Optimisation des performances

# Optimize Packet Tracer Performance
# 1. Close unnecessary applications
# 2. Reduce simulation complexity
# 3. Use appropriate device models
# 4. Limit concurrent simulations

# Memory Management
# - Save projects regularly
# - Close unused projects
# - Use "Save As" to create backups
# - Clear simulation events periodically

# Network Design Best Practices
# - Use hierarchical design
# - Implement proper addressing schemes
# - Follow Cisco design guidelines
# - Document network configurations

# Project Organization
# - Use descriptive device names
# - Add network documentation
# - Create logical groupings
# - Use consistent naming conventions

Sauvegarde et récupération

# Project Backup Strategy
# 1. Regular saves during development
# 2. Version control with descriptive names
# 3. Export to different formats
# 4. Store backups in multiple locations

# Export Options
# File > Export > Image (PNG/JPEG)
# File > Export > PDF
# File > Save As > Packet Tracer Activity (.pka)
# File > Save As > Packet Tracer Network (.pkt)

# Recovery Procedures
# 1. Keep multiple backup versions
# 2. Test backup files regularly
# 3. Document configuration changes
# 4. Use version control for large projects

Cette feuille de triche complète de Packet Tracer offre une couverture étendue de la simulation réseau, la configuration des appareils, les concepts de réseau avancés, l'automatisation et le dépannage. Les scripts et exemples inclus permettent la conception de réseaux professionnels, des tests et des activités éducatives utilisant Cisco Packet Tracer.
