Cisco Packet Tracer Pro Tips for CCNA Students

Cisco Packet Tracer – a network simulator – reigns as the most popular lab practice tool for CCNA. You can get all the standard help you need for it from the FREE class from Cisco – the class you need to register for to download the app. But would you like some pro tips from me on how to use it for your CCNA preparation? If so, you’ve come to the right place.

In this video, I’ll talk you through a variety of topics with Cisco Packet Tracer, including some settings that should help you get more out of the tool. Other topics in this video may surprise you, like how CPT’s logic differs from Cisco device IOS.

Hope you enjoy the tips! Let me know what was most helpful to you.
