Four Kinds of Labs:
The CCNA 200-301 Network Simulator is a single-user software package. It helps you develop and improve hands-on configuration and troubleshooting skills without the investment in expensive lab hardware. This state-of-the-art, interactive simulation software enables you to practice your networking skills with more than 300 structured labs designed to help you learn by doing, the most effective method of learning. Experience realistic network device responses as you perform each lab, which include detailed instructions, topology diagrams, critical-thinking questions, hints, and answers. Working through the labs, you will quickly become proficient with all the common Cisco IOS version 15 router and switch commands on the CCNA exam. Unlike other simulators on the market, the lab scenarios included in the CCNA 200-301 Network Simulator are far more complex, challenging you to learn how to perform real-world network configuration and troubleshooting tasks. Master the hands-on skills needed to succeed on the CCNA exam, including:
Skill Builders: These 175+ labs are narrowly focused, enabling you to practice your configuration skills on a single topic. Coverage includes:
Subnetting Exercises: These 80 labs help you to perform subnetting calculations quickly and accurately, a critical skill for success on the CCNA exam. Topics covered include:
Configuration Scenarios: These 40+ labs are more broadly focused, combining multiple technologies into configuration scenarios that mimic real-world environments. These labs are longer and more complex, challenging you to put your configuration skills to the test. Topics covered include:
Troubleshooting Scenarios: These 18 labs present typical troubleshooting scenarios and require you to explore the misconfigured network, isolate the issues, and correct the problems. These are very complicated and realistic scenarios that truly test your ability to perform the job of a network engineer. Topics covered include:
