Cisco Configuration Professional (CCP) 2.6 is a GUI-based device management tool designed to simplify the deployment and management of Cisco access routers | | Offline usable | Doesn’t require internet
Since CCP 2.6 is older software, it often fails to run on modern systems without these tweaks: Modern users often run it in a to ensure compatibility
: If you are using CCP for CCNA study, these simulators are much more stable.
