The simulators contain all recent and new
version of the CCNP certification, and are
continually adding new features and challenges.
A key focus of the CCNP certification is now
on security and Quality of Service (QoS),
and this part of the simuators focuses on
CCNP ISCW which investigates security for
routers and switches. The simulator has over
62 challenges related to this. A demo of the
system is at:

These challenges provide a strong foundation
in areas such as tunnelling, VPN configuration,
while providing fundemental knowledge in key
areas such as in encryption and authentication.
