Packet Tracer Builder

Packet Tracer Builder is an extension that allows you to use JavaScript code to create networks.

It provides a code editor window and a set of simple functions that can be called to create, configure, and link devices.

For example:

addDevice("R1","2911",100,100);
addDevice("S1","2960-24TT",200,100);
addDevice("PC1","PC-PT",300,100);
addLink("R1","GigabitEthernet0/1","S1","GigabitEthernet0/1", "straight");
addLink("S1","FastEthernet0/1","PC1","FastEthernet0", "straight");

Produces:

You can also use loops and other JavaScript features to automate it. For example, to create 10 switches:

for (let n=1; n <= 10; n++) {
    addDevice("S" + n,"2960-24TT",n * 100,100);
}

But why???

This was dreamt up as a method to allow AI chatbots to automate the creation of Packet Tracer networks.
