Hello Giuliano,=20
Along with the recommendation of dynamips, I would suggest downloading gns3=
, which ties into dynamips.=C2=A0 You can run the same version of IOS that =
you are working with in production, and there are versions for Windows/*nix=
.=20
http://www.gns3.net/=20
It acts more like an emulators at first glance, and does not seem to have t=
he same limitations as some of the other simulators out there.=C2=A0 Just m=
ake sure you have the hardware to support it.=20
Thanks,=20

Oi Giulianao,=20
I've used this in the past to dump a lot of routes into test networks:=20

There's a similar project written in python, but I can't find it right now.=
