Self-studying for the CCNA certification can be a daunting task. The amount of information a CCNA candidate is required to know and the skills that candidate is required to possess are quite extensive. Where to start?
Step number one is to determine which resources you will use. You will want to get a book to provide a good understanding of the concepts required for the CCNA and to give yourself a good source of reference. Major publishers, such as McGraw-Hill, Sybex, and Cisco Press, all have quality books covering the CCNA. Head to the bookstore and see which you like best. The next step is the big one. How do you get the practical, hands-on knowledge of routing and switching to build on the theoretical knowledge you got from your book? In the self-study arena, there are two primary options: acquire real equipment or purchase a network simulator. (NOTE: Many people will also argue that router emulators are a third option. While many choose that option, it is a violation of Cisco’s license agreement to run their IOS on anything other than the hardware it is licensed for. Accordingly, I don’t recommend or discuss this option since it requires a copyright violation and is illegal. Just because you or I don’t agree with Cisco’s licensing model doesn’t make it OK to steal from them.) Let’s compare the advantages and disadvantages of each......

I had a chance to talk to a customer on the telephone this week who was planning to teach a CCNA 640-802 class to students located around the country. His plan was to use laptops configured with NetSim for CCNA in the classroom so that he did not have to transport bulky Cisco equipment.

There are many ways to learn technology for your certification exam. You can read books, attend training classes and get actual experience. But even with all that knowledge, do you really know if you can pass the certification exam? Not really. With ExSim-Max™ practice exams, you will know what to expect when you are ready for the real exam.

Boson NetSim™ Network Simulator® is an application that simulates Cisco Systems' networking hardware and software and is designed to help you learn the Cisco IOS command structure. That alone is pretty cool, but it gets better. NetSim uses its Virtual Packet Technology® engine to create individual packets that are routed and switched through the simulated network, to build an appropriate virtual routing table and to simulate true networking. NetSim doesn't just look like a real network, it acts like one too -- same telnet window, same shortcut commands, same hands-on experience.
