I've used both simulators from the sites you referred to ... and though they give a little exposure, I found for the most part that they still were lame. 30-40% of the commands that the tutorials tell you to give in the simulator don't actually work. And you get a verrry limited help on only the commands that the tutorial session is covering. If you wanted to query help for a command in a previous lab simulation, your S.O.L.... it doesn't allow it.
A personal gripe for the Switching CIM: It doesn't cover MLS :( I would expect this to be a more important topic of the subject than configuring Multicast. How many Small to Medium networks do you see using Multicast (I know I haven't)... How many Small to Medium networks do you see using MLS.... (I've seen at least a couple of those). But... you are quite correct... Nothing beats the real equipment! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Andy Barkl Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 12:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: The CCNA exam has changed effective 3-12-02 [7:37960] Why would the exam simulator give you the help option? And you should always remember the full command. The simulators from www.CiscoPress.com and www.RouterSim.com do support the help command and abbreviated commands. But nothing beats real equipment. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of sam sneed Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The CCNA exam has changed effective 3-12-02 [7:37960] I tried the simulation and it makes you type out every single command. No abreviations and no "?" allowed. Thats is retarded. If there going to make their simulation they should do it right, it is their software they're simulating. I'd like to see anyone doing any half decent config without using tab completion or "?". My thoughts are that its a great idea, and should be applied to the CCNP too, but the simulation should be as accurate as possible.If they're going to be half-assed about it don't do it at all.
