Enhancing Router Programming Skills with Cisco Router Emulation Software

This project aims to develop an emulator for learning router programming, focusing on the Cisco Router Series 2500. The emulator interprets major I.O.S. commands to build router configurations, providing a graphical representation and advanced features such as file management. The software, programmed in Java, proved to enhance router programming skills in a Cisco lab setting at Napier University.

  1. Router Configuration Emulation Bachelor of Science with Honours in Network Computing Submission date: May 2002 Supervisor: Dr. Bill Buchanan Second Marker: Pr. Peter Ross Sébastien Kotzine 00198226 School of computing Napier University

  2. Abstract & Introduction • The aim of this project is to produce a package of an emulator which will enhance the learning of router programming • Router: • Networking device layer 3 of the OSI model. • Forwards data traffic using its tables of IP addresses • - uses I.O.S. (Internetwork Operating System) An emulator is, as accurately as possible, a representation of the reality. Cisco Router Series 2500

  3. Methodologies and Technologies • Programmed in Java • - Platform independent • Powerful • -Robust • -Java Swing Components • -Documentation • Interprets major I.O.S. (Internetwork Operation System) commands and provides feedback to the user in order to build a router configuration interpretation of I.O.S. commands

  4. Results - 5 router configurations tested successfully using the Router Configuration Emulation software Topology of the Cisco lab in Napier University Implementation of advanced features such as - Open & Save File Configuration - Graphical representation of the router configuration Procedure used to save the router file configuration

  5. Evaluation / Conclusion Evaluators have agreed that the features provided enhance Router Programming skills e.g. Graphical representation the Router Lab_a. - Load and Save Router Configuration - Graphical representation of the configuration performed The Software under Linux Mandrake 8.1
