Easy Network Learning by Packet Tracer 5.0 - Technology, IT, Computer, Internet, Warnet, Blog

High Price of Cisco Network Equipment sometimes make us lazy to learn network. But since some products give us router simulator software that can make us easy learn network. I’ve tried two kind of router simulator, Packet Tracer and GNS3.

Packet Tracer

Packet tracer is good for CCNA router simulator. With that software, instructor and students can easily communicate in learning process. Students can create network topology, configure device, injects packet without without real device existence. But don’t worry, the physical view is good enough. It provides routers (C1800, C2600, C2800), switches, and host with representations of expansion interface and identifies the capabilities of each interface including cities, buildings, and multiple wiring technologies.

The Key Feature of this cisco router simulator is Simulation and Visualization mode so the students can control time interval, inner working data of transfer and Propagation of Data across network. The Activity Wizard also help users to set up scenario using text, a basic network topology and predefined packet. With Real Time Mode provides good alternatives way learning network before they facing real network equipment. In My opinion, this is good CCNA router simulator.

And for CCNP router simulator I prefer using GNS3 that gives more complete network studies. Let’s discuss
