I've been directed to use the packet tracer software as part of an online educational course. I have installed the software and am following some introductory courses on it; Of course the equipment and devices library focuses on Cisco products; but I also want to map-in items like a simmple 3rd party manufactuer SOHO unmanaged ethernet switch, but so far I cant find a device in the list to represent an item like this.

I also should confess that mostly I use draytek Vigor small business equipment which has a lot of proffesional business features included; Is there an online resource (website) that includes an equipment library to other equipment manufacturers devices etc?

EVE-ng has a free community version like GNS3. The main reason to choose EVE-ng over GNS3 IMO is the support for multiple config-sets and config import + export functionality. Most courses/lab-books I've seen also provide labs in EVE-ng format.

You can use both GNS3 and EVE-ng for virtualising Draytek Vigor routers, provided you can get a virtual appliance disk file(Qemu, vmdk etc.). Neither seem to have premade templates for Draytek Vigor devices, but importing them with a custom template should be doable. Let me know if this is something you would want help with

This is my first time posting on here on what has been a pretty frustrating issue so I really am hopeful for some help. I cannot use packet tracer because my login is failing any time I have tried today. I am following an online course and have basically wasted one of the two days a week that I have to study trying to resolve this.

Even though I am already logged into Netcad on one tab, when I try to log in to the page that packet tracer opens, it fails and then closes packet tracer. I've seen nothing online about this so I guess it's just me. :(

I have disabled my AV, Firewall, cleared cache, there is no popup blocker installed. I have uninstalled it, gone back to Netcad and downloaded it, and (even while still logged in), packet tracer login fails. I have messaged Cisco on facebook hours ago, with no reply as yet. Is there anyone else out there experiencing this?

it worked for me. I first installed and the message came to select public or private network. I choose Private. Then Windows firewall keeps blocking it whenever I tried to launch the program. But disconnecting pc from internet allows it to run.

I want to say that the black window that was appearing to me is a problem in my computer's memory. I think the space is small because my device is very old (:))
I tried a lot of solutions, and it worked.
Anyone who has the previous problem should know that it is due to problems with the computer memory, and you can do some of the following steps to help:
- There is a tool called Memory Cleaner that helps refresh the memory. I tried it, you can visit this person's blog and download it
Also on the following site there are many tools that help refresh memory
-optimize-ram-memory/

It is also better to close the Internet browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and others) because they are occupying the memory
- On my part, the McAfee anti-virus program is memory-exhausting (I do not recommend against using it), but it should be paused when using the PT program.
- At the end, you can go to the task manager and press F5 to refresh the memory. That helps a lot.

I still have this circumstance, Please refer to attachment. The circle bar have not been completely finished loading. I can just force to click "guest login' ( I just have 3 times on saving my exercise as I am a guest). Can someone help me?
I use window 7 so my version of packet tracer I am using is old version one

That could just be the subnets you need to make but not necessarily need to add on the simulator. Like @MHM Cisco World said as long as you have 1 or 2 devices per subnet to test reachability it should be fine. (but also clarify with the instructor if you can) If it says you need 30 hosts in this subnet and 12 hosts in another, instead of putting 42 hosts in packet tracer you would just need to create the networks that can support that many devices and the couple of devices you add would just have IPs from that subnet with a default gateway and such.

which version of Packet Tracer are you using ? If you use the scroll bars at the bottom and right, the UI is rather large, and (at least in version 8.1.1) I can fit hundreds of devices. Can you post a screenshot showing the small UI you have ?

There is a known issue between packet tracer 7.1 and Ubuntu 16.04 which blocks packet tracer from starting. Packet tracer needs a library libicui18n.so.52 which has been updated with libicui18n.so.55 in Ubuntu 16.04. To solve this issue, we have to download and install the older version of this library. Older version of this library is available in a Debian package at :-

Open terminal type packettracer, make sure you use two t's, packettracer not packetracer, not case sensitive, do not need to change directory, I am running version 7.1.1 on ubuntu 14.04, no need to type packettracer7 or packettracer7.1.1 just packettracer.

to emnoc: people are not locked to cisco approach, just want to use good inventions if its possible. Imagine i have remote site, like datacenter , and no users can help me to generate traffic but i want to test web filters and app filters under policy , i have report that access to box.com and dropbox are passing trough although i see web filter block is applied for file sharing and storage category. How can i test at this situation? Where i'd get "active" traffic in datacenter with no users there?

Actually fortios has added a packet tracer like function to fortios "diag firewall iprope lookup" it can do protocol and port traffic flows and show you want policy is matched. you do not need active traffic per-se

The NX-OSv 9000 is a virtual appliance designed to simulate the control plane of a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch. The NX-OSv 9000 shares the same software image running on Cisco Nexus 9000 hardware platform. Line card (LC) ASIC provisioning or any interaction from the control plane to rela switch ASICs are emulated by the NX-OSv 9000 software data plane.

Following the the Nexus 7000 Titanium emulator, the NX-OSv 9000 is a moder emulator for datacenter certifications training. It's also great plaform to test network automation prior to production deployment.

NX-OSv 9000 runs on GNS3, KVM, or VMware NSX. Current version of NXOSv is 10.4(1)F. This version adds or enhances VXLAN EVPN First Hop Security (IPv4), radius over DTLS, port-channel load-balance command for MPLS tagged traffic, support to redirect/deny all packets using ePBR policy, VXLAN QoS Outer Header Policy for Layer 2

UCS PE (Platform Emulator) is a powerful Cisco UCS Manager emulator allowing CCNP datacenter students to learn how to configure the UCS environment.
