NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 16, 2002--Gambit Communications, a
leading network simulation tools provider, today announced the availability
of MIMIC(R) Virtual Lab for Cisco(R) (NASDAQ: CSCO) for training centers and
network engineers. MIMIC offers hands-on experience in a simulated network
environment consisting of the routers and switches required for Cisco
certification exams. This unique product allows training centers to provide
reduced-cost training in the classroom, or virtually over the internet. It
provides an effective environment for beginners to become familiar with the
complex environment and for intermediate or expert users to sharpen the
skills and move to a higher level.
"MIMIC Virtual Lab has an unbelievable value for Cisco certifications
and training organizations," said George Churchwell, President of Tech2000
and a Cisco Learning partner. "It dramatically reduces the cost of a lab and
provides realistic simulations."
"As an 'on-demand' learning tool, the MIMIC Virtual Lab represents a
realistic and highly scalable alternative to physical laboratory equipment,"
says Dennis Griffin, CCSI, CCNP, one of Tech2000's instructors. "While the
benefits to students preparing for certification exams are obvious, the real
benefit is accessibility to a proficiency tool which can be continuously
changed as the user's needs change. This is simply prohibitive without
simulation technologies such as MIMIC."
MIMIC Virtual Lab for Cisco consists of a simulated network of Cisco
routers, switches and end systems. Some of the features include:
-- Lab with extensive free-form configuration
-- Hundreds of router commands, including all the shortcut
commands and edit keys
-- Use IOS command in all modes (User, Privileged, Configuration,
Interface)
-- Access the devices using Telnet from the GUI or from anywhere
on the network like a real device, locally or remotely
-- View the topology map with connections and addresses
-- Start or stop any device individually or in a group
-- View the individual device or the entire topology
configuration information
-- Save the current configuration and reload it anytime
-- Troubleshoot by retracing the commands from the log
-- Protocols supported -Telnet, Cisco IOS, SNMPv1, SNMPv2, SNMPv3
