Video – Introduction to Packet Tracer

Hello everyone! We'd like to introduce you to an exciting and easy to use network simulation tool: Cisco Packet
Tracer. This simulation tool provides amazing features allowing you to build networks from scratch, open sample
files from prebuilt networks, test new and existing network designs, and even examine how data flows through
your network.
You can build networks that include servers, firewalls, routers, and switches, and even wireless connections. But
with Cisco Packet Tracer, it doesn't end there. Packet Tracer provides support for the Internet of Things. In the
IoT, known as Internet of Things, devices and sensors that have never been connected before, are now being
connected.
Look at the example I prepared here. This beautiful house has multiple devices connected to the network. Now, I
was just playing around with Cisco Packet Tracer and I had to edit smart lawn sprinklers, smart ceiling fans, smart
door sensor, a smart thermostat, even a water level monitor, and a garage door. And they're all interconnected.
We can even set up a wireless router and switches and laptops, firewalls and computers, and new devices called
our smart home gateway.
With Cisco Packet Tracer, though, we could either start from here - that blank screen - and build it from scratch,
or we can even open up prebuilt sample labs. These are prebuilt sample labs with prebuilt networks. To do it,
we'd go to File, and then Open Samples. We are going to have a list of multiple folders where we can browse
through different labs. In each of these folders are prebuilt sample labs. For example, we have server labs. In the
server labs, we can see security with AAA, DNS, file servers, secure web browsing, email servers, and even go
into IoT registration servers for our IoT devices.
For now, we're going to head over to the PC directory, and then the VPN folder. In the VPN folder, there's a VPN
Easy file that we can open up. This file gives us a basic VPN connection that we can test within Cisco Packet
Tracer. We can follow the instructions to deploy our own VPN.
Packet Tracer is not a replacement for real, physical equipment, but it's an excellent tool that allows you to build
and model your own configurations. It also supports a lot of the technology required to practice for your Cisco
certification exams. And, good news! Cisco Packet Tracer is free of charge. This tool is available for both Linux
and Windows operating systems. It's even available for mobile devices, like smartphones and tablets.
There's so many areas to explore in Cisco Packet Tracer, the best thing you can do right now is download and
install the latest version, and just start playing. The opportunities to learn technologies and build your skills are
endless. So let's get going, and let's do this.
