Decent CISCO routing simulation?
Is there any CISCO routing / networking topology emulation sw out there? I'd like to find something that lets me graphically "drag and drop" a few 2900's, a few 3560's, maybe a PIX or an ASA or 2 and then "log into them", configure routing, and then test connectivity and routing. Maybe using PING and TRACEROUTE to verify routes and traffic flow.

You can kind of emulate a switch in GNS3 by adding a switching module to a 3600 or 3700 series "router."
Here is what features are missing http://www.gns3.net/phpBB/topic229.html and here is a write up about exactly how to set this up http://www.blindhog.net/gns3-how-to-build-a-switching-lab/
