A simulator, as the name says, only logically simulates the required environment. However, Packet Tracer is much more than that. It simulates devices physically too. You've read that a copper Ethernet cable has a range of 100 meters, but have you bothered to try using it? Getting a 100 meter wire and struggling with it is not at all required as we will do just that in this chapter. Do you find the device icons boring? How about spicing things up with your own icons and background images? We will show you all this and more in this chapter.
