Packet Tracer 5.2

Packet Tracer 5.2 Beta Testing

In preparation for the launch of Packet Tracer version 5.2, we are looking for instructors who will help us test this new version. We have added several new features and protocols, especially in the areas of security and QoS.

We are asking instructors who would like to participate in this beta test to create and submit a test case. A test case is a framework that is used by our automated testing software to validate Packet Tracer functions. We run more than 3000 test cases against every release of Packet Tracer.

The process used to create a test case is the same as the process used for creating hands-on labs and instructor answer sheets: planning, writing step by step instructions, capturing output from the devices, and creating the instructor’s guide. The only requirement is that you need to use three of the commands and options on the new IOS command sheet.

After we train instructors for the beta test, we will focus more on feature testing, usability testing, multiuser testing, and Activity Wizard testing. We will schedule training sessions on new PT5.2 features in early March and will release the beta software for testing later that month.

We look forward to working with you on this phase of Packet Tracer development and we appreciate any assistance you can provide. Please send your completed test cases and a note about which three commands you used, along with your full name and the name of your academy to PT5@cisco.com. Please use “PT beta” in the email subject line. After we receive your test case, we will follow up with you on training times and dates.

If you have any questions or need some guidance or suggestions on building test cases, please refer to the Packet Tracer 5.2 beta testing discussion in the Academy Connection Packet Tracer support forum.

have just got my newsletter email from the Cisco Networking Academy. It talks about the upcoming version of Packet Tracer 5.2, which is going to be a huge and major change on a security and QoS line! Packet Tracer 5.2 is going to be a ready to use and an amazing tool that helps you to get ready for the new CCNA Security certification. Oh, btw, the CCNA Security curricula for the Cisco Networking Academy should be released already somewhere around this summer.

Right now (3.3.2009) I don’t have any additional information on this release. After a public beta version of PT5.2 will be released, I will drop some screenshots and a review here.

Check out the List of new IOS commands in PT5.2.

UPDATE (31.6.2009):

So finally I have dropped my hand on the new beta (4) version of PT 5.2. It seems to be pretty stable (so far). Some new features that I’ve just noticed concluded in few screenshots:

There is a kinda updated startup splash screen

It looks like new extensions are automatically detected and may be enabled with a simple user interaction.

What’s really new, is a new menu option available under Options->Algorithm Settings. It displays a window where you can set up some new security related features.

We can add to the list of the new features also the ability to change the device’s icon. So that we can have customized icons for different devices. I am already thinking about a real life usage of this feature while preparing new PT based assessments for my students.

You can also customize the security related settings even per device. I wonder why would I need per device fine tuning of these settings but hopefully I will find out soon

How could we talk about security without an AAA infrastructure. As you could have seen, PT was updated with new security related commands. Now you can do for example VTY access authentication against a central Radius server, export logging messages to a Syslog server, etc.

Packet Tracer is getting in this new release a really huge update on new protocols and features. If the development will continue like this, we can start teaching everything on PT But till then, we have a lot of real gears in our racks.

The new version of PT in version 5.2 should be release during this summer. Please do not ask me for download access. If you are a Cisco Networking Academy user, you will be able to download it from the academy connection website immediately after it will be released. If you are not a Cisco Networking Academy user, but want to access PT, contact the nearest Cisco Networking Academy in your area (or follow some older comments here ;-p).
