Basics of Cisco Packet Tracer (Part 1)

hello everyone welcome back to the next lecture on computer networks and today we will see the basics of cisco packet tracer part one now we will see the outcomes of today's session in today's session we will be learning about how to download and work with cisco packet tracer and we will know the basics of cisco packet tracer we will establish an example peer-to-peer network using cisco packet tracer now we will see what is the cisco packet tracer before going into the cisco packet tracer we will now see what is the cisco it is a very popular software company and they are the leaders in networking and cisco packet tracer is an innovative and powerful networking simulation tool used for practice discovery and troubleshooting I will always tell myself and others to learn concepts both theoretically and practically rather than being mark oriented guys we must be knowledge oriented guys we must acquire a sound practical knowledge so that it will help us to crack network based interviews it will help us to attempt well in gate exams it will help us to solve any analytical questions and we are fortunate to have such a very powerful simulation tool that is the Cisco packet tracer because it helps us to understand networks practically now we will see how to download the Cisco packet tracer to download the Cisco packet tracer we are required to open any browser here I will prefer Chrome just click on google chrome and type netacad calm once you are done just scroll a little bit you will find the packet tracer option available here just click on this packet tracer option and you'll be given up to the page that directs you how to download Cisco packet tracer you can follow these steps in order to download the Cisco packet tracer the fascinating point about this is that you can just enroll to download the Cisco packet tracer where this enrollment has some benefits the benefits are you can learn cisco packet Raziel for free of cost and it's a very short duration course and the length is just 10 hours and obviously you'll be in the beginner level you can learn online and it is self-paced learning mode and you can choose some languages that are available for free I will go with English just click on the sign up today and the language and it will prompt you to enter the first name last name and the email after you are done with your first name last name and email LD submit button will be enable click on the submit button and you can start learning and downloading the cisco packet racer I have already downloaded the cisco packet tracer but i am using an older version here if you enroll now you can use the latest version of cisco packet tracer I am using Cisco packet tracer 6.2 in our lectures after you download and install the cisco packet tracer just open this is co packet tracer so I will now open the cisco packet tracer so Cisco packet tracer is being opened yes now we got the Cisco packet tracer and this is the workspace where we are going to build a network and we have so many tools here for example if you click here these are all routers cisco has a variety of routers you can choose any of the routers you want since we are dealing with the basic concept you can choose any of the basic routers and if you want switches just click this one you will get a variety of switches and I will always prefer Cisco - 9 6 0 switch if you want house just click here you will get some hubs if you want to use some wireless devices in our workspace just click here so some wireless devices like wireless which is access points wireless routers cell phone tower and if you want some cables just click this you will get some cables and we are concerned about these two cables so this is straight through cable and this is crossover cable and these two cables are written in cables and this is a coaxial cable if you want serial cables you can go for these serial cables so in the initial part of our lectures we'll be dealing with this copper straight through cable and crossover cable if you want n devices just click here you will get lots of in devices like our traditional computers or desktop computers laptops servers printers voice over IP phones televisions wireless tablets smartphones and if you want security devices just click on this you will get security devices like firewall we will be exploring many of these things in this series for time being we will just take two computers and we will establish a peer-to-peer network to establish a peer-to-peer network I am taking two computers so after clicking on these n devices will get lots of in devices so let me click on this device that is our computer our desktop computer click on this and click here you can click again and click on the workspace so we have brought in two computers in our workspace what cable is used in order to connect these two computers just recollect the previous lectures in one of our previous lectures I have explained what cable should be used for connecting devices for connecting two different devices we have use ethernet straight through cable for connecting two devices of same kind we have to use crossover cable since these two are of same type so we have to use Ethernet crossover cable how to use crossover cable just go to the cables part that is the connections part and we have to click on this straight through cable or crossover cable since we are in a need of crossover cable just click on this crossover cable and come to this PC in this PC we will have an Ethernet port just click on this PC you will find two ports a one is rs-232 port which is a serial port and we are going to connect an Ethernet cable and to be precise it is a crossover cable so we have a port here that is the Ethernet port just click on this and again go to this PC and click on this PC in this PC where we are going to connect in this PC also we are going to connect in the Fast Ethernet port so we have taken a cable just visualize like this we have a CPU we have our computer and we have our cable this is like taking an Ethernet crossover cable and connecting it to the two Ethernet ports of the two different computers and if you want to know more about this just click on this PC and just go to the physical part this is the CPU portion of this PC just scroll a little bit you will find an Ethernet port here inserting that crossover cable into this port and similarly for this PC also we will have an Ethernet port so this is like taking a cable and plugging it into the exact port so far we have taken two computers we have connected an Ethernet crossover cable through these two computers now we will see whether these two computers are reachable or not but we are missing one thing now we have not assigned any IP address to any of these pcs now we will as in IP address to this PC just click on this computer go to the desktop option in desktop option you will find IP configuration just click on this IP configuration and we will give some IP address to this PC let it be 10.10.5.3 summit mask now we will mainly focus on IP address now anyway we will be dealing about the subnet mask in the upcoming just so I am a Zayn type latest to this PC which is 10.10 dot dot one and two this PC will be la st. 10.10.5.3 not 10.2 so now we have assigned IP address to both the pieces the IP address of this PC is 10.10 dot dot one and the IP address of this PC is 10.10.5.3 a so that it will be easy for us to understand so this is just a label it has no role to play with the networking concept this is the computer that is having the IP address gender 10.2 so this is 10 dot 10.10 dot dot N Da 10.1 now we will see what is the IP address of this PC what is the MAC address of this PC and whether these two computers are reachable please note I am working with this computer tender tender 10.1 now to know the IP configuration details we know what is the command that is used to view the IP configuration details to view the IP configuration details in the command prompt of the computer we are required to give IP config command just go to this PC now we are not going to configure the IP address to the PC rather we are going to see the impaired wrists we have to see what is the IP configuration so in that PC we have to go to the command prompt and the command to know the IP configuration is IP confid just click IP config and it gives the IP address detail the IP address of this computer is 10.10.5.3 will see what is IP address of this computer now just click on this PC go to the command prompt of this PC and give IP config so we are in the second computer and the IP address of this computer is 10.10 dot the physical address go to this PC the desktop this command prompt and give IP config space slash all and see what is the physical address of this computer it is 0 0 D 0 bc 9 6 C 1 C and this is the MAC address we know physical address are MAC address if you observe windows used a different notation Cisco is using a different notation Cisco uses dot as the separator whereas Windows used - as the separator but whatever it is MAC addresses are generally 48 bits now we will see the MAC address of this PC also just go to this PC click on the command prompt and give IP config space slash all here space should be provided but in Windows you need not give space whereas in packet is the simulation you have to give IP config space slash all and the MAC address of this computer is this so far we have seen how to see IP address and MAC address in the computers in cisco packet raiser now we will see whether these two computers are reachable or not now I will go to this command prompt of this computer and I will issue the command pink 10.10 dot dot - that is the destination computer and this computer is going to send four packets and it will receive acknowledgements for four packets let me open this computer command prompt and let me give three ing plain 10.10 dot dot - please note I am working in this computer which is having the IP address ten door 10.10 dot one and i want to check whether 10.10 dot and dot two is reachable from 10.10 dot and dot one so from 10 dot n dot dot one I am issuing ping 10.10.5.3 Ventor it sends four packets if connectivity is there it will receive four acknowledgments I will give enter now yes I am getting replaced for the four packets that are sent if you could notice it has sent four packets and it has received acknowledgement for four packets so the number of packets that are sent are four and the number of packets that are received is also four so four packets are sent and four packets are received and we have encountered no loss so there is zero percent loss here is in the cisco packet tracer awesome guys because this simulation tool gives the feel like we are working in the real device it's really a very powerful tool I recommend you always try things with cisco packet raiser or any simulation tool so this will certainly help you to understand the in a better way and that's it guys I hope now you know how to download and work with Cisco packet tracer with the basic level and we know the basics of Cisco packet tracer and we have established an example peer-to-peer network using Cisco packet tracer we have a lot of things to come in upcoming lecture please don't miss those lectures I hope the session is informated and thank you guys for watching [Applause] [Music]
