If you’re a newbie in networking trying to get certifications such as Cisco CCENT or CCNA, then Packet Tracer will be a great help to you.
Cisco Packet Tracer is a network simulation software for simulating Cisco networking devices. You can use Cisco Packet Tracer to design simple to pretty complex network topologies. You can also configure the virtual computers, routers, switches etc in Packet Tracer to test your network topology.
Cisco Packet Tracer can also be used to simulate wireless networks, IP telephony networks (VoIP) and many more.
If you’re aiming for Cisco certification such as CCENT, CCNA etc, then you can use Cisco Packet Tracer to learn to configure Cisco networking devices (such as Switches and Routers) using Cisco IOS commands.
In this article, I will show you how to install and use Cisco Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Let’s get started.
