Cisco Packet Tracer Download
Aleck Coulombe
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
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 ?
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 Fortinet Security Fabric brings together the concepts of convergence and consolidation to provide comprehensive cybersecurity protection for all users, devices, and applications and across all network edges.
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language.

Packet-tracer is an inbuilt utility on the Nexus 9000 that can be used to trace the path of the packet through the switch. It can be invoked using the command line and can be configured to match IP address and or layer 4 attributes. It cannot be used to match ARP traffic.
This tool provides confirmation on whether a flow is traversing through the switch. It also provides a counter to track flow statistics which can be useful for scenerios of intermittent/complete packet loss.
The previous commands programs the trigger on every Broadcom Trident II Asic that exist on the line card or the fabric modules. When a flow with the matching attributes passes through these modules, it shows the counters being hit thereby helping identify the path within the switch (Ingress module--->One of the fabric module---->egress module).
PACL (Port Access-list) is used to see if a particular physical interface received our interested traffic. However on Nexus platform, some of the linecards do not have TCAM carved for PACL. TCAM carving requires module reload. In those cases, use packet tracer to match the interested traffic. You can also trace the packet going up to fabric ports and going towards egress module. So packet tracer gives you more insight into how traffic is being forwarded within the switch.
Update 06/04/2024 : A new Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2.2 version has been released for download on Netacad website. This is a bugfix release fixing several bugs on accessibility, usability, and security of Packet Tracer 8.2. Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2 introduced a new command as well as bug fixing regarding incompatible DLLs that caused Packet Tracer crashes.
Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2 is created by Cisco SystemsTM and is provided for free to everyone. Self learners are able to download Cisco Packet Tracer after registering on Cisco Netacad website. This is a major change in Cisco delivery policy for Packet Tracer as previous versions were only available for Netacad students and instructors.
Cisco Packet Tracer 8.2.2 can be downloaded for FREE from official Cisco Netacad website. Log in to Cisco Netacad.com learning website and select Resources > Packet Tracer in the menu to access the download page. The software is provided with several tutorial files allowing academy students to discover the software features.
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. The current version emulates the UCS manager 4.2(2aPE1), which includes 62xx/63xx/64xx Fabric Interconnect, C4200 series rack server chassis with C125 rack servers, as well as Cisco UCS M6 and HX220C and HX240C servers support. The S3260 storage server is also emulated in UCS PE. These release can be connected to GNS using VMware.
UCS PE is also featured in a Cisco dCloud programmability demo (cisco login required). The demo includes a comprehensive lab guide including the following content for Cisco UCS PowerTool and the Python SDK:
PT Anywhere is a web application designed to offer a network simulation environment based on Cisco Packet Tracer engine throug a web interface which can be accessed from a web browser. PT Anywhere can as such be integrated inside a website, an online course, a learning systm like moodle... It has been developed by the Open University and Cisco and has been funded by the FORGE project.
The PTBridge java utilitary has been validated working with Cisco Packet Tracer 7.0 . This tool provides real network connectivity to Cisco Packet Tracer, and thus the ability to connect to other lab environments. Download it from Github and connect your Packet Tracer labs to your real Cisco devices !.

The image of a network im refering to is above. In Cisco Packet Tracer after having used a command ping 192.168.1.3 from pc1 to pc3, when I check mac addresses in both SW1 and SW2 using show mac address-table(from privileged EXEC mode in SW1 CLI) I see too many mac addresses, I would expect to only see mac addresses from pc1 and pc3 in both SW1 and SW2 however there is also mac address of pc4 in both mac address-tables. However this occurs only on a first ping, when I clear mac addresses(in both switches) reapeat the ping command ping 192.168.1.3 I get only 2 mac addresses in bot switches, as exepected. Is that a Cisco packet tracer bug or am I missing some technical detail?
