How to install Packet Tracer on Ubuntu 21.04

Packet Tracer is the ally of thousands of people who are involved in the world of networks since it has been developed in order to be a network simulation utility thanks to which we can create an infrastructure to detect the sending and receiving of packages . Configuration of network devices and functions focused on the network scope. Packet Tracer integrates everything necessary for the network environment to be complete, such as the use of a switch, router and from there we can check the configuration of network services such as DNS, DHCP and Web..

 

Advantages Packet Tracer
Some of the benefits of using Packet Tracer are:

 

  • Multiple geographic representations of networks are integrated to accurately determine the topology to use and the integration methods in either a small or large place
  • Add simulation, visualization, authoring, evaluation and control capabilities of networks and network peripherals
  • It allows the simulation of physical equipment integrating its functions and characteristics, this helps to be better prepared in the real environment
  • It has a multiuser peer-to-peer mode which allows managing virtual networks over a real network
  • Add a built-in wizard for functions and help
  • It is possible to keep track of time intervals, data transfer or impact on a real network
  • It integrates two display modes, the real-time mode and the simulation mode
  • It has logical and physical workspaces, the difference is that in the logical environment we can design and build logical network topologies that connect to virtual network devices and in the physical workspace we have a physical workspace graphically of the logical network to create
