Cisco Systems have been successfully developing cross-platform tools. Especially for users to create network topologies, simulate Cisco router and switches called Tracers. If you think of a scenario where a new office is to be set up. The Cisco Packet provides you with a layout for networking (LAN's) on your MAC in the office. It also allows the user to switch between networks and create interchangeable router networks. 
In this tutorial you will learn a step by step guide to download and install free Cisco packet tracer for your MAC OS.

Conducting network tests on real hardware can be an expensive process. In such situations, Cisco packet Tracers come in very useful letting users conduct virtual configurations of routers, switches, and other networking devices virtually.
