Accounts
Packet Tracer requires a valid Cisco Networking Academy login for unrestricted use.
Without a valid account, Packet Tracer can still be used via a guest login which limits the number of times that files can be saved. Logging in removes all save restrictions.
Creating an Account
If you do not have an account, please go to this location and sign up for the free Packet Tracer training course.
