When Packet Tracer is missing a command

in CCNA & CCENT
For those of you using PT exclusively, what are you doing when PT does not have one of the needed commands?

    My recommendation is to see if you can't find an example of it on YouTube or something. You can always hit up one of the free rack rental sites as well to practice those few commands.

    The Packet Tracer labs in the Cisco Academy shouldn't use any commands that Packet Tracer doesn't already have. Have you asked your instructor?

    I thought that it was missing some commands. But the more i learned the PT, i realized that i was in the wrong interface. Still now and then i miss some commands, but with little help and research, i figure it out. For ICND1 and ICND2, PT is enough for you.

    Check out this guy's channel on Youtube. He does a lot with Packet Tracer. Look for CCNA 1,2,3, &4.

    There are a few areas where Packet Tracer is lacking for CCNA study. Off the top of my head I'd have to say, no SDM suport, EIGRP authentication, inability to configure SSH, I'm sure there are others I just can't remember at the moment. So it will suffice for about 85% of what you need, for the rest you need to have another solution on hand like real equipment, rack rental, or GNS3.

    Yea, I don't know why PT isn't a full complement and you should have to go to GNS3, but it ain't. I found a list of the ones missing from somewhere (below) but it would be nice to find a list of everything that's missing. Also for those who haven't found it, in PT > Help . contents > switch IOS there is a list of everything it will do. Danscourses are great though, he has a unique approach to tutorials.
