Packet Tracer Overview
What is Cisco Packet Tracer?
• Comprehensive networking technology teaching and learning
software developed by Cisco Networking Academy
• Offers a unique combination of realistic simulation and

visualization experiences, complex assessment and activity
Packet Tracer Simulation-Based Learning
• Innovative features help students and
teachers collaborate, solve problems,
and learn concepts in an engaging and
dynamic social environment
• Supports lectures, group and individual

labs, homework, exams, games,
collaborations and competitions
• Allows instructors to easily teach and

demonstrate complex technical
concepts and networking systems
design
• Helps students develop important 21st

century skills
Benefits of Simulation-Based Learning
• Students who explore and experiment using Packet Tracer develop
intellectual curiosity and critical thinking skills.
• Packet Tracer’s visually rich simulation environment facilitates

comprehension of complex technology concepts.
• Students who troubleshoot networks using Packet Tracer develop

problem solving skills.
• Students who design and build virtual networks using Packet Tracer
improve their innovation and creativity skills.
• Students who explore concepts at their own pace in Packet Tracer’s

safe, virtual environment gain confidence in their decision making skills
and abilities.
• Using Packet Tracer for team collaboration and competition activities

Packet Tracer Key
Features
Simulation, Visualization, Collaboration
Simulate IOS Commands
Visualize Network Traffic
Collaborate on
Multiuser Activities
Supports Homework, Pre-Lab Prep, and
Assessment
Packet Tracer Activity Wizard
• Anyone can author, the PT Activity Wizard guides you
• The process is basically write instructions, build a correct answer

network, specify grading, specify an initial network, save
• Ability to create your own
learning activities, tasks, labs,
games and complex
assessments
• Build scaffolded learning
experiences, formative and
summative assessments
Activity Wizard for Editing PT Activities
Instructors can localize, edit, or enhance existing activities using the Activity
Wizard
Packet Tracer Multiuser Functionality
• PT is a network-capable (peer to peer) application, using the
real network (TCP socket connections) to carry the Packet
Tracer virtual packets
• The PT application running on one computer can communicate

with the PT application running on 1 or more other computers
• This connectivity between multiple instances of PT supports

teamwork, classroom games, collaboration, competition, remote
instructor-student interaction, and social networking
• Packet Tracer traffic is isolated to prevent any access to

external equipment keeping your school network secure.

include
In-person, hands-on labs with real equipment
Online curriculum and assessment
Cisco Packet Tracer
Instructor
Collaboration Tools
• Learning cycles alternating both Packet Tracer activities and

in-person, hands-on lab experiences with real equipment are
a best practice for teaching CCNA-level networking to
beginners
Supports Networking Academy Curricula
• Supports the majority of protocols and technologies taught in CCNA
Routing and Switching, CCNA Discovery, CCNA Exploration, and CCNA
Security, and can also be used to teach concepts from IT Essentials and
CCNP courses
Students Launch Packet Tracer Directly From CCNA Curricula to Access

Activities That Reinforce the Curriculum

Packet Tracer Key Benefits
Packet Tracer Benefits
 Makes teaching easier by providing a multiuser environment for instructors

(and free to NetAcad students) to easily teach complex technical concepts
 Makes learning easier by providing a realistic simulation and visualization

environment for exploration, experimentation and explanation
 Instructors and students can create their own virtual “network worlds” for
teaching and learning networking concepts and technologies
Key Instructor Benefits

Demonstrate technologies and configurations
Author custom guided activities, labs and assessments

with immediate feedback using the Activity Wizard
Use for lecture demonstration, individual and group labs,

homework, assessments, games, network design,
troubleshooting and modeling tasks, reinforcement of
hands-on lab activities, case studies, competitions
• Supplements classroom equipment and

provides complementary learning
opportunities that are not possible in the
classroom alone
• Supports social learning processes via

multiuser collaboration and competition
Benefits for Students
• Provides a free practice and visualization
environment for the design, configuration
and troubleshooting of network
environments
Observe virtual packets in controlled time as they travel
through your network
• Allows practice outside of the physical

classroom and lab (home computers,
mobile laptops)
Create and configure much larger topologies than
possible with physical equipment available
• Provides a rich learning environment

beyond standard networking technology
instructional practices
Provides valuable hands-on expertise to help you
Summary
Packet Tracer Key Take Aways
Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation program that allows
students to experiment with network behavior and ask “what if”
questions
Makes teaching and learning network technologies easier
Not intended to replace experiences with real equipment, but rather to

complement them
A laboratory for teaching and learning; you can experiment, you can
create your own virtual network “world”
Helps students develop 21st century skills such as decision making,

creative and critical thinking, and problem solving
Packet Tracer is an integral part of the Networking Academy

comprehensive learning experience
