What is Packet Tracer?

Packet Tracer is an interactive tool for learning the

basic operations of various networking devices at the

data link and network layer of the OSI model.

It is intended to teach beginning networking studentshow and why devices in a network work the way they

do.

A student using this simulation tool is able to build

their own computer networks, and observe the

behavior of data frames and packets as they traverse

through routers, switches, and other devices.

Why should I use Packet Tracer?

Packet Tracer will enhance the learning experience

of the students.

These interactive activities will help further explain

and reinforce the material learned in lectures or

online.

It is a powerful instructional tool that was adopted by

the Cisco Networking Academy to help instructorsteach the curriculum.

How can I use Packet Tracer?

The instructor may easily integrate Packet Tracer into

a lecture.

Packet Tracer may be used to reinforce information

learned after the student reads the curriculum and

the instructor lectures on the material.

How can I use Packet Tracer?

The instructor may assign a task of designing a

network with certain specifications.

The instructor may then evaluate the students

networks by sending packets across the network.

The instructor may also provide pre-designed

networks that do not work perfectly, and assign the

students the task of troubleshooting the network.

What kind of equipment can beused to create topologies?

Topologies can be built using the following equipment:

Router Repeater

Cloud Hub

Switch Wireless Access Point

Bridge PC

What type of interfaces can beused to interconnect devices?

The following interfaces can be selected to interconnect

hardware devices:

Ethernet (copper)

Fast Ethernet (copper and fiber)

Gigabit Ethernet (copper and fiber)

Serial

Modem

Wireless

What routing algorithms do therouters use in Packet Tracer?

Routers in Packet Tracer use RIP version 1 or 2.

The routers exchange routing information dynamically

to build their routing tables.

What routing algorithms do therouters use in Packet Tracer?

One of the most valuable aspects of Packet Tracer is

the ability to run simulations after creating networks.

The user can create the network, and then create

several different scenarios of sending packets from

different sources to different destinations.

The network along with these scenarios can be saved

and used again.

How long will it take me tolearn Packet Tracer?

A person with basic networking skills can learn how to

use Packet Tracer and build basic simulations in less

than one hour.

Packet Tracers help documents provide several 5 to

10 minute tutorials that can help users quick-start on

this program.
