Dynamips - The single greatest network tool ever
If there was ever a network tool that I feel every Cisco engineer should have at their disposal, it would be Dynamips. Dynamips is a piece of software that runs as a server on your Unix, Mac or Windows machine. You write text-based configuration files using Dynagen, and it loads up those configurations using an actual IOS image. That’s right - it runs an actual IOS binary on emulated hardware, unlike most simulators out there that only emulate IOS software.
I highly recommend visiting their website, as well as this forum which is an excellent place to get support. You can also read a tutorial for getting started with Dynamips and Dynagen here. Oh, and we’re always around on IRC. Visit #cisco on irc.freenode.net, where you will find me (IPv6Freely) as well as the creator of Dynamips, cfilliot.
