Cisco Press can provide the Cisco Interactive Mentor and I've heard of one by Routersim (but not tried it !)

[vmiller]

is this for training or a real live network ?

take a look at IPAT from WANDL

www.wandl.com

The Boson router simulator is ok for limited training, you might try it, although without knowing how in depth you want to go it's difficult to give you a complete answer. Cisco's Config Maker is also good and it's free.

There are two categories in this. Simulation and emulation.

If you are looking for a simulator, the best one available is Opnet ITGURU from www.opnet.com. However it is very expensive to the tune of $30,000

If you are looking for a emulator for a LAB test environment I would suggest www.ixiacom.com and www.shunra.com

Hope this helps
