[c-nsp] Pearson IT Certification's Cisco Network Simulator: how good is the Mac Port?

[Robert Maier]

I wouldn´t spend a penny for a simulator. I would recommend GNS3.Maybe you
can  get IOS from an old 2600 or so ?

If you are a student of cisco netacad, you can download Cisco Packettracer,
but i think it´s only usable with windows. So have to use virtualization or
boot a Windowssystem via Bootcamp.
