started recently (August 2005) a project to emulate a Cisco 7200 on a traditionnal PC. This kind of emulator would be useful to: * Check that an IOS version is working properly and can be deployed safely on a production network, * Be used as a training platform, with software used in real world. It would allow people to become more familiar with Cisco devices.
a cool project to boot a 7200 IOS image on x86: For those of us who can't afford a 7200, and / or have girlfriends who don't think that a 7200 fits nicely in the living room, this is a project to track :) Cisco 7200 Simulator |
