Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Accessible network simulator

Hi Sean. Thanks for your answer, and great news. Would I need a dynamips only or a dynagen for using these configs too? And what about Networkbench program: I heard, that it's text-mode network simulator, which could work for me... But I don't know is it worth of running Linux virtual machine and trying compilation... http://netlab.gmu.edu/networkbench/ Greetings, Greg. W dniu 08.12.2015 04:14, Sean Murphy napisał/a:

Scott, is correct. Some how the auto spell checker changed it and I missed it in my post. do a search for it.

The program runs on a Mac and windows. You run a virtual machine first. Then you load the configuration that you build. You build the configuration in a text file that flinks the switches and routers together. Once the config is loaded, you connect to the switch or router via a telnet session. It can simulate frame relay. Basically all it allows you to do is to configure the frame-relay on the router and passes the relevant info to the other router. Be aware, you do not get full switch functionality but do get all router functionality at a CCNA and CCNP level. People have done their CCIE with this solution.

Once you find the application, I can provide sample configs. But cannot provide the images to run.

I believe and could be wrong here it’s Dynamaps and not dynamics but I’m more than happy to be corrected. The Dynamaps package is a power PC emulator used to run IOS images.

Thank you all for the replies. Sean, could you clarify a bit more the Dynamics and IOS solution? Maybe some link as starting point would be helpfull if possible. Searching for dynamics ios cisco, dynamic ios, and so on gives me different things, but nothing useful, e.g. how to make user interfaces for IOS 7, ios activity tracker for Dynamics CRM and so on....

Also I didn't understand the sentence: Do a s search on the net.

All,

dynamics is the only alternative solution. The only draw back is that you need to get access to the iOS images that it supports. Do a s search on the net.

Hi,

Unfortunately, Packet Tracer is completely inaccessible. If you rely on a screen reader, you can pretty much forget about using it, unless you have very good sighted assistance. I know this sounds harsh, but it's the unfortunate truth. As far as alternatives are concerned, I found the same as you. In other words, there don't seem to be any easy to use alternatives. I'd say that your best bet is going to be to get a hold of some actual Cisco equipment, if possible. You may not have access to enough equipment to do all labs, but some is certainly better than none. The only good resource I know of with regard to Cisco as a blind or visually impaired person in general is CAVI. There web sight can be found at the following link. http://www.ciscovision.org/

Hope that helps.

Hello. Due to my study classes, I faced an interesting problem, which is inaccessibility of Cisco Packet Tracer, and lack of any accessible alternative as far as I investigated it. But, possibly somebody can suggest something about it: Is any way of enabling accessibility in Packet tracer, and constructing networks there? Maybe some other software is available to accomplish simulation of basic networks conssisting of few routers, some computers, switches and DHCP server? Probably something script-driven and working in console mode, or dumping textual results into file? I found a NS-3 simulator, but at the moment, didn't go deep in it, because I'm not sure if it'll work for me.

Greetings, Greg.
