# SetUp Stuff

## Packet Tracer - Cisco

Packet Tracer download from netcad.com.\
Simulator not an Emulator - OK for CCNA. My case is to do as many labs to get back into the groove after all these years (CCNP certified back in 2007) and have a crack at the new Cisco CCNP exam in 2 months!!

### Tips and Tricks:

* Options/Preferances/Miscellaneous
  * Tick "Buffered Filter Events Only" - Saves problems when running simulation mode where the packet tracer buffers or over-runs.
* Font TAB
  * Change CLI font to 10
