NetConfig Suite is the ultimate all-in-one configuration generator and toolkit built specifically for Network Engineers, IT Professionals, and Cisco Certification Students (CCNA, CCNP, CCIE). Whether you are provisioning a new enterprise site, setting up complex routing protocols, or securing your perimeter, NetConfig Suite eliminates syntax errors and saves you hours of manual typing. Stop relying on messy text files and outdated scripts. With a sleek, intuitive interface, NetConfig Suite allows you to input your topology variables and instantly generates secure, flawless, ready-to-deploy command-line interface (CLI) scripts. KEY FEATURES & GENERATORS • Routing & Switching (IOS & NX-OS) Instantly build base configurations, VLANs, Router-on-a-Stick, Spanning Tree (STP), and DHCP pools. Support for both standard Catalyst IOS and enterprise Nexus (NX-OS) environments, including vPC and iSCSI setups. • Advanced Dynamic Routing Deploy complex routing topologies without the headache. Generate precise configurations for OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, complete with neighbor adjacencies, AS numbers, and passive interfaces. • Security & Firewalls Lock down your network with confidence. Generate configurations for Standard and Extended ACLs, NAT/PAT, GRE Tunnels, and robust Firewall security policies (supporting standard Firewalls and Next-Generation Threat Defense systems). • Storage Area Networks (MDS) Navigating SANs has never been easier. Build out Cisco MDS configurations, manage VSANs, and configure Fibre Channel zoning with dedicated SAN generation tools. • Wireless LAN Controllers (WLC) Quickly provision Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers with secure SSIDs, management interfaces, and RADIUS authentication settings. MORE THAN JUST A GENERATOR • Built-in Educational Context Not sure why a specific command is needed? Every configuration option includes built-in "Why?" context explaining the purpose of the command and enterprise best practices. It’s like having a senior engineer looking over your shoulder. • Complete Command Reference & Troubleshooting Access an extensive library of Cisco commands and interactive troubleshooting guides. Whether you are hunting down a Layer 2 loop or a Layer 3 routing issue, our guided troubleshooters will point you in the right direction.

About

WeakSim

Features
Read full description

WeakSim is an iOS weak network simulator. It intercepts device traffic through the system VPN (Packet Tunnel), applying delays, packet loss, bandwidth throttling and other impairments to TCP/UDP packets locally. It reproduces real-world weak network scenarios such as subways, elevators, high-speed trains, and poor signal areas, helping you verify your app's timeout, reconnection, and degradation logic. Core Features: - System-level traffic interception: Based on Network Extension Packet Tunnel, all device traffic goes through weak network simulation. - 9 built-in preset scenarios: 2G / 3G / Weak 4G / Weak Wi-Fi, Subway, Elevator, High Latency, High-Speed Train Disconnection, DNS Timeout. - Customizable network impairment parameters: Latency & Jitter, Packet Loss, Up/Down Bandwidth Throttling, Reordering, Duplication, Tampering, Periodic Disconnection, DNS Failure / Timeout / Error / Domain Hijacking. - Multiple network impairment models: Latency supports Uniform / Gaussian / Long-tail distribution; Packet Loss supports Random / Burst mode, closer to real link fluctuation. Sensitive Data: - WeakSim does not capture network packets; it only applies impairments such as latency, packet loss, and bandwidth throttling to network packets. - WeakSim collects metrics such as the number of uplink and downlink packets, traffic volume, and packet loss count, and stores them locally using SQLite without involving any remote servers. 【Auto-Renewable Subscription】 1. Subscription Service: a) Pro Weekly - Weekly auto-renewing subscription (1 week) 2. Payment: Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account upon confirmation of purchase. 3. Auto-Renewal: Your iTunes account will be charged within 24 hours before the current period ends. Once the charge succeeds, the subscription period will be extended by one term. 4.
