Question: Packet Tracer Use

Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to send a message but couldn't find a suitable email address.
I am at current in full time education studying for a degree in Computer Networks, on the final year. For my dissertation, i have chosen to investigate routing protocols (eigrp, RIPv2, OSPF etc).
Up until July 2013, i was part of the networking academy studying for the CCENT and CCNA qualifications, and as such have a copy of packet tracer.
What i would like to know, is if it is acceptable for me to use Packet Tracer to develop the network(s) for my dissertation and aid me in describing, analysing and comparing the different options for routing protocols?
Thanks

C'mon, give the newbie/noobie a break!
You have no idea how difficult it is to cut-and-paste someone else's answer and pass it to your faculty advisor as your own. The mere act of posting their school work question(s) on the forum is wrought with difficulty and danger. This means that the OP has to stop playing his console game, get someone (maybe an out-of-work nuclear physicist from Chernobyl) to write the opening thread above before getting his sorry azz off the couch to post this in the esteemed Cisco Support Forum.
And to Neale's question, the answer is YES.
And Neale, if you want a more detailed response (2500 words) that will guarantee you an A+, I am willing to share you my publication (written by me, of course) for a small fee of 250 Bitcoins. Please don't waste time as some of your classmates have already made contact. I've already provided them with a short essay (1500) which contains lines from Homer's The Eliad and translated in Rihannsu. (Don't worry, neither your classmates, faculty advisor nor your professor/instructor will know. They'll all come to the same conclusion that the phrase could be the new "buzz word".)

Is packet tracer 5.1 or 5.2 enough to simulate all labs of CCNP exams?

Now am practicing for BSCI and BCMSN.I don`t have any facility to do labs.
1) Is packet tracer 5.1 or 5.2 enough to simulate all labs of CCNP exams..?
And i could find layer 2 switchs in packet tracer 5.1.
2) ip helper-address will support in layer 2 switches..?

Hi,
Packet tracer 5.1 is good for practising labs for CCNP routing or switching and also you can try GNS3 for real time simulation of labs for CCNP and for your second question L2 switch supports VLANs, but cannot route traffic from one VLAN to another without help from another L3 device to do the routing.
You will need to configure a trunk port to whatever device you use for routing, and configure the ip helper-address on each subinterface or vlan interface you setup on the L3 device.
Hope to Help !!

How to create a packet by using java?

Hi, i am currently working on a research and i have some problems here.
1) how to create a packet by using java programming ?
2) How can i set the packet's information (e.g: packet's length, size of its header, etc) by using java?
I am currently in a midst of this now and i hope that someone is willing to correspond to my questions and help me out of it.
Thank you!

I wan to create a customize packet where the user can
define the header size, the packet's length etc. in
the program......Then you get to write it to the connection yourself. Look at the OutputStream classes to see how to write low level output to a connection.

Problem setting vty password in packet tracer

I'm trying to configure a vty password in packet tracer and I think I'm doing something wrong. These are the commands I'm using:
line vty 0
password test
end
When I do showrun I can see the command, but when I try to get access to the vty line, it never ask's me for the password. What am I doing wrong.
Screen shot included. Thanks.

As far as I know, you can't assign an IP address to an individual interface, but you can assign an administrative IP address to the switch itself. This screen shot is the commands that I used to assign an ip address, subnet mask & gateway. And I have done this on real 2960g.

Trying to troubleshoot with Packet Trace

Hi Folks,
Having a bit of issues, i am trying to access a http/https server from the Guest interface (10.10.10.0/24) to the Inside interface (192.168.190.0/24)
I can ping the server, but when i try to access it with http/https.. no luck
So when i am on the 192.168.190.0/24 network i have no problem using http/https to the server.
Inside: Security level 100 (VLAN1)
Guest: Security level 40    (VLAN23)
ASA version: 8.0(4)
ASDM version: 6.1(5)57
I have attached an image when trying to troubleshoot the access list entry from the 10.10.10.1 to 192.168.190.1.
But for some reason the packet is dropped..So i am wondering if i am able to ping the server when i am on the 10 network. Well then the rule shouldn't be wrong right?
Any tips and tricks, i prob missed something
Thanks
Shane

Yes sorry about that, you were right the output in the CLI is much better
Yeah and your were right about the .1, my bad Feel stupid..
I tried with 10.10.10.10 to 192.168.190.27 and the packet was allowed

Bug in packet tracer 5.3

Hi all.
I have a L3 switch in packet tracer. If i put the command "no ip routing" the switch can route.. Its a bug?¿¿?
I add a pkt file... If anyone ping from pc3 to , for example, pc1 ping works using the no ip routing command.
Regards.

The "redistribute" command works for all IP routing protocol groups
The format of the command is documented here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/iproute_pi/command/iri-cr-a1.html#GUID-9C67E447-FD2B-47E3-9A2C-334A41829A76
You have to identify the routing protocol (and AS, if applicable) that from which you intent to redistribute before adding any other arguments.
e.g.
redistribute rip (details)
redistribute eigrp 109 (details)
In your case, you omitted that and the command parser tried to interpret "metric" as if it were the name of a routing protocol.
"metric" is a valid argument (which is why the "help" works), but it needs to appear later in the multi-staged redistribute command.
Once could argue that Cisco should enhance the help to be more clever, but if you start with "redistribute ?" that step should be clear.

Troubleshooting Public Servers with packet-trace.

Hi, I'm new to Cisco, I've tried googling my problem but cannot find anything.
I am trying to setup Public Servers and my config looks great, but it doesn't work. I tried to packet-trace my config and I get an ALLOW when I use the same port from my source, but if I try with a different port, I get a DROP. I can't find where I can tell it to use any port from the source. Did I missed something?

How to packet trace a VPN

After installing a VPN I tried to see if outbound traffic was actually encrypted.
When the VPN is activated, ifconfig shows a new interface "tun0:" so I ran a packet trace against tun0. The trace was started with...
sudo tcpdump -i tun0 -s 0 -w VPNActivetun0.dmp
...and then Mail was started. Once mail had connected to the mail servers the trace was stopped and then formatted with...
tcpdump -s 0 -n -e -X -r VPNActivetun0.dmp
...and it contains lots of clear text including email account passwords being transmitted.
What am I doing wrong ?

I've also see that I'm tracing gobs and gobs of non-Internet packets, to and from 10.?.?.?. Do you know how I can filter these out?
Presumably your local network is 10.x.x.x, otherwise you shouldn't see these at all.
However, that said, if your local network is 10.x.x.x then you cannot tell tcpdump to blindly ignore anything to/from 10.x.x.x because that will include the very traffic you're trying to trace.
The best solution is to tell tcpdump specifically which traffic you DO want to see, either via IP address or port number.
For example, if you're trying to see what (if any) SMTP traffic (port 25) is going to/from your machine:
<pre class=command>sudo tcpdump -i en1 port 25</pre>
To see traffic going to/from a specific IP address:
<pre class=command>sudo tcpdump -i en1 host 1.2.3.4</pre>
You can also use the keywords and and not to further refine what traffic to look for. e.g. to watch all non-http traffic going to 1.2.3.4:
<pre class=command>sudo tcpdump -i en1 host 1.2.3.4 and not port 80</pre>

Where can I get scenarios for Packet Tracer?

I want to use PT to get used to commands. I want to start from easy router configuration to advanced (no more than CCNA-level for now). I have Packet Tracer, but where can I get scenarios along with guidance?

Hi There
What study material are you using. Usually the study material will give you lab scenarios to configure.
For CCNA level check out the following
1, Wendell Odoms ICND 1 and ICND 2 books.
(I have never seen these books, but Wendell Odom is a pretty well respected person in the Cisco certification circles and is CCIE. I have one of his CCIE books for my CCNP studies and find it really good.)
2, Todd Lammles CCNA study Guide, 6th edition.
(The 6th edition is geared towards the upgraded CCNA exam. I used the 5th edition of this book as part of my own CCNA studies.This will give you lots of hands on practice and you build up your lab up as you move through the book.)
3, The Byrant Advantage CCNA study guide.
(I have used Chris Bryant's study material for my CCNA and am still using it as part of my CCNP studies. I find it quite good and lab work books are provided.)
Be prepared though for some problems with Packet Tracer. For as good as it is, it does not have all the commands available. So you may come across somethings that you can not configure or get to work correctly.
If you have access to some IOS versions you should check out Dynamips/Dynagen, which is better than any simulator on the market.
Best Regards,
Michael

Packet Tracer 6.0 problem

How to open saved *.pka file on another PC? When I try I got message: "The file ... is not compatible for this version of Packet Tracer". I use version 6.0 on both PCs. Thank you.

It was a bug of version 6.0.1. Cisco says:
All NetAcad students using the student version of Cisco Packet Tracer (PT) 6.1 should upgrade to PT 6.1.1 as soon as possible. Version 6.1.1 contains an important fix to a bug and helps ensure the correct scoring of Packet Tracer Skills Assessments (PTSAs) in the CCNA Routing and Switching curriculum.
So I just upgraded my PT to version 6.1.1.
