Amulab

Amulab is a powerful PEMU and Dynamips web and application frontend graphical tool for designing and testing lab topologies. Its drag-and-drop feature makes it easy to set up a lab and the interconnections between devices can be created with just a double-click. Existing labs topologies can be easily edited, saved, and loaded either locally or remotely, and a lab startup script can be created to run the lab on another machine, all without the need for manual initialization scripts.

The Amulab application has the additional feature of asking for IOS for each new device, creating the necessary directory structure automatically and opening console windows for each device in the lab. Whether online or standalone, users can store their topologies in the database at the server or locally in a file, then edit, change, save, and create the most current script for their updated topology remotely or locally.

Amulab supports a wide range of features including 7200, 3640, 3725, 3745, 2691, PIX, FastEthernet, Serial, ATM, Ethernet interfaces, PA-FE-TX, PA-4T+, PA-8E, NM-4T, NM-4E, NM-16ESW, NM-1FE, multilink interconnections, virtual bridge and switch support, and switch port type setup (dot1Q, access).

To use Amulab, you just need Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 or later. With Amulab, users can easily simulate and test network topologies, making it an ideal software for network designers and administrators.
