Boson NetSim™ Network Simulator® is an application that simulates Cisco Systems' networking hardware and software and is designed to aid the user in learning the Cisco IOS command structure. Other products simulate scripted labs for the end user's experience, without actually simulating what is really happening within the network. NetSim utilizes Boson's proprietary Network Simulator, Router Simulator® and EROUTER® software technologies along with the Boson Virtual Packet Technology® engine to create individual packets that are routed and switched through the simulated network, allowing NetSim to build an appropriate virtual routing table, and simulate true networking. This technology allows many users of the Boson NetSim to go far beyond the scope of the examples in the included labs.

Boson offers three certification-focused products, NetSim for CCENT 7.0, NetSim for CCNA 7.0 and NetSim for CCNP 7.0. Each supports the technologies and skills you will need for the respective certifications.

Boson NetSim software offers more versatility and support than any other aftermarket software. NetSim software also includes a comprehensive lab menu that contains lessons and labs covering routing protocols, Cisco devices, switching, topological design, and much more.

NetSim for CCNP UPDATE - Boson NetSim for CCNP (version 7.33 released January 26, 2010) contains a number of updates and enhancements aimed at the new CCNP 4.0 requirements and designed to improve the user’s experience. Included in this new release is a newly designed display capability that allows you to view NetSim's extensive number of labs under either the CCNP 3.0 or the revised CCNP 4.0 certification tracks. With just a click of the mouse, you can organize the labs based on BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW and ONT, or based on ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT. If you already own NetSim for CCNP 7, these improvements will be included in your automatic update. 

Based on our assessment of Cisco's new ROUTE, SWITCH and TSHOOT courses, the existing NetSim labs offer extensive coverage of the newly revised CCNP 4.0; however, we have not yet added new material, so it may not be comprehensive. Our NetSim development team is already working on additional content and functionality to cover CCNP 4.0. As Cisco releases the new CCNP exams, we will begin providing new labs in NetSim for CCNP 8.0.

NetSim for CCNP UPGRADE POLICY - Anyone who purchases NetSim for CCNP after January 25, 2010, will be eligible for a free upgrade to NetSim for CCNP 8.0 when it is released. The estimated release date for NetSim for CCNP 8.0 is June 2010.

Testimonial

The package is complete, with the ability to create custom labs and one thing I found truly amazing - a virtual routing table. There is no other package I know of that offers this feature. Add to this the Boson exams for CCNA and you may have the most unbeatable combination..."
