RE: CCIE Lab - Boson Router Simulator [7:66367]
I just wanted to let you know that I purchased the Boson Router Simulator when I was preparing for my CCNP exams. Looking back, I feel it was certainly not worth the investment. I thought that this may save me some money over buying a couple of routers on eBay, but I would have been better off with the routers. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was wrong with the simulator. Things as simple as configuring a P-P Frame Relay circuit. I was never able to get frame-relay to activate. Some IP routes would not refresh correctly until a different routing protocol was loaded and unloaded. I could go into more detail, but I do not think it is necessary. Then I would have to document these issues and send them on to tech support and wait a day or so for a response. It seemed to slow me down in my progress. Do not get me wrong, the simulator is a good idea (I think if you are trying to get your CCNA). For the complex scenarios we have to learn for the CCNP or CCIE, there is no replacement other than a network of actual routers. Hope this helps!

RE: CCIE Lab - Boson Router Simulator [7:66367]
I looked into the simulator... but there were not a great deal of CCIE labs AT ALL... but that was the demo I was looking at and they are constantly updating the software... but for instance BGP was unsupported need I say more? LOL... again... they may support it now and it would be nice of them to do so.. because its not a BAD product... you can TOTALLY design a lab how you want it 11 routers (whichever series u want) and whatever kinda switches u want... but limited on the protocol support side... if they've fixed that it would be great. the version I saw just wasn't THERE yet. are you looking into for the written also or just the lab? just my 2cents. -- ThaCoolest, CCNP, CCIE wannabe .Johan Bornman wrote: > > Any experience with this? > > How close to the real thing is Boson's Router Simulator for the > CCIE Lab? > Does the software allow me to cover all aspects of the blue > print for the CCIE lab? > > Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=66387&t=66367 -- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CCIE Lab - Boson Router Simulator [7:66367]
Any experience with this? How close to the real thing is Boson's Router Simulator for the CCIE Lab? Does the software allow me to cover all aspects of the blue print for the CCIE lab?
