So I am getting more and more into the networking world and seriously considering taking my ICND1 and 2 over the next couple of months.

My only problem is the limitations of some of these sims. Packet tracer is great if you're just starting out, but there are A LOT of limitations once you get passed ICND1 (I'm not even able to assign a static IP on the DHCP pool because it doesnt recognize Host command.) GNS3 is also great but you have to have the actual IOS bin file (which i fortunately do have) but there are limitations with L2 switching as some of you may know. I recently found out about Boson NetSim after weeks of lurking on this sub and I even see that there is a Boson Employee here every once in a while. I just wanted to know if there are also limitations with this software. Im considering buying it (CCNA Version) since I dont have the means to have a physical lab but was interested in hearing first hand from people that have already bought the product. If it makes it a difference, I'm more interesting in learning the material as apposed to passing a test. Once i got the material down then i can worry about tests.

Have a short term and long term strategy. In the short term, Packet Tracer is fine for ICND1 and ICND2, you get up and running quickly and it's free. There are some limitations but it will get you going on the certification process. In the longer term, GNS3 is more complex but also has a lot of flexibility and is multivendor. If networking if going to be your career, you will probably want some environment to prototype stuff and GNS3 provides a good long term solution for this.

So, start your studying with Packet Tracer, and along the way grab some time to get up to speed with GNS3. In some situations, VIRL might be the best tool if you're Cisco only and you don't mind the price.
