1 00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:05,190 In this video I'm going to show you how to download and install Cisco Packet Tracer on a laptop 2 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,210 in this example I've got a Windows 10 laptop which I'm controlling from my Mac. 3 00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:27,380 That just makes it easier to do the recordings but I'm going to show you how to download and install 4 00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:29,900 Cisco Packet Tracer on this laptop. 5 00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:35,780 Now why would you want to use Cisco Packet Tracer Cisco Packet Tracer is firstly free you can download 6 00:00:35,780 --> 00:00:39,070 it by simply registering for a course on Cisco's website. 7 00:00:39,110 --> 00:00:42,130 You don't have to pay for the course you don't actually have to take the course. 8 00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:47,510 You simply need to register on Cisco's website and then you'll be able to download Cisco Packet Tracer 9 00:00:47,510 --> 00:00:48,220 for free. 10 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,770 So it's free software that you can run on your laptop it allows you to simulate quite complex Cisco 11 00:00:54,780 --> 00:01:00,590 typologies these days so you can run cisco rotors and switches you can run servers you can run pieces 12 00:01:00,890 --> 00:01:07,940 you can create fairly complex typologies if you studying for your CCMA as an example Cisco Packet Tracer 13 00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:11,030 is enough to pass the CCMA. 14 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,740 It's not perfect. 15 00:01:12,740 --> 00:01:19,700 It's a simulator rather than an emulator so it doesn't fully simulate the Cisco IAW but it has enough 16 00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:26,290 in it to give you a good foundation in networking and a good understanding of the topics for the CCMA 17 00:01:26,300 --> 00:01:27,440 exam. 18 00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:32,060 So if you're new to networking if you're new to Cisco I'd recommend that you start with Cisco packet 19 00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:39,440 tracer and then later on you can look at technologies or applications such as Gen S3 Cisco viral and 20 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:40,630 even G. 21 00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:41,050 Okay. 22 00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:45,230 Without further ado let me show you how to build a packet tracer lab. 23 00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:51,980 So the first thing I'm going to do is simply search for Cisco packet tracer and Google first it is the 24 00:01:51,980 --> 00:01:54,940 Cisco Networking Academy. 25 00:01:55,030 --> 00:02:00,570 Now they've recently changed the logging process on the Cisco network Academy Web site. 26 00:02:00,610 --> 00:02:04,530 In the past you had a dedicated email address for this Web site. 27 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,020 Now which users you have Cisco dot com log in and we're told that here to log in if you have an existing 28 00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:17,410 Cisco dot com account use that email and password to log in if not to use your network card email and 29 00:02:17,410 --> 00:02:19,010 password to log in. 30 00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:26,650 Now if you don't have an account scroll down and click enrol to download packet tracer. 31 00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:29,260 This course is an introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer. 32 00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:32,380 It's a good course but you don't have to go through it. 33 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,420 It's 10 hours in length. 34 00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:35,100 It is free. 35 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:40,630 But again you don't have to go through it if you don't want to go to sign up today and select English 36 00:02:40,690 --> 00:02:47,230 as your language and then put in your details such as your first name your last name and your email 37 00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:48,990 address. 38 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,270 This email address has to be valid because they will email you a link which you have to click on to 39 00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:58,780 complete the enrollment process. 40 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:04,390 So we told that we need to check our e-mail and click on the Get Started link to access your account. 41 00:03:04,420 --> 00:03:04,630 Okay. 42 00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:11,140 So here's my email from the Cisco Networking Academy I'm going to click activate account you now need 43 00:03:11,140 --> 00:03:12,910 to fill in your details. 44 00:03:12,910 --> 00:03:19,390 Now one of the pieces of advice that I'll give you is if you don't work for a company set the company 45 00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:22,180 name to self as in self-employed. 46 00:03:22,180 --> 00:03:29,800 So specify your country specify your password decide whether you want to get email notifications or 47 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:38,880 not put the capture information in and then click register. 48 00:03:38,890 --> 00:03:45,500 Now you can sign in with your email address specify your password and click sign in. 49 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,220 Now we're told that they were excited to have us join them. 50 00:03:48,220 --> 00:03:50,540 But we need to fill in some more details. 51 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:58,840 So as an example specify your agenda specify your state specify how many years of experience you have 52 00:03:58,870 --> 00:04:07,430 in I.T. or networking specify if you have a disability specify your birth date so they ask for quite 53 00:04:07,430 --> 00:04:11,480 a bit of information here specify your race if you want to. 54 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:18,600 I'm going to choose not to disclose that specify whether you've served in the military and click Create 55 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,540 Account. 56 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:25,390 OK so now that you've done that you can launch the course if you want to. 57 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,940 I'm not going to do that. 58 00:04:27,060 --> 00:04:34,980 I'm going to go to resources download packet tracer and what I'm going to do is download the 64 bit 59 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,780 version of packet tracer. 60 00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:39,260 This is version 7 dot to dot too. 61 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:46,250 They also have a linux version and a Mac OS version but I'm gonna download the 64 bit Windows version. 62 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:56,510 As you can see here it's downloading Okay so the file is downloaded here it is Packet Tracer 7 2 2 164 63 00:04:56,660 --> 00:04:58,550 setup to install it. 64 00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:06,890 So fairly simple process I'm going to double click on the application click install any way click yes 65 00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:14,670 to allow this app to make changes to my device you need to accept the license agreement so read through 66 00:05:14,670 --> 00:05:19,360 the license agreement and accept it if you want install the software and click. 67 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:25,920 Next I'm going to mainly stay with a default share to keep it simple as possible so I'm going to use 68 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,620 the default installation directory click Next I'm going to leave for the start menu folder after the 69 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:39,360 default click Next I'm going to allow the software to create a desktop shortcut and click next and then 70 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,770 I'm going to click install. 71 00:05:40,980 --> 00:05:44,310 So fairly basic installation. 72 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:49,230 Similar to lots of other applications that you would install on a Windows computer. 73 00:05:51,810 --> 00:05:57,480 The software is installed and I'm now told that for Packet Tracer skills based assessment to use this 74 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,830 version of Packet Tracer. 75 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:08,140 Please close all web browsers or start your computer when I click Okay shut my web browser and click 76 00:06:08,140 --> 00:06:09,490 finish. 77 00:06:09,580 --> 00:06:16,410 I'm told that I'm running Packet Tracer for the first time so files will be saved here. 78 00:06:16,780 --> 00:06:19,850 I can change that later but I'm going to click Okay. 79 00:06:19,930 --> 00:06:28,060 Packet traces now started and now I can log in with the same credentials that I use on Cisco's Web site 80 00:06:28,630 --> 00:06:38,330 or on the net a cad Web site so I'll specify my username I'll specify my password and click sign in. 81 00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:46,840 Now the firewall is blocking some features so I'm when to click allow access for private networks and 82 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,320 there you go packet tracer has now installed on my Windows computer. 83 00:06:50,470 --> 00:06:57,160 I downloaded it and installed it but now let's bolt some typologies Packet Tracer supports many devices 84 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,020 such as rudders switches hubs wireless devices and others. 85 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:07,660 He has a router so I'll click on the rotor and then click on the workspace area. 86 00:07:07,660 --> 00:07:11,590 I'll select another router added to the topology. 87 00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:13,260 Select a switch. 88 00:07:13,450 --> 00:07:23,290 Let's take a modern switch such as a 36 50 and drop that into the topology I'll select connections there 89 00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:30,650 various types of connections such as straight through cables crossover cables fiber cables and so forth. 90 00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:38,730 But I'm going to select straight through select the first Ethernet connection on my router selected 91 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:47,740 the first Ethernet connection on my switch I'll select straight through cable again select to the second 92 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:53,920 interface on the switch select to the first gigabit interface on the rider and I'll zoom in here to 93 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,200 make it easier to see what's going on. 94 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,650 There are a lot of options available and packet traces are under options preferences I can select this 95 00:08:02,650 --> 00:08:10,380 option always show port labels in a logical workspace so I can now see the interface labels in my topology 96 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,560 what I also want to change is the font because this is probably going to be too small for me so I'm 97 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:28,190 going to set the C Alai font to 18 and click apply and then close the stone you can move devices around 98 00:08:28,190 --> 00:08:36,460 in your topology you could rename them Sol rename this as root a one I'll rename this as root it too 99 00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:45,360 I'll rename this switch one if you don't like the way these interface labels are set up simply go to 100 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:45,840 options. 101 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:53,880 Preferences once again and then uncheck this option and then you can manually add your interface labels. 102 00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:01,920 You can also hide the rudder type by going to options preferences and on selecting this option show 103 00:09:01,930 --> 00:09:04,150 device model labels. 104 00:09:04,140 --> 00:09:10,200 But I want to keep device name labels so that I know the device names in my topology. 105 00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:15,000 I'll go back and display port labels for the moment. 106 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,990 You can remove those and then manually add interface labels so you may prefer doing it this way where 107 00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:31,450 you can control where the interface labels go so I'll do that just to make the topology nicer so something 108 00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:32,200 like that 109 00:09:36,250 --> 00:09:40,940 they're basically a lot of options here that you can use depending on your preferences. 110 00:09:43,540 --> 00:09:48,310 So there you go there's my topology but I'm going to do on Route 1. 111 00:09:48,510 --> 00:09:58,600 He's going to see a fly now I've set the font quite big but notice Rodda has booted and I can now access 112 00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,230 a router. 113 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:06,460 If you're not used to Cisco This is known as user prompt or user mode. 114 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:13,000 When I use question mark here various commands are displayed in Able is how I get to privilege mode 115 00:10:13,030 --> 00:10:17,960 or enable mode I can type a few characters and then press tab. 116 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,760 Question mark shows me other options but I'm simply going to type enable here. 117 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,020 This gives me other commands that I can use in this mode. 118 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:36,330 I'm going to type conf T which is basically configure terminal for short I use tab there to order complete 119 00:10:36,330 --> 00:10:40,950 commands I can change the name of the rider and actually this is right too. 120 00:10:40,990 --> 00:10:44,980 I'll set the hostname to rider to back in my topology. 121 00:10:45,090 --> 00:10:51,010 This interface is connected to the switch but to make it more logical let's start with the rider one 122 00:10:51,660 --> 00:10:55,720 so rider 1 CLIA make that bigger. 123 00:10:55,820 --> 00:11:00,650 I don't want to enter the initial configuration dialog so I'm going to say no and press Enter to get 124 00:11:00,650 --> 00:11:14,300 started type E N tab enter that takes me to privilege mode C O N F as in configure tab t tab enter takes 125 00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:18,980 me to global config mode on the rider I can now set a hostname. 126 00:11:18,980 --> 00:11:20,860 So this is a true s.t.. 127 00:11:20,860 --> 00:11:26,560 Tab are 1 change the hostname while the rider other commands exist in this mode. 128 00:11:26,570 --> 00:11:30,150 So question mark will show me the commands available to me. 129 00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:38,630 Now this rider has this interface which connects it to the switch so on rider 1 I can go on to interface 130 00:11:39,380 --> 00:11:45,120 gigabit and I'm pressing tab here to order complete 0 0 0. 131 00:11:45,260 --> 00:11:51,270 No shutdown enables the interface by default rider interfaces are shut down. 132 00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:59,000 IP address allows me to configure an IP address on the rider and I'll configure it with this IP address 133 00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:07,510 so I've configured the rider with an IP address of 10 1 1 1 subnet mask 2 5 5 2 4 5 2 4 5 0 and takes 134 00:12:07,510 --> 00:12:14,200 me back to privilege mode or enable mode and I should be able to ping myself on that interface. 135 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:23,710 At the moment it's not working because notice these interfaces are down the switch by default is powered 136 00:12:23,710 --> 00:12:32,490 off so in this case I need to take a power module and add it to the switch to essentially power on the 137 00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:38,200 switch and here you can see the switches now booting up. 138 00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:43,670 So once the switch is fully booted the interfaces will go green. 139 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,580 You can see this is green on this side orange over here. 140 00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:55,050 This side is still red because I haven't no shut the interface on right to switch interfaces by default 141 00:12:55,050 --> 00:12:59,100 come up right interfaces by default are shut down so you have to enable them. 142 00:12:59,850 --> 00:13:03,590 So on the router CLIA on right of one I can see the interface came up. 143 00:13:03,780 --> 00:13:08,580 So the rudder can now ping itself but let's go to Rod too. 144 00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:15,210 And I know this is not going to look great but I'm going to make this smaller so that you can see what 145 00:13:15,210 --> 00:13:19,010 happens when I know shut the interface on the rudder. 146 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:25,020 So on rudder to make that a bit bigger interface. 147 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,100 So I a.. 148 00:13:26,110 --> 00:13:27,240 Tab G. 149 00:13:27,260 --> 00:13:30,290 Tab so gigabyte 0 0 0. 150 00:13:30,550 --> 00:13:34,970 Notice please what happens when I type in no shut down. 151 00:13:34,990 --> 00:13:36,730 Interface went green. 152 00:13:36,910 --> 00:13:41,530 So I've enabled that interface ip address that I'll configure. 153 00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:49,580 He has 10 1 1 to mosque 2 5 5 2 4 5 2 4 5 0 hopefully right at 2. 154 00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:55,480 We'll be able to ping rider 1 once the interfaces have all gone green which they have. 155 00:13:55,620 --> 00:14:00,030 The reason why these interfaces were orange is because of spanning tree spanning trees a way to stop 156 00:14:00,030 --> 00:14:03,310 loops in a ethernet network. 157 00:14:03,420 --> 00:14:07,620 And in this case it took a while for spanning tree to converge. 158 00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:10,190 In other words make sure that everything was good. 159 00:14:10,410 --> 00:14:16,170 So I've successfully bolted topology using packet tracer 160 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:26,920 and I've successfully sent traffic from one router to another router through a switch in packet tracer. 161 00:14:26,980 --> 00:14:34,860 Last thing to do is save the configuration and you can do that by typing copy running conflict startup 162 00:14:34,860 --> 00:14:41,300 config and saving it or you can use an old command w r which is right. 163 00:14:41,310 --> 00:14:44,330 So basically writing the configuration. 164 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:51,510 So I've now bolted topology and packet trace so when I closed packet tracer I'm told that my changes 165 00:14:51,510 --> 00:14:52,290 will be lost. 166 00:14:52,290 --> 00:14:53,990 Do I want to save them. 167 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,510 And the answer is yes. 168 00:14:55,620 --> 00:15:03,950 So I'm going to save this as my first packet tracer lab and click safe. 169 00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:05,940 And there you go. 170 00:15:05,950 --> 00:15:17,130 Start packing trays up once again go to file open recent files select my packet tracer lab and I've 171 00:15:17,130 --> 00:15:25,850 been able to restore my packet tracer lab that I saved previously if I look at the CLIA of Route One 172 00:15:26,350 --> 00:15:35,860 we should notice that it has an IP address as previously configured show run allows me to see the running 173 00:15:35,860 --> 00:15:44,080 config of the rider and what you'll notice is that IP address is configured on gigabit 0 0 0 and now 174 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:50,950 that the links have gone green I should be able to ping rider to which I'm able to do this first ping 175 00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:57,970 times out because the rider has to opt for the Mac address of the other rider so that's normal behavior. 176 00:15:57,970 --> 00:15:58,840 Okay so there you go. 177 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:05,700 I've shown you how to download install and use Cisco packet tracer great software it's free helps your 178 00:16:05,710 --> 00:16:09,760 lot with
