Practice CCNA router and switch labs anywhere with a mobile CLI simulator.
PocketCLI is a Cisco-style CCNA CLI lab simulator that helps you practice router, switch, and network configuration without needing expensive lab hardware.
Design, build, and configure your own interactive network topologies in a visual lab environment. Practice real command-line configuration, follow along with labs from books or video courses, and recreate network scenarios to sharpen your troubleshooting skills.
Unlike simple CCNA quiz or exam apps, PocketCLI focuses on hands-on configuration practice. Build labs, enter commands, test behavior, and learn by doing.
Practice anytime, anywhere — whether you are commuting, on a break, or reviewing before your next study session.
PocketCLI: Learn. Practice. Build CCNA skills anywhere.

This app does a lot more than I expected. It has help commands and uses shortcuts, which is better than many simulators I've seen. It doesn't seem to be processor intensive or use much battery. Great companion for book learning. I'll be taking this app everywhere.
I love this app

I used this app to help me study and practice for my CCNA exam when I wasn’t able to get to GNS3, which was actually quite a bit. The ability to create my own labs as well as download already built scenarios was immensely helpful. I’ve kept using it even after passing the exam to help gain more skill and retain what I’ve already learned.

Congratulations on your CCNA! We appreciate the positive feedback and your patience.
Blogs + sandbox = invaluable

If you are going through multiple choice questions and hitting conceptual walls this resource will throw you over and then some Would love to see a lightweight WLC interface added down the road, that’d make this the complete pocket lab

Huge thanks for the 5 stars! Glad it’s helping you. Wireless is coming; tightening up a few areas before development.
Awesome
