Cisco Packet Tracer
Cisco Packet Tracer, an innovative network configuration simulation tool, helps you hone
your networking configuration skills from your desktop. Use Packet Tracer to experiment
while building, managing & securing infrastructures.
Cisco Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulator which can be used for learning
about networks. This simulator enables to learn;

• Functioning of various networking devices

• Connecting various devices in networks

• Implementing various networking protocols such as STP, HSRP, RIP,


OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP, application layer protocols (HTTP, FTP, TFTP,
DNS etc.)

• Performance analysis of network and algorithm in both real time and simulation mode

1. Applications of Packet Tracer:

a) Getting hands-on experience of networking concepts


b) Preparing for professional certificates such as CCNP and CCNA
2. Packet tracer components introduction

2.1. Communication Devices


On the lower left corner, there are all the components required for creating network.
There are routers, switches, End devices, Hubs, Wireless Devices, and Connections etc.

Connecting wires is highlighted below:


Switch can be found in the same corner as highlighted below

By clicking on any device (Switch) a physical view of device


• Click on any “PC” we just placed. You should see something similar to
“CPU”. This is the physical view of the PC. We can even see the Power
button
