Packet Tracer is an exciting network design, simulation and modelling tool that allows you to develop your skill set in networking, cybersecurity, and the Internet of Things (IoT). It allows you to model complex systems without the need for dedicated equipment. It is used across numerous Cisco Academy courses to help develop and assess the skill set necessary for successful completion of the course. In this chapter, Packet Tracer is introduced and instructions are provided to allow you to download and install it.
This chapter introduces the user interface and provides guidance on how to create a simple network using packet Tracer.
In this chapter, you learn how to use Packet Tracer's powerful simulation mode. This mode allows you to verify device connectivity and to study how the various types of data traverse your network.
In this chapter, you are introduced to the Physical view. This mode allows you to place a logical network topology into a physical context. Packet Tracer creates various file types. The file types are introduced in this chapter and we also discuss how Packter Tracer is used as an assessment tool.
In simple terms the IoT is a connection of networked sensors, actuators, and smart devices that collect and share data. Packet Tracer 7 contains many new features to support the IoT. This includes the addition of IoT device that can be configured to take actions based on the changing environmental values, such as turning on lights or closing garage doors. The next few chapters include instructions to locate the IoT devices, to connect them to you network, to configure and modify scripts to make them function, and to control these devices remotely. Packet Tracer provides everything you need to create simulated smart homes, smart cities and smart factories.
In this chapter you will learn how to connect and control smart devices using either a Home Gateway device or a remote registration server.
