Recommended Lab equipment for Cisco CCNA

Hello Asim

I’m not sure I understand your question, but I will attempt to clarify. Packet Tracer is a programme used to simulate Cisco networks including routers, switches, PCs (including configuration of the NICs) and their interconnection and configuration. You install it on your PC and you can do all of your labs for CCNA level learning on this simulator. You can find the software and more information at https://www.netacad.com/about-networking-academy/packet-tracer/.

GNS3 is another suite of programmes that allows you to more realistically emulate Cisco networks. Rene has several labs available at his other web site that he mentioned, and you can use it to more fully take advantage of all of the functionalities of Cisco network equipment.

Packet tracer is more than enough for use with the level required for CCNA.

I hope this has been helpful!
