CCNA cert

[rbutturini at epictn.com (Russell Butturini)]

One thing to keep in mind with GNS3 is you have to have access to the
IOS images to use it (aka SmartNet or a router you can grab images off
of).  If you have  them though it is quite good; I used it in all my
CCNA and CCSP exam prep.  It can actually emulate a Pix as well. I've
also got documentation on setting an IDS 4215 appliance up in VMWare,
but haven't had time to try it yet.

My instructor recommended this, I haven't tried it yet but he said it
was very good.

Something I'd like to see, don't know if it exists or not, is the
ability to plug the virtual devices into a normal network in the way
you can do with virtual machines in vmware. I'm thinking of creating a
virtual Pix then putting it on the network to play with it in a real
environment.
