Packet Tracer is an Android application developed by Cisco Systems. It is a network simulation tool created for students and educators to practice.
Network simulation
The application is designed to assist students, educators, and professionals in creating virtual computer networks. Here you can easily drag and drop various devices like routers, switches, PCs, and servers onto the workspace to design complex network topologies.
One of the key features of Packet Tracer is its setup capability. You can configure the properties of the virtual networking devices, such as IP addresses, routing protocols, and security settings. This way, you will gain hands-on experience in network configuration without the need for physical hardware.
In addition, the utility serves as a troubleshooting tool. It provides simulation mode, packet capture, and logging features. Thus, enabling you to analyze the network and diagnose connectivity issues.
Collaboration
Furthermore, Packet Tracer offers collaborative features to share your network designs with others. This aspect is particularly useful for students, as it promotes group projects and knowledge sharing.
