Packet Tracer v4.1: Network Simulation Software

Cisco Networking Academy

We live in an increasingly connected world, creating a global

economy and a growing need for technical skills. Cisco

Networking Academy delivers information technology skills to

over 500,000 students a year in more than 165 countries world-

wide. Networking Academy students have the opportunity to

participate in a powerful and consistent learning experience that

is supported by high quality, online curricula and assessments,

instructor training, hands-on labs, and classroom interaction. This

experience ensures the same level of qualiications and skills

regardless of where in the world a student is located.

Networking Academy students will become the architects of

the networked economy; enabling everyday experiences on

the global human network. With the ever-increasing demand for

their skills, Networking Academy students have the chance to

dream about business-critical positions never before imagined,

in industries ranging from medicine and inance to entertainment

and aerospace. Networking Academy opens doors to rewarding

careers and opportunities for economic advancement and local

community development. Students only need to be ‘Mind Wide

Open’ to the possibilities.

The Packet Tracer Solution

Packet Tracer is a self-paced, visual, interactive teaching and

learning tool. It is designed to increase interaction between

students and instructors, promote student learning, and enhance

instructor presentations.

Lab activities are an important part of networking education.

However, lab equipment can be a scarce resource. Packet Tracer

provides a visual simulation of equipment and network processes

to offset the challenge of limited equipment. Students can spend

as much time as they like completing standard lab exercises

through Packet Tracer, and have the option to work from home.

Although other simulation products for Cisco equipment are

available, they do not include the unique visualization features of

Packet Tracer. This technology is a new and fun way to expand

teaching and learning experiences beyond the limitations of the

traditional lab environment. Packet Tracer helps resolve some

common challenges that instructors face on a daily basis, while

enabling us to explore new frontiers in networking education.

The Teaching Experience

Packet Tracer provides multiple opportunities for instructors to

demonstrate networking concepts. Although Packet Tracer is not a

substitute for real equipment, it allows students to practice using a

command line interface. This “e-doing” capability is a fundamental

component of learning how to conigure routers and switches from

the command line.

Packet Tracer’s

simulation mode

allows instructors

to demonstrate

processes that

were formerly hid-

den to students.

Showing internal

functions in “easy-

to-see” tables and

diagrams simpli-

ies the learning

process. The

simulation mode

also decreases instructor presentation time by replacing the white

board and static slides with real-time visuals.

The Student Experience

Students who spend more time in an e-doing mode of learning,

with simulation and interaction, will be better equipped to apply

concepts and coniguration fundamentals when exposed to real

equipment. As students gain practical experience with tasks, such

as troubleshooting, they become more conident in their abilities.

The Activity

Wizard allows

users to set-up

a scenario using

text, a basic

network topology,

and predeined

packets. The activity

feedback is shown

in summary format.

Students can

create and answer

“what if” scenarios

and instructors

can create their

own self-evaluated activities that present immediate feedback to

students on their proiciency in completing the activity.

Another impor-

tant aspect of

Packet Tracer is

discovery learn-

ing. Packet Tracer

generally provides

a greater variety

of equipment

combinations

than a student

would encounter

in a lab environ-

ment. Students

have the ability to

connect the equipment in as many different combinations as they

would like for each simulation. For example, students can create

a network that has 50 routers, connect the routers, and conigure

the network to function properly. These types of capabilities give

students an opportunity to experiment and develop an in-depth

understanding of network processes and equipment. Another

important element of student learning that Packet Tracer encour-

ages is that it is fun, which can be a very important motivation.

The Real-Time Mode provides students with a viable alternative

to real equipment and allows them to gain coniguration practice

before working with real equipment.

Additional Features

• Lab grading function

• Modular devices

• User-friendly CLI and integrated help feature

• Different device models for creating custom networks

• Tutorial

• International language support

• Simple mode

Key Features

In the Simulation and Visualization Mode, students can see

and control time intervals, the inner workings of data transfer, and

the propagation of data across a network. This helps students un-

derstand the fundamental concepts behind network operations. A

solid understanding of network fundamentals can help accelerate

learning about related concepts.

The physical view of devices such as routers, switches, and

hosts, presents graphical representations of expansion cards and

identiies the capabilities of each card. The physical view also

provides geographic representations, including multiple cities,

buildings, and wiring closets.
