Emulating WAN

To bring in more real-life scenarios, Packet Tracer has devices that emulate a WAN. Clicking on the WAN emulation cloud icon from the device-type selection box lists the following devices:

  • Cloud-PT: This device looks like a cloud in the toolbar, but under the configuration window it looks more like a router with several slots. The following modules are available for the cloud device:

    • NM-1AM: This module provides an RJ11 connector for connecting modems using telephone cables. The interface name of this module is ModemN, with N being the port number.

    • NM-1CE, NM-1CFE, NM-1CGE: These three modules provide an Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet interface respectively, through which the devices connected to the modem and cable interfaces can be accessed. Except for speed, all three modules perform the same function.

    • NM-1FFE, NM-1FGE: These two modules provide Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet for connecting fiber media. Functionality-wise, they perform the same function as the...
