your network with the Cisco CCNA Network Designer, and troubleshoot
the problems without taking down the network.
In summary, the Cisco CCNA Network Simulator is a flexible and powerful product that can help you
become certified, and can aid in the design and troubleshooting of complex networks.
An Overview of Using the Cisco CCNA Network Simulator
to Prepare for CCNA Certification
The Cisco CCNA certification requires you to learn and master a number of skills. In this next section we
will discuss how to incorporate the Cisco CCNA Network Simulator as part of the learning process and
how you can successfully complete the CCNA certification track by using the Cisco CCNA Network
Simulator
One of the most common ways to use the Cisco CCNA Network Simulator is in conjunction with a book
or in an instructor led class. For this example, we will assume that you are using a book or studying from
the Cisco published objectives. Basically, learning Cisco routers involve two fundamental tasks; learning
and mastering the theory of routers and switches, and the hands-on practical implementation of that
theory by configuring the routers in a network and testing them in the lab.
The theory portion of the education can be taught by reading books or listening to an instructor. The
purpose of the Cisco CCNA Network Simulator is to help you with the practical hands-on portion of your
education, and ensures that you not only understand the concepts of routing, but can actually configure
and implement routing on Cisco devices. Once you feel you have mastered both the theory and the
practical labs, you can test your knowledge using one of the Boson Practice Tests available at
http://www.boson.com which support and contain the industry’s newest testing methods of asking
hands-on lab questions, drag and drop questions, and other simulation questions, where appropriate.
The Cisco CCNA Network Simulator is the most comprehensive product on the market for learning how
to configure a Cisco router. The Cisco CCNA Network Simulator will not only help you become CCNA
certified, but will actually help you learn and understand how to configure routers, switches, and
networks.
