I've been securing our Voice Infrastructure for a while now and I needed to refresh my Voice skills. There's a budget constraint in building my Voice/Collaboration Lab (especially during this COVID-19 pandemic) so I used Cisco Packet Tracer (PT) instead. PT has come a long way since my Cisco Networking Academy (NetAcad) days. In PT version 7.3, they've added new Cisco devices such as 4331 ISR, 3504 WLC, ASA 5506, run Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) and many more. You can download PT for free but you'll need to register to NetAcad first, which is also free. Just run and follow the installation wizard.
You'll need to allow PT in your personal firewall.
You can either login (sign up in NetAcad) for full functionality or login as Guest, which run limited functions. There's a simple "hack" for full PT access, just disable your PC Wifi/Internet connection, open PT and re-enable your Wifi.
This is my Voice/Collaboration Lab where I registered two 7960 IP phones using a 2811 router acting as Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express (CUCME). I'm using the CCNA Voice Lab Manual by Brent Sieling.
