How about being able to load IOS into a “virtual router” for your training and study purposes? That would be pretty cool right? Read on…..

Check out the following link:

From the authors blurb:

“Dynamips is a Cisco router emulator written by Christophe Fillot. It emulates 2691, 3620, 3640, 3660, 3725, 3745, and 7206 hardware platforms, and runs standard IOS images. In Chris’ own words:

This kind of emulator would be useful to:

· Be used as a training platform, with software used in real world. It would allow people to become more familiar with Cisco devices, Cisco being the world leader in networking technologies

· Test and experiment features of Cisco IOS

· Check quickly configurations to be deployed later on real routers.

Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router, it is simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA/CCNP/CCIE exams.”

I’m sure you will agree, this could be a life saver for those of you studying for CCNA or maybe higher
