Cisco CLI Simulator
Practice real Cisco IOS commands in an interactive terminal with guided labs, a running configuration engine, and a free-form sandbox. No hardware required.
Step-by-Step Labs
126 guided exercises with clear objectives, per-step hints, progress tracking, and completion feedback. Each lab validates your commands in real time.
Sandbox Mode
Free-form CLI exploration with no restrictions. Experiment with any command, explore all 15 modes, and build confidence at your own pace. Always free.
Real Cisco Syntax
Supports prefix abbreviations (sh ip ro = show ip route), case-insensitive input, and flexible interface names like real IOS.
Dynamic Show Commands
25+ show commands build output from live router state — show running-config reflects your actual changes, not a static template.
Tab Completion & Help
Tab autocompletes commands, ? shows context-sensitive help, and arrow keys navigate command history — just like a real console.
Running Config Engine
Maintains live state for interfaces, routes, ACLs, DHCP pools, NAT, and more. Your configuration changes persist across commands within each session.
