 Hello Guys! How are you? hope all of you are well. Because this time we will discuss Cisco Packet Tracer, by the way, does anyone know what Cisco actually is? If not, you can see the previous article Understanding and Functioning Cisco (FULL). Okay, without wasting time, let's get straight to the discussion. Cekidot!


What is Cisco Packet Tracer?


Packet Tracer is a simulator of Cisco network tools that is often used as a learning and training medium, and also in the field of computer network simulation research. This program was created by Cisco Systems and is provided free of charge to faculty, students and alumni who have participated in the Cisco Networking Academy. Packet Tracer's main goal is to provide tools for students and educators to understand the principles of computer networking as well as build skills in the field of Cisco networking tools.


Cisco Packet Tracer Functions


1. Packet Tracer allows you to configure and build your network with an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface. It provides practical experience that you can apply in class and even at work

2. Practice and learn new skills that you can use to complete real-life projects

3. Support multiple CCNA Routing protocol technologies, security, and other critical IT resources

4. The activity wizard allows you to get real-time feedback to enjoy a comprehensive learning experience

5. You can use it to monitor the logistics of parcel transfers, data transfers and more in real time

6. The community feature makes it easy for you to share ideas, practice, and learn from other instructors

7. Allows collaboration between multiple users and friends, offering a competitive learning experience


Cisco Packet Tracer Features


Bar Menu


The menu bar is a menu that contains basic commands such as: The menu bar is divided into 2 namely at the top and bottom


Low part

* New: create a new work page (new file)

* Open: open the file that has been created

* Save: save the file that has been created

* Print: to print the work page or topology that we make

* Copy : to copy the device or topology

* Paste : to paste the device or topology that we have copied

* Undo: return to the beginning or cancel the last job (last activity)

* Redo : undo undo

* Zoom in : to enlarge a topological size

* Zoom reset: restore the size to the original

* Zoom out : to reduce the size of the topology

* Dialog pallets

* Custom device dialogs


Top

* File : new, open, open sample, save, save as, save as PKZ, save as common cartridge, print, recent file, exit and logout, exit

* Edit : copy, paste, undo, redo

* Option : preferences, user profile, algorithm setting, view command log

* View: zoom, toolbars

* Tools : Drawing palette, Custom device dialog

* Extensions : Activity wizard, multiuser, IPC, scripting, clear terminal agent, LAN multiuser agent, Marvel, WAN multiuser agent, UPnp multiuser

* Help: contents, tutorials, report an issue, about


Common and drawing toolbars


* Select: choose the device that will be included in the workspace (Worksheet)

* Place Note: provide a note on the device in the workspace (worksheet)

* Delete: delete the device in the workspace (Worksheet)

* Inspect

* Draw a polygon. Use this tool for encirclement test: mark or color a device or topology

* Resize Shapes

* Add simple PDU: To send messages (test ping)

* Add complex PDUs


Device Category


* Routers: To combine or connect 2 or more networks on a different network

* Switch: Switch serves to forward data packets only. Without doing the routing process. But we can still manage it

* Hub: Just like a switch but we can't manage it

* Wireless devices: Contains various - kinds of wireless devices

* Connection: Contains various kinds of cables that are used to connect one device to another device

* End Devices: Contains various kinds of devices such as PCs, Laptops, Servers (generic), IP Phones, voip devices, Phones, TVs, etc.

*Security

* WAN Emulation

* Custom made devices: Devices that we can custom according to our needs or desires

* Multiuser Connection


Realtime Simulation Bars


This feature is used to view network simulations and data packets specifically


Conclusion


Cisco Packet Tracer is an application for creating network simulations or for creating a network topology. Besides that, Cisco Packet Tracer is also equipped with various features to make it easier for us to learn.
