CCNA Network Visualizer Editor's Review

'CCNA Network Visualizer Demo' is a virtual laboratory, which helps you design, build, and configure your custom network, so that it would be best suitable for your home or your company's requirements. The very friendly and intuitive interface provides you with tips and all the tools needed to create your own virtual networks. When building a network you can add a device by selecting it from a device list. You can also edit the configuration in the "Net Configs" window, by entering information for every device. In order to enter commands or configure devices you can also use the "Console". If you have trouble creating or editing your devices or connections, refer to the extremely comprehensible Help section or "How do I..." sections, which include not only explanations, but also practical demonstrations of what and how you should get a job done. The device list includes Hosts, 2600 routers, 2950 and 3550 Switches and Net Connect. Net Connect is not available in the demo version and the number of hosts is limited to only 2.

Pluses: The great advantage is that you can create your networks using drag-and-drop. After you're done designing and building your network, you can use "Net Assessment" in order to evaluate the quality of your work. The assessment will be displayed in detailed reports, containing the good and the bad results and an overall grading of the whole project.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: A very good training and assessment tool for CCNA related projects.
