  1. Packet Tracer 5.0 Overview July 14, 2008

  2. Agenda • Packet Tracer Overview • PT 5.0 Key Features and What’s New • Expanded Platform Support • Enhanced Protocol Support • Multiuser Functionality • PT 5.0 Key Benefits • Summary

  3. Packet Tracer Overview

  4. What is Packet Tracer 5.0? • Comprehensive networking technology teaching and learning software with powerful simulation, visualization, authoring, assessment, and collaboration capabilities • Offers a unique combination of realistic simulation and visualization experiences, complex assessment and activity authoring capabilities, and opportunities for multiuser collaboration and competition

  5. Simulation, Visualization, Collaboration simulate IOS commands visualize network traffic collaborate on multiuser activities

  6. Supports Homework and Pre-Lab Prep

  7. Packet Tracer Activity Wizard • Anyone can author, the PT Activity Wizard guides you • The process is basically write instructions, build a correct answer network, specify grading, specify an initial network, save • Ability to create your own learning activities, tasks, labs, games and complex assessments • Build scaffolded learning experiences, formative and summative assessments

  8. Activity Wizard for Editing PT Activities Instructors can localize, edit or enhance existing activities using Activity Wizard

  9. Packet Tracer: Key E-Learning Component • Learning theories stress early hands-on experiences • Key components of Networking Academy e-learning strategy include In-person, hands-on labs with real equipment Online curriculum and assessment Packet Tracer Instructor Collaboration Tools • Learning cycles alternating both Packet Tracer activities and in-person, hands-on lab experiences with real equipment are a best practice for teaching CCNA-level networking to beginners

  10. Integrated into CCNA Curricula Students launch PT directly from CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration to access activities that reinforce the curriculum

  11. PT 5.0Key Features

  12. Packet Tracer Features  • Logical and Physical Workspaces • Real-Time and Simulation Modes • User friendly CLI • Global event list (packet sniffer) • LAN, switching, TCP/IP, routing, and WAN protocols • Activity Wizard, Lab grading • Multiple platform support • Multiple language support • Integrated Help and Tutorials

  13. Moving to PT 5.0 – What’s New PT 4.11 PT 5.0 • Simulation and visualization of commonly used CCNA-level protocols • Activity Wizard allows field authoring and localization of activities • Win 2K, XP platforms • Used in lectures, labs, homework, assessments • Free for all students and instructors • Existing features plus: • Additional Protocol Support (e.g., IPv6) • Additional Platform Support (Linux, Vista) • Multiuser Capability

  14. New Features in Packet Tracer 5.0 • Expanded platform support • Windows (Widows XP, Windows 2000) • Vista (Vista Basic, Vista Premium) • Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora) • Enhanced protocol support • Expanded list of protocols to reflect current networking trends and practices in industry and government • More support for teaching CCNA-level commands • Deeper modeling for existing protocols • Multiuser functionality • Enables social learning instead of students working alone • PT 5.0 is now a network-capable (peer to peer) application • Supports collaboration, competition, remote instructor-student interaction, social networking, gaming

  15. Packet Tracer 5.0 Protocol Support HTTP, TFTP, Telnet, SSH, DNS, DHCP TCP and UDP IPv4, ICMP, ARP, IPv6, ICMPv6 RIPv1/v2/ng, Multi-Area OSPF, EIGRP, Static Routing, Route Redistribution, Multilayer Switching Ethernet (802.3), HDLC, Frame Relay, PPP STP, RSTP, VTP, DTP, CDP, 802.1q, PAgP 802.11 *New in PT 5.0

  16. Packet Tracer 5.0 Multiuser Functionality • PT 5.0 is now a network-capable (peer to peer) application, using the real network (TCP socket connections) to carry the Packet Tracer virtual packets • The PT application running on one computer can communicate with the PT application running on 1 or more other computers • This connectivity between multiple instances of PT supports teamwork, classroom games, collaboration, competition, remote instructor-student interaction, and social networking

  19. PT 5.0Key Benefits

  20. Packet Tracer 5.0 Key Benefits • Makes teaching easier by providing a free, multiuser environment for instructors to easily teach complex technical concepts • Makes learning easier by providing a realistic simulation and visualization environment for exploration, experimentation and explanation • Instructors and students can create their own virtual “network worlds” for teaching and learning networking concepts and technologies

  21. Key Instructor Benefits • Ability to teach complex CCNA-level networking concepts • Demonstrate technologies and configurations • Author custom guided activities, labs and assessments with immediate feedback using the Activity Wizard • Use for lecture demonstration, individual and group labs, homework, assessments, games, network design, troubleshooting and modeling tasks, reinforcement of hands-on lab activities, case studies, competitions • Supplements classroom equipment and provides complementary learning opportunities that are not possible in the classroom alone • Visualization, animation and detailed modeling provide a teaching environment enabling exploration, experimentation and explanation in new visual ways • Supports self-paced learning outside the classroom • Supports social learning processes via multiuser collaboration and competition • Overall enhanced student satisfaction and success, adds additional value to attract more students to program

  22. Key Student Benefits • Provides a free practice and visualization environment for the design, configuration and troubleshooting of network environments • Exploratory development environment for CCNA-level concepts and protocols • Design, build and configure your own network with drag and drop devices • Observe virtual packets real time as they travel through your network • Allows practice outside of the physical classroom and lab (can be run on home computers, mobile laptops) • Practice your problem-solving and troubleshooting skills at your own convenience • Create and configure much larger topologies than possible with physical equipment available • Provides a rich learning environment beyond standard networking technology instructional practices • Explore concepts, conduct experiments, test your understanding • Provides valuable hands-on expertise to help you succeed in the classroom and on the job • Multiuser functionality provides more collaboration, competition and fun learning opportunities

  23. PT5.0 Summary

  24. Impact Summary of New PT 5.0 Features

  25. Packet Tracer 5.0 Key Take Aways • PT 5.0 makes teaching and learning networking technology easier • PT 5.0 is a key Networking Academy e-learning component • PT 5.0 is not intended to replace experiences with real equipment, but rather to complement them • PT 5.0 is a laboratory for teaching and learning; you can experiment, you can create your own virtual network “world” • PT 5.0 is going social with multiuser functionality; it isn’t just what you do yourself, it is what you can do with others too
