Okay so I could use this console cable so let's try that once again.

Hopefully when blue screen.

So on the P.C. I'm going to connect the USP console cable and then I'll connect this to the console

of the router.

So basically connected to the console of the writer and to the USP of the piece.

Okay.

So once again right click on windows start.

Go to Device Manager I've got a additional comport.

Now it's not showing up as com for the whole process once again is to start Patty

select serial serial port that I'm going to use is com for click open and what I've got now is a connection

to a broader if I type show version this shows me that the road is running Cisco OS X E software version

16 0 3 0 3 Pressing spacebar I see a whole bunch of additional information and I can see that this is

a Cisco HSR for 321 b k 9 router so that is an example of a Cisco Radha I can type enable once again

I can type confetti to go to global configuration mode type end to go to privilege mode type disable

to go back to user mode so use a mode type enable to go to enable or privilege mode type confetti to

go to global configuration mode you have to configure the device in configuration mode or global configuration

mode and they are sub modes after that I'll show you those later and then end takes me back to enable

mode disable takes me to use a mode and then I can type exit to exit out of the rotor I am connected

to console 0 of the rotor but now let's get you to do this.

So what I'm going to do is start Packet Tracer please make sure that you've downloaded packet tracer

and that you've got access to Packet Tracer because I'm going to show you how to do something very similar

using Packet Tracer.

So when Packet Tracer boots up I've got to log in I've shown you in separate videos how to do this

okay so the physical rather that I'm using is a Cisco type enable here show version allows me to see

what type of rudder it is it's a Cisco ISIL router once again show the for short we'll show version

full command.

This allows me to see what type of Roorda I'm using it's an eyesore 43 21 in Packet Tracer there have

I saw 43 21 rotors so if I click on the rotor you'll notice that this looks very similar to the physical

rotor that I have right here and if I click on CSI you'll notice that once this boots up that it's very

similar to the rotor that I'm using now when a device boots up once again and it doesn't have a safe

configuration we'll see this initial configuration dialog type no to bypass that and on this right if

I type show version and press spacebar you'll notice this looks very similar to my physical router so

here's the physical router and here's the packet tracer router.

Notice how that looks very similar to this slight difference in output but very very similar.

Now we'll talk about configuration registers late in the course.

This has actually been changed to 2 1 4 2.

The default is 2 1 0 2.

But again we'll talk about that later.

So don't worry about it now we can see licensing information on the packet tracer Road a similar kind

of information on a physical rather I specifically once again bought this rather because it's available

in Packet Tracer.

Now you don't just click on a ride in the real world to connect a console connection to the rider what

you actually need to do is have a console cable.

So what I'm gonna do is add a P.S. to my packet tracer topology and then I'm gonna go to connections

and notice this blue cable is a console cable.

I'm going to connect the iris 2 3 2 interface to the console of the rotor.

Now riders have what are called the auxiliary ports and console ports auxiliary ports in the old days

we used to connect modems to a rider so you could phone the rider to use an outer band connection to

configure it not use that much these days but notice now on this P.C. if I click on the P.C. and go

to desktop and I'll just make this bigger I can select terminal.

This is what's called the well-known defaults for a console port on Patty as an example.

If I right click and go change settings connection serial you'll notice these values are the same as

these values in Packet Tracer.

So this is the physical router.

This is Packet Tracer.

Now there is one difference you'll notice flow controllers X on X.

Generally that should be set to None.

And that might be what's causing the problem.

So these are the values that you generally want to use.

So click Okay.

So what you'll notice now is I've connected to the router using packet tracer and that looks very similar

to putty.

So this is Patty show version.

But once again that's crashed so flow control didn't help so my laptop crashed once again looks like

that he was b connection isn't very good but what I wanted to show you is once again this is Packet

Tracer.

Show version looks very similar to a physical router if I open up device manager once again and look

at my console ports here my various console ports so com for if I remember right is the router open

that up again run Patty again go to console for here is my Radha so show version on the road.

You'll notice it looks very similar to Packet Tracer back and Packet Tracer looks very much the same.

So the great thing about packet tracer and what I'll do is I'll just turn off this physical rudder right

now so that the room becomes quieter and that we don't have it crashing my windows laptop again.

The great thing about Packet Tracer is you can test this stuff as if you connected to real devices.

So let's add a switch that you can see the switches.

He has a 36 50 switch again in putty.

I'll open up a new session and I'll connect to let's say come three sit come three.

One of my USP connections this is a 35 60 seat switch show version that went a bit quick but notice

at the bottom here 35 60 in Packet Tracer.

He has a 35 60.

So what I could do as an example is add another P.C. to my topology and then go to connections select

console cable and connect to Iris three to cable to the console port of the switch on the P.C. go to

desktop go to terminal select the defaults and what you'll notice is we see a switch booting up and

you can see the full process I'll go right to the beginning can see here the switch is starting up and

that looks very similar to real physical switch booting up and then we get the initial configuration

dialog I'll say no to bypass that and notice I'm on this packet trace switch which is a 35 60 24 port

switch going to my physical switch this is a slightly different switch and what I want you to see and

I'll put these side by side is packet tracer is very very similar to a real switch.

So on a real switch all top exit we get console port is available packet trace a top exit we get console

is now available press Enten packet tracer press enter on the real switch type enable top enable top

committee top confetti Top End here top end here.

Press question mark on this side press question mark you'll notice that it looks very much like a real

switch real switch gives you the the real thing.

It's the best way to do things but not everyone can afford to buy a bunch of switches so packet traces

all you need you can connect to the consoles of multiple devices by adding pieces to your topology but

you don't have to do that on a switch like this you could just go to the CSI now it has to be powered

on so I have to add a power module to this specific switch but if I click on C Alina I can see the seal

of the switch without having to actually connect a console cable to the switch so packet tracing gives

you two options you can either do it this way or you can simply click on the switch go to CLIA and see

the CLIA directly without using a console cable but this replicates or simulates what happens in the

real world in the real world you can just click on a device to access the console you have to physically

connect to it either via the console or remotely using telnet or SSL.

Okay that was a long video but hopefully up now showing you how to connect to the console of routers

and switches using multiple options I've shown you how to use the old way of doing it roll over cable.

I've shown you how to use USP to roll over cable.

I've shown you USP cables directly to switches us be obviously much easier and much better today.

And that's the preferred way to do it but if you come across an old roto switch you may need to use

one of these not as good as you is be but there you go.

Okay but make sure that you can get this working make sure that you can connect your P.C. in packet

tracer to the console of the road and a switch and gain access to the device.
