Cisco Packet Tracer

Tonight, a little while ago I downloaded the latest version of Cisco Packet Tracer after enrolling in a self-paced two hour free course in Cisco Networking Academy and Skills For All (which is also a Cisco website).

Cisco Packet Tracer is network simulation and virtualization tool and I tried to build and model my own network.

Allah Akbar...Allah is great.

Cisco® Packet Tracer

Yesterday (Friday 1 October 2021) was the 33rd Anniversary of my favorite company Dhiraagu and I just wanted to celebrate it on my own...

So I built my virtual network using Cisco® Packet Tracer 7.7.2..The latest versions of this freeware software can by downloaded in www.netacad.com which is Cisco® Networking Academy website...

I added my desktop computer as an end device and a router (which a little later I deleted and added a home wireless router) and a smart phone...This is my own personal network and online systems...

I almost never had any trouble using Dhiraagu services and it's very frictionless...Mostly customers play around the provided equipment and than the problems surfaces especially in Male'...But we Maldivians will never be satisfied and make complaints and say dirty words against Dhiraagu...

I have reconnected my internet months ago...Can no longer spend time without doing work on my own business...My clients Shiyaz and Adam who are close old friends needs work to be done...Also my close old friend Shafittey requires that I need to reconnect my internet...I am still in financial trouble but there is simply no choice...

I saved the Cisco® Packet Tracer activity file as Naheez.pkt and this is the very first time I did that...

I have configured my own network, wi-fi and online systems as secure as I can...The router firewall is set to high and using public DNS services offered by major providers...The MAC (Media Access Control) is tied to the private static Internet Protocol (IP) of my computer and smart phone...My LAN(Local Area Network) has only 3 devices including my Huawei® router which I bought from Dhiraagu...The other two devices are my Lenovo®/IBM® and genuine Microsoft® Windows® 10 Pro desktop computer (which is now very old and it's 12 years I have begin using it, Lenovo® has issued end of life for this lineup), and my Samsung® Galaxy™ A70 dual sim smart phone...

I downloaded and used this version of Cisco® Packet Trace in 2019 when I did a non credit course in www.coursera.org with funding arranged by Coursera®...It's technical and was easy to me while I did the activity and lab work...

wow

Allah Akbar...Allah is great...

Lucidchart®

I was searching for a free online web based and cloud network design software and came across Lucidchart® and signed up using my Google® Account, then linked it to Microsoft® Account and GitHub®...

I opened a test network drawing diagram of CISCO® and it was excellent as the network topology was demonstrated online in my Google® Chrome™ browser...
