How to Simulate IoT projects using Cisco Packet Tracer

by Monisha MacharlaJun 2, 2021Projects

In this tutorial, let’s learn how to simulate the IoT project using the Cisco packet tracer. As an example, we shall build a simple Home Automation project to control and monitor devices.

Introduction

Firstly, let’s quickly look at the overview of the software. Packet Tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks.

Steps to simulate IoT based Home Automation

Refer to this tutorial for installation and getting started for the first time.

2. Firstly, select Home icon at the left bottom corner and now choose the required Home components .

3. Drag and place the components

4. Additionally, you can change the name of Appliances by clicking on respective Appliances and select the config option. You have to repeat the same steps to rename the other devices too.

5. Thus now let’s establish a wireless connection. Go to Wireless devices and choose Home Gateway

6. Now copy the SSID of Home Gateway by clicking on the Home gateway.

7. Therefore It’s necessary to configure all devices to connect wirelessly to Home Gateway.

Hence you can achieve this by right-clicking a device-> Advanced->I/O config->select PT-IOT-NW-1W. Similarly, repeat the steps for other devices as well.

8. Then paste the SSID In each appliance by clicking on the config option. Similarly repeat the steps for other devices as well.

9. Now lets select IOT server as Home gateway to all appliances.

Click on Appliances->select Advanced->config->choose Home Gateway. Similarly repeat the steps for other devices as well.

10. Thus you can notice that all devices are connected to the Home Gateway

11. Now select smart device to Control and Monitor Appliances.

Select end devices at bottom left corner

12. Now connect your smart device also to your Home gateway

13. Thus your smart device is connected to your Home Gateway. Click on smart device and choose Desktop. You can now login

14. Finally, you can control and Monitor in the Dashboard.

Result

Summary

So In this tutorial, we have discussed How to control and Monitor using a smart device. We can get started with small projects and later learn to apply conditions as well. (Turn on Ac when the temperature is greater than 30).
