Summary: 6 devices total?
Review: A Router Simulator needs to have more than 6 devices if you want to really practice anything. This is a good basic simulator for the INTRO material but does not do much of anything to prepare you for the ICND or CCNP material.

Summary: Software will not run
Review: After trying three different CD's I gave up. My system is more than the min required. I could not get the cd-rom to run. I veven contacted Sybex via e-mail. They were helphful, however nothing helped.

Summary: Specific and not clear configuration needed
Review: As a lab, i didn't have the oportuniti to know if it was good, as nobody in the company could answer why two different CD's were failing in the execution of the program.
Only i have to say, unless you verify first that you have the right configuration (and that's something that you will have to find out by yourself when you buy the product, as the configuration shown in the box is not enough) it's better not to waist your time on this product.

Summary: Best Lab Out There
Review: I bought the first edition and it was average, with some bugs. The Gold Edition is much better, has the bugs ironed out and the labs are pretty useful. It's expensive though, when a couple of hundred more would get you a new 800 series CISCO router, or a secondhand 1700 series one.

Summary: More to be desired
Review: I did not by Todd Lammle's book. Fortunately, or unfortunately, I purchased another book for study before I realized I would need access to routers to pass this test. Unable to afford real routers I purchased through Amazon this product hoping to get the experience I needed to pass the CCNA test. The book I use assumes I have access to a real router. When I try the commands about 25% of them fail using this simulator. This product may get me through the CCNA exam, but it ain't simulating the real thing.

Summary: Prospective CCNA
Review: I found this to be a useful tool, but it has many annoying operational "anomalies". I went to the Sybex website for program updates, but none exist. I called Sybex tech support, and there are no fixes, and they have no plans to release any. For the price of the product, the length of time it has been out (over a year), and the publisher's resources, the product support is poor.

Summary: Quite Good But Some Annoying Faults
Review: I got this as part of a CCNA course so that we can practice at home. For most practice labs used in the Sybex Book by Todd Lammle it is quite adequate. However given the expensive price of this it irks me no end that one of the biggest problems is with the help and the autocompletion with tab on the cisco router. Often you press a command such as log? and it will only show a couple of the options or say ambiguous command. I think this a big failing considering that people using it are learners. You definitely need to use a real router as well

Summary: Great Learning Tool
Review: I highly recommend this software program to learn about CICSO routers and Swithces! However, I have seen other emulator packages that have 1 or 2 more router/switches in their package. So investigate before you buy!

Summary: The simulator pales in comparison to the Cisco Press one
Review: I try to be open minded about products, but I think the only reason this product has been popular uis because there was no competition out there. Now that cisco press has released their new CCNA book with NetSim in it, I can't see any value to this far inferior product.
