Packet Tracer for CCNA Wireless?

olaHalo

Was hoping to not have to buy any hardware for this exam.
Do any of the emulators have what the CCNA Wireless needs?
Casually looking I did not see any controllers in packet tracer...

I dont know. I know that you can use a vWLC from cisco. tie it to GNS3 or a real switch.

Here's one you can do in Packet Tracer -

Put a 2811 router and a laptop on the workspace.

In the 2811 router, add the HWIC-AP-AG-B module to the router in slot 0.
Turn the router back on.
Using the CLI, type the following commands:
Router>en
Router#config t
Router(config)# dot11 ssid ADMIN
Router(config-ssid)#exit
Router(config)# int dot11Radio 0/0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 172.16.10.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)#no shutdown
Router(config-if)#ssid ADMIN
Router(config-if)#exit

I went to the Laptop, removed the Fast Ethernet module, inserted the
"PT-LAPTOP-NM-1W wireless module, turn the laptop back on.
Under the Config Tab, type in the "SSID" name - ADMIN , Authentication is turned off.
On the router, you need to set up DHCP to give out addresses on the DOT11Radio interface.

Router(config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.10.1 172.16.10.10
Router(config)# ip dhcp pool Admin
Router(dhcp-config)#network 172.16.10.0 255.255.255.0
Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 172.16.10.1
Router(dhcp-config)#ip name-server 172.16.10.4
Router(config)# exit

Go back to the Laptop, Click on Desktop, check the bullet on Static,
then check the DHCP bullet, laptop will configure its IP stack.

I can now ping successfully from the wireless laptop to the router.
