How to use Packet Tracer - Beginners Guide

[Music] you [Music] welcome to the beginners tour for cisco packet tracer quickest way to find the download link is to just google cisco packet tracer and you'll get to Cisco Network Academy who hosts the software all the instructions they actually give you a training course like a beginner's introduction also various features such as Internet of Things so well worth taking those courses also this is just a quick get you started and give you a familiarization tour of the packet tracer so you'll click on the link now you'll need to open an account it's free to get an account with Cisco comm and Cisco Network Academy that gives you access to the software and also all of their tutorials and there's lots of other goodies that you can look at in your own time so you're in enroll if you've already done that as I have you can just log in then to the Cisco Network Academy you don't get access to the network academy training courses be unless you're a member of Cisco Network Academy and taking their CCNA or CCMP courses now once you've logged in you'll be able to access the software and all of the download instructions obviously read the download instructions and find out which is the correct version that you'll need for your software version and also if you'll run in a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows I'll there skip the download because I'm sure you're familiar with how to click on software and how to download it and further down here you can see the information about the packet tracer beginners courses and I'm sure there's some other stuff there that they'll offer to sell you if you interested in Juden any paid training so i've downloaded the software and every time you start it from your desktop you'll be required to log in you'll use the same account password and login that you had for your download alright so this is the canvas here this is the area way you're going to be dragging any devices you can click on a lot all physical you'll normally spend most your time on logical and as with most software you've got a menu with various options at the top here we're only gonna go into a couple of these options you can go through those in your own time then down the bottom you'll see various icons and each one you click on will give you a different selection of devices for example I'm on the routers and switches and I can click on any of those for desktop PCs for cables your folders types of one connections like frame relay and as you click on each one you've got a subset of devices that you can also click on you're gonna spend probably most your time up here on the routers and switches this gives you access to the routers switches hubs and wireless devices look at any device that you fancy and then you can drag it onto the canvas here it has the device name and the model also this says 1941 which is the model of cisco router now if I go to options and then preferences I can actually tick what I'd rather be showing for example if I do or don't want the device names or the model labels I can tick off there's no Save button strangely enough so you'll quit out of it and you can see the model number has now disappeared I personally like to keep it on you choose whichever is right for you but I'd like to know what device is on configuring sometimes if you've got lots of devices the desktop can can get a bit messy then when you click on it you will see a physical version of the device as if you actually had it at home and you can see I've got some blank slots here I've got some ports for connecting ethernet and gigabit and modules and connectors I've dragged up a different device another Cisco device but a different model these will all look at the Cisco website if you want to see what they all do and what they're all for you can see this actually has blank slots so this is a modular router that you need to decide what type of modules you want I've turned the power off by clicking the button or pressing it and you can see you're clicking any of these modules you could actually drag them straight to the desktop whatever you click on appears in the bottom right also and you can drag the icon of the device over to the correct slot it will only fit in the slightest design for so the last slot here the fast ethernet module wouldn't fit into the one before wrong size and it's not designed to support that particular module now you can click on configure you can do some basic configuration if you so wish I don't recommend you use that particular facility it's quite basic and you can't do much change the display known to HQ router you've got interface divide a type of routing you can configure our whole bunch of stuff there and you can also change the IP address and subnet mask this is handy for devices that have no configuration capability for example if you're configuring an IP address on a lamp for the internet of things that's covered in the 101 and network plus labs all right so you can see there's a configuration being applied even though I didn't go into the router command-line interface it just did it through the options box at the top so I've got the physical view of my device here I'll just move it so we can get a nice for you if you go to options and preferences at the top you can change a few things one of the things you may want to change to suit your particular taste and how your eyesight is obviously some of us can see better than others you can make the font larger size and you can change the font type also so I've changed it to courier new I'm gonna change the iOS background to green it won't look very nice but I just wanted to demonstrate how you do it quit out that window and then when you click on the CLI which is a command line interface you can see it's very bright green with a black background I don't particularly like this I'm sure you don't either so we'll just take that back to the default which is a white background with black text so just resize my command line window and what we'll do is connect our devices together you can see the lightning arrow here it gives you all your cable options you can automatically choose you can see down the right it changes as you hover over each cable and you from whatever theory book you've read need to know which cable to plug in I'm gonna use a clock right on this left hand side so this would be my internet service provider and on the right I will have it as my office router that doesn't have a clock rate so to get rid of the clock the cable device connector there of pressed Escape and what I want to do is connect a one module to my router so I can connect a serial cable so I'll choose the wick to T here and I'll just drag it which slot you drag it into is your choice depending on which slot you choose it will have a different name for example serial 0/1 or serial 1/0 you can read Cisco's a sales website for more information on that or read any Cisco study guide if you hover your mouse over the device you can see what the interfaces are the IP addresses if you have any of the ipv6 addresses and if the interfaces are up or down so I'll go back to the cables and click on the clock for the left and I've connected to the serial end on the other side if I try to connect it to the serial the fast ethernet I get an error and you can see the little clock is appeared there that means I need to add a clock right to this side I've just dragged up a layer 3 switch just to show you that it's a completely different physical view and you can zoom in to see more information we won't be using that at the moment if I can click on the little X up here and just click no but anything I click on now I can delete off the canvas then I'll click back on the arrow and the far left I'll drag up a switch a 2960 from the canvas down here and then as I go across I'm looking for the correct cable type for example this is a straight through cable and I know from reading my study guides that this is the type of cable I want to connect a switch to a router there's some end devices here I'm going to choose a generic PC and again I'll use a straight-through cable to connect the PC through the Fast Ethernet port to the Fast Ethernet on my switch you've got a physical view here you can't actually see where the cables connected on the diagram it's just a physical representation of what it would look like if you had one locally so clicked on the command line for my router here the 1900 model initial configuration you will always type no here otherwise you're left with a menu of yes or no and and enter various answers to questions and the router won't work properly the first thing is I'll hit a question mark to see what my available commands are and you can see there's not many here so this means I mean quite a limited mode so I want to get out of this mode and the commander will type is enable that gets me from user mode to what's known as privilege mode and I hit the question mark if I want to scroll to the next line I'll just press the spacebar and there's a whole bunch of commands here and you can see the command has changed from a greater than sign to a pound key I'm going to use a show command here then I'll hit the question mark again and you see because there's quite a lot of options here I'll get the more sign at the bottom which means I can press the Enter key or the spacebar to see the next page if I don't want to see anymore I'll just press the Q key now I've typed the letter V and hit question mark and it show me every command that starts with the letter V I can type out the one I want or I can just type out some of the letters hit the tab key and it will finish off typing the commander for me it would do that oh if there's only one option that fits those particular letters that you've typed I wish you'd show version which tiles which tells me the software I'm running the version how much memory I have installed when it was less reloaded and how the license information a lot of useful information here and also the configuration register which your cover if you do in any CCNA level labs all right config T configure terminal means I'm gonna do some configuration I can type convict compte for short you can short on all of the commands as long as it's the only available option for those shortened letters that you use in press ENTER with the question markings you can see all my options and the route has changed to config mode I'm gonna try to configure an interface now so I'll type interface space question mark now got a lot of interfaces but as you know we've only got a cable connected to a particular interface I know it's a serial interface and I actually saw the name appear when I hovered my mouse over the device to get out of the mode you can type exit and it drops you back the next level if you just want to get to the pound's sign again you type end if I type show IP interface brief it tells me all my available interface is connected if they're up or down if there's an IP address and some very basic layer 1 and 2 information now if I issue the show controllers command it will tell me what type of cable I have connected so I've issued show control of serial 0 / 0 / 0 this is DC II this basically means it's a clocking and to the cable and I need to add a clock rate in order to synchronize the connection between this device and the other end so interface serial 0/0 clock space rates these are all my options I'll just choose one of them it doesn't matter because it doesn't actually affect the speed of the link you're just the clocking of the link now I'm going to enter the IP address because I'm in config - IEF which means config interface mode you need to type out the IP address and I'll choose a simple one and you need to add a subnet mask 255.255.255.0 the no shutdown command is basically telling the interface to come up is to open up so it can pass traffic without that command the interface will stay down I'll change the hostname I'll type exit to drop my down one mode and I typed hostname r1 and as you can see at the prompt it changed from router to r1 so I've configured one side of the connection I'll go to the other side now and I'll do the same thing but I just need to miss off the clock rate command because this side of the connection it's as if you're in a commercial office and you've had installed a router and you'll connect into your internet service provider who's at the other side issuing the clock rate interface s 0/0 and I know it's that's the available option because I can hover over the device or I can type show IP interface brief at the router pound sign so I'm going to add the other address it can't be the same address as the other side so I'm just gonna run the next one available in the subnet 191 6 8 1.2 and I'll issue the no shits commands that's short for no shutdown and that's say now the interface has come up I'll just try to command here but it doesn't work on packet tracer you'll find it only really supports about 70 percent of commands you can use on live equipment the show history command shows you the last 10 commands that you've entered i've only entered 3 here so you can see i hit the up arrow down arrow and i can scroll through all the commands so this will save you time if you have to type out a command that you typed in just a few minutes ago or seconds you just hit the up arrow show IP interface brief shows me my interface numbers I actually clicked on one earlier in the menu system during the demonstration so I'll go into interface F 1 slash 0 which is short for fast ethernet 1 slash 0 I'll type no IP address which basically deletes the IP address of that interface I wanted to do that because it's the IP address on the other side the hostname is now r2 that makes it easy for me to remember which device I'm configuring at this particular time and then I'll ping 191 6 a 1 dot 1 and this ends 5 ping packets and I've got 5 responses you can see with the 5 exclamation marks and it says 100% this is very common command you'll be issuing on your network devices show start - config shows you what's in your memory on your router your memory that retains all the information now if I see of the show room this is in ram d ram so this is the live running configuration if i want to save the running configuration into memory so it's stored I'll issue the copy running - config space startup - config I could issue copy run space starts for short now officially the show start command you can see my running config has been saved so if I reboot the router now it will boot with the IP addresses and then your the configuration I've added now if you click on simulation mode what this does it shows you traffic crossing your network real time and it you can check all the protocols and services available in packet tracer they add more as time goes on now you can edit the filters so you can see ARP traffic OSPF rip we'll just do a quick demo distraction with ICMP you can take our intake practicals as you need them you so guys CMP ticked what I'll do is I'll go in and issue a ping from one side to the other and it will not start sending the ping packets until I press a little play button as you'll see in a moment so over on the right hand side router the HQ router sorry I don't have beam config mode so I'll type exit I'll type ping one nine two one six eight dot one dot two one press enter but I haven't got a reply at the moment that's because I'm in simulation mode and you can see the little envelope there for the simulator that represents the packet and then you can see the ping packet is sent and then return to reply is returned over on the right you can double click any of the packets it's all showing ICMP because that's all we take Tom to do our check-in and you can look at the various layers of the packet through the OSI model the little tick you saw on the envelope there just for a second means it was successfully sent and received all right so that's just a quick look at the simulation mode what a drag a paste server from end devices and then on the cables will connect the Fast Ethernet to the first available port on our switch now I've clicked on the server and you get a different set of options you get all the physical changes that you can make you can also click on your Ethernet interface and other settings and add IP addresses services you probably won't need to worry worry about too much until you're doing labs for HTTP and this server can act as a DHCP server TFTP dns you can turn it on or off and then enter your DNS records syslog security network time email and you can see early options here now depending on which lab you're doing and what you're trying to test you will turn on or off different services on the desktop you've got a bunch of different options there that you can do for example command line I'm gonna go over to the PC and click on desktop here you'll do wireless configuration a text editor firewall settings I'll just click on a command prompt and it will open up a window style command prompt in a moment typical command you would use for example is IP config or IP config space forward slash all so I'll Network slowly growing and as you get more confident I'm sure you'll add more devices and do more tests in and then devices I've just clicked down home at the bottom you can see a bunch of different Internet of Things devices there's a smart city which has a different set of options industrial and you can have card readers speakers I'll drag up a passive infrared motion detector and I'll drag up a lamp as well if you've got a hundred and one network plus labs we show you how to program all this stuff using the Internet of Things now these devices can actually connect to your switch so I'll click on cables and a straight-through cable and I'll just connect it to the switch there all these things can be programmed to come on or off and take various actions depending on how you code it all down here and end devices on the network devices sorry you've got a load of different wireless devices you have access points wireless LAN controllers cell towers home gateways I'll drag away access points and then we can connect it to our switch as if we were installing one at work so I'll just click on the port and connect it to a free port now you can configure all the devices with your SS IDs and passwords in authentication I'll just drag up and wireless devices a wireless tablet and then in a moment you'll see it connect to the access point with a wireless connection again all this can be configured with a whole bunch of different parameters and finally you can save your entire network give it a name as a packet tracer file and then come back to it later so this has just been a real quick introduction for beginners I hope to see you on our website it's 101 labs net or check out some of our books on Amazon thanks for listening
