This video will show you how to download and install Packet Tracer. You will use Packet Tracer to simulate
creating and testing networks on your computer. Packet Tracer is a fun, take-home, flexible software program
9 QoS Concepts  that will give you the opportunity to use the network representations and theories that you have just learned to
build network models and explore relatively complex LANs and WANs.

10 Network Management  Students commonly use Packet Tracer to:

Prepare for a certification exam.

11 Network Design  Practice what they learn in networking courses.
Sharpen their skills for a job interview.
Examine the impact of adding new technologies into existing network designs.
Build their skills for jobs in the Internet of Things.
12 Network Troubleshooting 
Compete in Global Design Challenges (take a look at the 2017 PT 7 Design Challenge on Facebook).

Packet Tracer is an essential learning tool used in many Cisco Networking Academy courses.
13 Network Virtualization 
 To obtain and install your copy of Cisco Packet Tracer follow these steps:

14 Network Automation  Step 1. Log into your Cisco Networking Academy “I'm Learning” page.

Step 2. Select Resources.

Step 3. Select Download Packet Tracer.

Step 4. Select the version of Packet Tracer you require.

Enterprise Networking, Step 5. Save the file to your computer.

Single-Area OSPFv2 Packet Tracer is a tool that allows you to simulate real networks. It provides three main menus:

Configuration
You can add devices and connect them via cables or wireless.
You can select, delete, inspect, label, and group components within your network.
3 Network Security Concepts  You can manage your network by opening an existing/sample network, saving your current network, and
modifying your user profile or preferences.

4 ACL Concepts
5 ACLs for IPv4 Configuration
 If you have used any program such as a word processor or spreadsheet, you are already familiar with the File
menu commands located in the top menu bar. The Open, Save, Save As, and Exit commands work as they would
for any program, but there are two commands that are special to Packet Tracer.

The Open Samples command will display a directory of prebuilt examples of features and configurations of
various network and Internet of Things devices included within Packet Tracer.

6 NAT for IPv4  The Exit and Logout command will remove the registration information for this copy of Packet Tracer and require
the next user of this copy of Packet Tracer to do the login procedure again.

7 WAN Concepts  Click Play in the video to learn how to use the menus and how to create your first Packet Tracer network.

medium-sized business network might look.
1.0.1 Why should I take this module?
Most of the devices in the Seward branch office and Warrenton data center are already deployed and configured.
What will I learn to do in this You have just been hired to review the devices and networks deployed. It is not important that you understand
