CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator 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 98 structured labs designed to help you learn by doing, which is the most effective method of learning.
Experience realistic network device response as you work through each of the labs, which include detailed instructions, topology diagrams, hints, and full solutions. Unlike other simulators on the market, the lab scenarios included in the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator are far more complex, challenging you to learn how to perform realistic network configuration and troubleshooting tasks.
CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is available only as a download, and is a subset of the CCNA 640-802 Network Simulator, covering all the ICND1 topics.

“I must complement your company for the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator product. I have really enjoyed working with it as I have prepared for my ICND 1 Exam. I have not only taken the structured lab, but have expanded my studies with each provided configuration with great success. I was impressed that the environment was not restricted to the intended subject matter and allowed me to change the configurations with usually good results. I may have ran into a few issues where MAC Address Tables did not update with improvised configurations or the simulator crashed after I performed a reload of the routers following a saved changed. But, this product will be the single biggest reason I pass my exam next week. I have never been happier with any educational product that I have purchased.”

Presentation (8/10) - This GUI is light years better than the old Boson network simulators. You won't have any problems trying to figure out what you need to do. I would have preferred the option to adjust the size of the window.
Content (10/10) - I am amazed as to how much work went into this product. When you start doing the labs and see all the tasks listed in the PDF document for that lab, you will know what I mean. Expect to be an IOS guru if you take the time to go through each lab in its entirety.
Practicality (10/10) - Wow, can you say hundreds of hours with hands-on experience. There is plenty of labs to keep you busy and challenged for a long time! When using this product, you will forget that you're using a simulator!
Shelf Appeal (4/5) - I have a feeling people starting with their CCNA will keep this installed on their PC for a while. If you forget how to configure something like RIP, it’s only a few clicks away!
Value (5/5) - For what you would spend to buy one router on ebay, you could have bought this product. At around 75 dollars US, you can’t go wrong for the price. Oh, did I mention that they have a special where you get all the ICND 2 labs included for the same price! That’s probably a total of around 200+ labs!
Overall (Serious Ownage 9/10) - This is an amazing structured approach to doing CCNA labs. You have your network diagram, your lists of tasks for the lab, what else do you need? Sure you can build your own lab, but are you going to create your own labs to do? Somebody at the CCNA level should be using this simulator because it’s going to focus your time where it counts. You have hundreds of hours of labs to do with the product so set a few weeks aside.
