Product Features
MIMIC gives Network Engineers the ability to practice for CCNA and other certifications instead of just reading instructions. It enables Training organizations to supply a Virtual lab to students with the classroom training or e-learning courses. Students can interact with Routers and Switches, just like with real devices.
The Lab
Interact with the routers and switches, just like real devices:
Network of 7 devices
Cisco Routers (2811, 3640 and 7206)
Four Cisco Switches (2950, 3550 (2) and 6500)
A large set of IOS Commands for Router and Switch operations
LAN, WAN, ISDN and Serial links
Ability to Reconfigure the lab
