MIMIC Virtual Lab - Enterprise

MIMIC Virtual Lab - Cisco

Java Powered

MIMIC Virtual Lab creates a real world lab environment with a network of Cisco Routers and Switches. It gives hands-on learning experience without buying expensive equipment.

MIMIC Virtual Lab is for beginners interested in familiarizing themselves with the complex environment and for intermediate or expert users looking to sharpen their skills and move to a higher level. It gives a safe environment to practice. You don't have to worry about bringing down the equipment/network and affecting other users.

MIMIC gives Network Engineers an ability to practice for certifications instead of just reading instructions. It enables Training organization to give a lab to students with the classroom training or e-learning courses. Students can interact with Routers and Switches, just like with real devices.

The Lab

MIMIC Virtual Lab GUI with simulated network

Interact with the routers and switches, just like real devices:

  • Network of 11 devices
  • Cisco Routers (2501, 2524, 4500 and 7531)
  • Cisco Switches (2916, 3548)
  • Five end systems
  • LAN, WAN and Serial links

    Users can Telnet in to any of these devices from local or remote machines as if they are connecting to real devices. Any number of users can connect at a time. It fully supports Cisco IOS® software and SNMPv1, v2, v2c, v3.

    Device Operations

  • Logging in/out
  • Get into and out of different modes - User, Privileged, Configuration, Interface
  • Set passwords, IP addresses, clock rates, hostname, bandwidth
  • Assign routing protocols - RIP, IGRP
  • Ping other devices on the network
  • Save/load configurations
  • Boot using flash or TFTP protocol
  • Configuration of CDP, PPP, Frame Relay and OSPF protocols
  • and many other fuctions required for certifications

    Lab Operations

  • Start/Stop devices, individually or in a group
  • Save/Load a configuration of the network
  • View configuration information of a device or the entire network
  • Troubleshoot
  • View the topology with connections and addresses
  • Open Telnet sessions
  • Context sensitive help

    You can also discover and configure using Cisco Network Management applications such as CiscoWorks, CiscoWorks 2000, CiscoView and CEMF (CDM, GSR Manager), just like real devices. All the changes done using IOS are visible via management applications and vice versa.

    If you are interested in creating your own devices and topology, MIMIC Simulator tool kit is also available. You can simulate as many as 10,000 devices in a lab. It includes MIMIC Recorder to record Cisco devices to help create the lab topology you need.
