Well the thing about Cisco (which makes it necessary) is that these devices have their own operating system, known as Cisco Internetwork Operating System (Cisco IOS). Basically you connect to these devices and manage them using a command line. I found some simulators on the Internet, but decided that it would be easier to just have my own equipment to move plugs and be able to disable and enable certain interfaces.
