By giving you access to real VM images, Cisco Modeling Labs returns results faster, more easily, and for a fraction of the cost compared to using real-world labs. Plus, you’ll save time and effort in finding compatible and authorized images for Cisco network operating systems, such as IOS, IOS-XE, NX-OS, and IOS-XR.
Practice real-world networking scenarios, using real-world tools
Cisco Modeling Labs is an on-premises network simulation tool that runs on workstations and servers and allows you to quickly and easily simulate Cisco or multi-vendor networks.
Adapt and test your simulated networks to accommodate new requirements or changes in design for any network environment, from small offices to large enterprises. Work out problems and try different configurations before deploying them in a live network to reduce the risk of causing disruptions or outages.
Practice configuration and troubleshooting tasks in a realistic environment—on your own time, from your home office. It’s the ideal setup for invaluable hands-on learning and certification preparation.
The Cisco Modeling Labs API lets you automate your simulations and connect to external networks.
Help students reach their career or training goals [faster | in less time]. Cisco Modeling Labs lets you run network simulations remotely, so students can learn from instructors’ processes, and then practice on their own.
