Practice Scenarios - Studying for Cisco® CCNA® exam is challenging. Trying to figure out which exam topics to study for is difficult. RouterSim assists you by providing Practice Scenarios. We have designed our practice scenarios based on CCNA® exam topics. Testing yourself with our practice scenarios will give you the confidence needed in preparing for the Cisco® CCNA® exam. After you go through accumulative and/or Individual labs you can test your problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. In the lab documentation we present Practice Scenarios which are interspersed in the lab documentation. With these scenarios you are presented with partially or incorrectly configured networks and your task is to read the instructions and correct the situation.  These are gradable labs.

They can be found in two places on our menu tree. They are interspersed among the accumulative labs. After you read about a concept and go through hands-on lab(s), you are then presented with a practice scenario that tests your problem-solving and troubleshooting skills. They can also be found in their own section so that you can quickly choose any of the labs, instead of hunting for them in the accumulative labs.

Net Assessment - This feature allows you to test and evaluate your CCNA® problem-solving and trouble shooting network skills. RouterSim has created a powerful and flexible tool for all to use, including teachers, students, individuals, etc. You can grade yourself or if you are an instructor, you can grade your students. There are eight labs that walk you through an example in utilizing Net Assessment. Net Assessment also provides you with more sophisticated and powerful methods in altering values. That is covered in seven additional labs.

SWITCH® Labs - Twenty-five SWITCH® labs are available to study in preparing for the Cisco® SWITCH® exam.

ROUTE® Labs - Thirty ROUTE® labs are available to study in preparing for the Cisco® ROUTE® exam.

TSHOOT® Labs - Twelve TSHOOT® labs are available to study in preparing for the Cisco® TSHOOT® exam.

Accumulative Labs - We provide step-by-step labs that, for the most part, build on each other. Fourteen different network layouts are presented within these labs. When you start working with a new section and encounter a new network layout, you are asked to save your work. It is suggested that you save your network layout with another name so that you always have a non-configured network to fall back on. An example would be saving the original network layout, Standard Layout, as My Standard Layout.

Custom Labs - With CCNP® Network Visualizer 8.0, you can create your own labs. You can then make your labs available for others to use. They will appear off the main menu of the Network Visualizer screen. You can also imbed instructions into your labs/network. Use a third-party program to create instructions. This can be a text editor, word processor, HTML editor, spread sheet program, etc.

Please Note: We do not guarantee that our simulator will coincide with any book or set of videos on the market. We highly suggest that you only use the material from our labs while creating and configuring networks.  Furthermore, we only support the commands found within the hands on labs and from no other source
