The only bigger disappointment after the Boson Network Simulator I could have was to expect any network simulator to be worthwhile. The Pearson Certification CCNA 640-802 Network Simulator on CD ROM had some great reviews. I want to be upfront with everyone, if you’re looking for a technical review at how accurate this simulator is or not, this isn’t it. This is from a student perspective trying to gather materials studying for his CCNA exams.

First thing out of the box impression is that it’s pretty cool. But after the first couple of minutes, pretty cool turned into WTF? Every router and switch is password protected. Not only the equipment, but to get to enable mode, a password is required. Really? On a simulator? Every single muthr freakin time? Really? I can’t resize the window? I can slide the divider between windows, but can’t resize the entire window. Can’t maximize it, make it smaller or resize the program at all? WTF?
