in CCNA & CCENT
Ok... I'm confused.. I thought Packet Tracer was a free program from Cisco... but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
The last place I found to download it required me to have an account with Cisco... I already have an account, but it's not an academic account... it's just a basic account.
Where can I get this? I'd like to try it out... I've got GNS3... but everyone seems to be using Packet Tracer... and I'd like to check it out.

I like GNS3 more. As it's an emulator, not a simulator.
Packet tracer is only available for Cisco Academy students and alumni.In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

Packet tracer isn't that good past CCNA.
Get GNS3, and buy a few switches. GNS3 doesn't switch well.In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

I have GNS3... I also have a 1720 and 1721... I have Netgear FSM726 managed switches as well.
I already have experience with Cisco equipment.... I just wanted to make sure I had all the stuff... and I've been curious about Packet Tracer... since I've seen a lot of posts about it. -

Packet Tracer is good enough for CCNA, if you have netacad account. -
