NetSim Network Simulator

Hands-on training without the hardware.

Boson NetSim® software 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® and Router Simulator® 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.

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..."
