Setup Packet Tracer 8.2.2 op Linux Mint 22

Cisco Packet Tracer is een gratis netwerksimulatietool ontwikkeld door Cisco Systems, waarmee je virtuele netwerktopologieën kunnen ontwerpen, bouwen, configureren en testen in een risicovrije omgeving. Het je in staat om met diverse netwerkapparaten zoals routers en switches te experimenteren, netwerkprotocollen te simuleren en problemen op te lossen, zonder de noodzaak van dure fysieke hardware.

Vereisten
