An updated version of the Packet Tracer will be a recommended choice as for the CISCO proprietary software.

GNS3 is also considerable.

For switching GNS3 with vIOS-L2 and vIOS-L3 would cover the most, it has been said VIRL has most of the feature required for CCNP

Packet tracer and GNS3 both don't help in advance switching labs. Cisco's new VIRL is quite costly friends so still not much free options available.

You can go through either Cisco Packet Tracer or GNS3
