Boson Netsim Le Functionality and Supported Commands
Boson NetSim LE has been specifically designed to support several labs from this book.
What that means is that the exact commands required for those labs indeed work, but
commands that aren't required for those labs aren't supported in the product.
This can be observed in interesting ways, all the way down to the Cisco router and
Catalyst switch command line interface (or, “CLI” for short) level. For example, there
are several different ways to configure a Cisco router to perform a save of its
configuration data:
Method #1: The newer (or “modern”) CLI command, “Copy Run Start”, performs a save
of the Cisco router’s configuration data. This CLI command is well documented in
modern Cisco courseware, and is the currently recommended method.
Method #2: The older (or “legacy”) CLI command, “Write Mem”, performs an identical
save of the same Cisco router’s configuration data. While this CLI command may still
work, it is no longer documented in current Cisco courseware, and is no longer
recommended.
The Boson NetSim™ LE (or Learning Edition) software product, as provided on the
CDROM within the CCNA INTRO and CCNA ICND (640-8xxx series) books, simulates
only those newer, or more modern, Cisco recommended and documented commands.
If you're having difficulty getting a supported lab to work, you might benefit
from reading over the list of commands that Boson NetSim LE supports in each lab. For
your convenience, a complete listing of all modern commands that are enabled for
completing the included labs (that are documented as enabled in the printed books) are
listed below.
Also note that Boson NetSim LE doesn't let you make as many mistakes as a real router
or switch - for instance, using a different subnet mask than the lab requires will be
rejected by NetSim. The list of commands includes the full syntax of the commands,
so you can compare the commands you're typing to what NetSim is expecting. The list
of commands are a direct pull of what the software is expecting.
INTRO Commands
The following 92 commands are supported by the Boson NetSim LE for the labs in the
CCNA INTRO Exam Certification Guide.

Difference between CCNA 2.0 material and the new ICND/INTRO material
One big difference is the inclusion of the 2950 switches these switches still run on the
Cisco IOS but the command line syntax is a little different. For example on the 1912
Catalyst to configure a vlan you would use the following set of commands:
Switch>enable
Switch#config t
Switch(config)#vlan 12 name cisco
On the new Catalyst 2950 switches the command structure is a little different. Now you
type:
Switch>enable
Switch#vlan database
Switch(vlan)#vlan 12 name cisco
Notice there is a completely new mode most of you are not familiar with. This mode is
the vlan database mode denoted by the (vlan) brackets. This is just one example of the
new material included with the new version of the CCNA ICND/INTRO exam.
