Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,140 --> 00:00:07,770
In this video I'm going to show you some Packet Tracer tips and tricks.
2
00:00:07,810 --> 00:00:12,120
Please make sure that you go through this video so that you learn these tips and tricks.
3
00:00:12,130 --> 00:00:18,190
They will be especially beneficial when you use simulation mode in Packet Tracer.
4
00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:21,100
Now I'm not going to cover everything Cisco have this course.
5
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:26,910
Introduction to Packet Tracer so if you really want to learn how to use Packet Tracer then this is a
6
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:28,740
great course to take.
7
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:30,650
It's a free course once again.
8
00:00:30,660 --> 00:00:35,510
Well worth your time taking this course if you want to learn the ins and outs of Packet Tracer.
9
00:00:35,700 --> 00:00:40,800
In my course I'm not trying to teach you how to use all the features of Packet Tracer so we're just
10
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,070
going to use some of the features that help us get started and help us better.
11
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:47,450
Bold networks in Packet Tracer.
12
00:00:47,820 --> 00:00:53,400
So you can launch this course on Cisco's website and go through the course it once again covers a lot
13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:01:00,010
of features available in Packet Tracer so there's an introduction to packet tracer.
14
00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:04,640
You can learn about the user interface and how to use simulation mode.
15
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:09,280
We're going to use simulation mode as part of this course and I want to show you two important tricks
16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,700
before you use simulation mode.
17
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:15,710
But if you want to learn more about simulation mode once again have a look at this course.
18
00:01:15,820 --> 00:01:21,880
You can also learn about the physical view in Packet Tracer as well as assessments which we going to
19
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,380
use in this course.
20
00:01:23,380 --> 00:01:31,030
You can learn about IO T controlling smart devices and various other options in Packet Tracer such as
21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,190
creating and programming objects whole bunch of options are available in Packet Tracer.
22
00:01:36,340 --> 00:01:41,380
We only using a small subset of the features and Packet Tracer because that's all we need to build networks
23
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:42,840
using Packet Tracer.
24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,550
We concentrating on the configuration of the devices within packet trace of rather than learning about
25
00:01:48,580 --> 00:01:50,540
all the features in Packet Tracer.
26
00:01:50,950 --> 00:01:59,350
But that being said very important please go to Options preferences when you start a packet tracer.
27
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:02,240
And notice this tab miscellaneous.
28
00:02:02,410 --> 00:02:10,450
Please check this checkbox buffer filtered events only that will save you from having problems where
29
00:02:10,450 --> 00:02:14,380
the packet tracer buffers are overrun when you use simulation mode.
30
00:02:14,380 --> 00:02:16,390
If you don't know what that is don't worry.
31
00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:21,460
Take my advice and check this option under interface.
32
00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:27,250
There are various options where you can show device model labels show Device name labels you can show
33
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:33,850
port labels in the logical workspace something that I find very useful is under font and make the fonts
34
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:36,190
a lot bigger for the CLIA.
35
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,820
So I'll set this to 16 as an example.
36
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,830
You can change the font used.
37
00:02:41,860 --> 00:02:46,450
You can change the size of the menus if you prefer.
38
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:51,940
But for me the most important option is changing the CLIA going to click apply and then I'm going to
39
00:02:51,940 --> 00:02:57,910
close this down we'll create a lot of networks together.
40
00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:06,860
But I just want to show you that we have routers switches hubs wireless devices and firewalls as some
41
00:03:06,860 --> 00:03:13,160
of the network devices available in Packet Tracer packet traces very versatile fantastic software free
42
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,600
once again from Cisco.
43
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:20,630
It does have some limitations but it allows you to build a lot of networks under in devices we have
44
00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:23,090
laptops and pieces as an example.
45
00:03:23,090 --> 00:03:29,610
So I could add a laptop to my topology and add a P.S. to my topology.
46
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:38,910
I could go back to network devices and I could select a switch as an example and I could add a 36 50
47
00:03:38,910 --> 00:03:40,640
switch to the topology.
48
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:46,200
Now all be discussing network devices what routers are what switches or what hubs are in a lot of detail
49
00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:47,280
in the upcoming video.
50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,430
So don't worry too much about this.
51
00:03:49,470 --> 00:03:55,800
I'll also be discussing cabling types so clicking on connections I could grab what's called a straight
52
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:02,910
through copper cable and I could connect the first ethernet cable on my P.C. to a gigabit interface
53
00:04:02,940 --> 00:04:09,250
on my switch again don't worry too much about this if you don't know much about networking.
54
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:13,380
We'll be discussing a lot of these options in the upcoming videos.
55
00:04:13,410 --> 00:04:20,340
I'll grab another cable select another interface on the switch say gigabit once they try to connect
56
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,550
that to the P.C. on Fost Ethan at zero
57
00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:35,110
what I'll do on the specific switches click on it and I'll drag a power supply into the switch.
58
00:04:35,180 --> 00:04:39,140
The switch requires that you add a power supply to start it up.
59
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:44,810
And if I click on CSI I'll be able to see the switch put up again I'll cover a lot of these details
60
00:04:44,810 --> 00:04:45,910
later.
61
00:04:45,980 --> 00:04:49,820
What I want to point out however is that we have real time mode.
62
00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:56,000
This is stuff happening in real time and then we have simulation mode which allows us to see what's
63
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,380
happening behind the scenes.
64
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:02,460
We can actually see the traffic sent on the network when we use simulation mode.
65
00:05:02,540 --> 00:05:09,200
So I'm gonna go back to real time and I'm going to click on this P.C. and I'm going to go to config
66
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:11,540
Fost ether Ethernet zero.
67
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,830
Now again I'm gonna explain ethernet interfaces.
68
00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:15,860
I'm going to explain.
69
00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:16,610
IP addresses.
70
00:05:16,610 --> 00:05:22,070
I'm gonna explain cabling in the upcoming video so don't worry too much about this for the moment.
71
00:05:22,070 --> 00:05:30,550
What I'm going to do is configure an IP address on this P.C. and give it a subnet mask as follows.
72
00:05:30,550 --> 00:05:32,160
Again don't worry too much about this.
73
00:05:32,170 --> 00:05:39,220
I just need to configure an IP address to show you one of the options in Packet Tracer.
74
00:05:39,220 --> 00:05:46,040
If I go back to desktop command prompt this gives me a prompt similar to what you'll have in windows
75
00:05:46,220 --> 00:05:52,220
and if I Ping An IP address like this the P.C. will send traffic into the network but I don't actually
76
00:05:52,220 --> 00:05:55,280
see anything except the results.
77
00:05:55,910 --> 00:06:02,630
If I configure this laptop with an IP address and again don't worry too much about what I'm doing here
78
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:07,850
I'm going to explain all of these options in a lot of detail in a moment.
79
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:15,840
So I've given this laptop an IP address that ends in two when I go back to the desktop and ping that
80
00:06:15,870 --> 00:06:17,180
IP address again.
81
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:24,980
I get a reply from the laptop ping basically just sends a message into the network saying Are you there
82
00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:31,550
in the first case because I hadn't configured the laptop with an IP address the request time docked.
83
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:38,810
In other words I know that the laptop wasn't there in the second example when I pinged the laptop I
84
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:40,400
got a reply back.
85
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,830
So basically I'm saying hello are you there.
86
00:06:42,830 --> 00:06:47,750
And then the laptop is replying back saying Yes I'm here and that's why I get a reply back from the
87
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:52,250
laptop because I configured the laptop with the IP address that the piece is pinging.
88
00:06:52,250 --> 00:06:57,230
So it worked in the second example but notice I'm just seeing the results.
89
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,440
I'm not actually seeing what's going on on the network but if I go to simulation mode what I'll see
90
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:12,620
now is when I ping the P.C. it basically pauses packet tracer and I see a packet.
91
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,890
Now I'm not seeing all the options.
92
00:07:14,910 --> 00:07:23,610
I'm going to click here to pop that window out and notice we can see a whole bunch of protocols.
93
00:07:23,700 --> 00:07:30,450
So what we're gonna do is click Show or none a notice of visible events is now set to None.
94
00:07:30,510 --> 00:07:34,530
If I click that again I'm going to see a whole range of protocols.
95
00:07:34,860 --> 00:07:40,320
We'll talk about what protocols are later but essentially we're going to see a whole bunch of information
96
00:07:40,350 --> 00:07:44,310
which may cause problems when you run packet tracer simulations.
97
00:07:44,430 --> 00:07:50,940
You basically going to overrun packet tracer with messages so click on this option show or none and
98
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:57,960
then go to edit filters and only select the protocols that you need for that specific simulation or
99
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,110
demonstration.
100
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:06,540
So if you're following me or you're trying things only select specific protocols I know that ping uses
101
00:08:06,570 --> 00:08:08,580
ICMP as an example.
102
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,300
So I'm gonna select that protocol and click close and now I'm going to double click here to pop the
103
00:08:14,310 --> 00:08:15,730
window back in there.
104
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,020
I see the specific packet and I can click next to send it into the network.
105
00:08:21,150 --> 00:08:29,070
I could also do that by popping this window out and clicking play or click this option to go to the
106
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,350
next event in the network.
107
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:39,420
So notice the packet is now being sent to this P.C. if I click back it basically takes me back to the
108
00:08:39,420 --> 00:08:45,610
second event back takes me to the first event so second event.
109
00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:50,760
Third event I can click on the packet to see what's going on.
110
00:08:50,790 --> 00:08:51,750
A lot of detail here.
111
00:08:51,750 --> 00:08:53,530
Don't worry too much about it.
112
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:59,630
We've got a Western model we've got inbound new protocol data unit and outbound protocol data unit.
113
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,560
We're going to be spending a lot of time discussing what these options meet.
114
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:07,560
Don't worry too much about it once again for the moment.
115
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:15,160
So big advice if you don't see the options to UN select protocols click on this little window to pop
116
00:09:15,210 --> 00:09:17,170
the simulation panel out.
117
00:09:17,310 --> 00:09:19,390
Click show all or none.
118
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:26,160
So we've got all protocols selected now under show no protocols and go to edit filters and I'm only
119
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,340
gonna select the protocols that I want to see which could be set up an ICMP and I'm going to close this
120
00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:36,060
window and now I'll only see those two protocols.
121
00:09:36,060 --> 00:09:37,830
So if I get back to real time
122
00:09:41,420 --> 00:09:46,850
and that ping on the P.C. is now complete it if I do that again.
123
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:50,460
But before I press enter I'm going to click on simulation.
124
00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:57,130
Notice it's remembered the events that I want to filter and I press enter again.
125
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:03,310
I see ICMP I'm not seeing opera and there's a reason for that which I won't go into right now.
126
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:11,630
Basically the piece is remembered information so I don't see OP messages but I don't want to confuse
127
00:10:11,630 --> 00:10:13,880
you at this point so I'll discuss that later.
128
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,380
In a lot of the labs I'm going to tell you to uncheck a whole bunch of protocols and only enable certain
129
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:24,680
protocols so I'll help you through this but you can always enable certain protocols.
130
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:30,260
If I'm showing you those in a demonstration and you don't see them OK.
131
00:10:30,310 --> 00:10:36,000
So my big tips are to go to Options preferences miscellaneous.
132
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,800
Make sure that you've clicked this.
133
00:10:38,810 --> 00:10:44,010
Option 2 buffer faulted events only on the interface option.
134
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:51,540
If you uncheck this always show port labels in logical workspace you won't see the interface names in
135
00:10:51,540 --> 00:10:53,820
your topology so if they missing.
136
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:57,480
Go to options preferences and select this option.
137
00:10:58,420 --> 00:11:03,130
Again if you struggling with packet tracer doesn't make sense you're not sure how the user interface
138
00:11:03,130 --> 00:11:04,060
works etc..
139
00:11:04,210 --> 00:11:10,210
I suggest that you go through this course on Cisco's website at least go through some of the modules
140
00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:16,030
so go through chapter one to Chapter 4 so that you learn the basics of the Cisco Packet Tracer interface
141
00:11:17,940 --> 00:11:23,670
you can always ask questions but this will save you a lot of time and a lot of frustration if you understand
142
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:26,010
the basics of Cisco Packet Tracer.
