Cisco hardware simulator

One of the guys at work showed me something called Packet Tracer (part of the Cisco Networking Academy packages). It's a bit similat to GNS3 but a lot more advanced (full visual view of device, more devices, less memory hog, drag-drop components, no IOS images needed,...). Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be available for free.

dynamips?

Did you try dynamips ? It does require IOS images, but is bug-for-bug emulator of Cisco, and together with dynagui it's a great platform for Cisco testing.
Oh, did I mentioned it's free? ;-)

Well, GNS3 runs on top of Dynamips ;)
