Introduction

Packet Tracer is a very powerful simulation tool from Cisco Systems, used to

Educate students on Network environment simulation. Created by Cisco Systems; as

part of the Networking Academy, it allows students to create network environments, for

practicing different networking situations. Packet Tracer provides simulation,

visualization, authoring, assessment, and collaboration capabilities and facilitates the

teaching and learning of complex technology concepts. (Cisco Networking Academy, 2014)

Cisco Systems created Packet Tracer so people interested in becoming Cisco Certified

Network Associates could practice, learn and get the CCNA certification. The tool was

made for practice ,and learning only; and it cannot compare to the real Cisco Switches

and Routers on real enviroment. Packet Tracer can be utilize for simulation with the

different kinds of protocols, devices, and troubleshooting tools to diagnose, check and

connect Networks made by the student in the platform to check connectivity.
