Router Basics

Interactive Simulation Environment CIM Router Basics places you in a simulated network environment without any network connections. You work with virtual Cisco 4500 routers, developing your networking skills without the costly investment in actual network hardware. Each tutorial includes a Telnet session and a network topology that illustrates the network design in each lab exercise, helping you to visualize, verify, and troubleshoot your configurations.

Self-Paced Anytime, Anywhere Learning

You control the pace of learning. You can go through the tutorials and Challenge and Configuration Labs in any order, depending on what you want to learn or practice next. Optional audio and video guides supplement the instructions on screen, and hyperlinks connect you to a glossary and context-sensitive Cisco IOS° software command references. Technical tips reinforce your growing knowledge, quizzes allow you to assess your progress, and network topology diagrams illustrate application of your configuration and troubleshooting methodologies. This robust combination of technology tutorials, simulated lab exercises, descriptive network topologies, audio and video guides, hyperlinked references, and quizzes results in a superior learning product and provides you with what matters most-hands-on networking experience.

CIM Router Basics helps you master the protocols necessary to deploy and manage Cisco routers and is an excellent preparation tool for the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA'M) exam.
