1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,850 In this video I'm going to show you how to download and install Cisco Packet Tracer on a Mac. 2 00:00:04,980 --> 00:00:10,290 In this example I'm running Cisco is Catalina 3 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:27,310 now Cisco packet Tracy's free software that you can download from the Cisco website. 4 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,390 All you need to do is register for free course. 5 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:34,610 You don't have to take the course if you don't want to but you need to register and then you'll be able 6 00:00:34,610 --> 00:00:36,540 to download Cisco Packet Tracer. 7 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,990 So I'll show you how to register for that course how to download the software how to get it running 8 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:49,100 on a Mac how to create a basic topology and explain a few features within Cisco Packet Tracer. 9 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:54,950 So once again I'm running Mac OS Catalina I'm going to open up a web browser and I'm simply going to 10 00:00:54,950 --> 00:01:02,760 search for Cisco Packet Tracer my first hit is the network CAD Web site. 11 00:01:02,790 --> 00:01:09,870 So Medicaid courses Packet Tracer now in the past you had to have a dedicated logging to this Web site 12 00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:16,220 so you had a dedicated log in for the Networking Academy Web site that was different to Cisco dot com. 13 00:01:16,230 --> 00:01:18,750 Now this same log in is used. 14 00:01:18,750 --> 00:01:25,520 So if you have a Cisco log in you can simply log in to the Medicaid web site using your Cisco credentials. 15 00:01:25,590 --> 00:01:31,200 If you don't have a log in scroll down and click and roll to download Packet Tracer. 16 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,800 This course is an introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer. 17 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,680 It's 10 hours in length. 18 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,150 It's once again free. 19 00:01:38,370 --> 00:01:42,630 But you do need to sign up for this course if you want to download Cisco packet tracer and you don't 20 00:01:42,630 --> 00:01:44,040 have a Cisco log in. 21 00:01:44,250 --> 00:01:51,650 So I'm going to click sign up today select English and I'm going to specify my logging details. 22 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:57,850 So first name last name and email address. 23 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,450 Now you email address has to be a valid e-mail address by going to email you some details it has to 24 00:02:04,450 --> 00:02:12,890 be a valid email address so once I've done that and I've clicked submit I'm told to check my email and 25 00:02:12,890 --> 00:02:19,400 click on the Get Started link to access your account self now received an email from the Cisco Networking 26 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:28,210 Academy they click activate account to activate my account so I need to specify my email address my 27 00:02:28,210 --> 00:02:32,780 first name last name I need to specify my country and company. 28 00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:34,580 And let me give you a hint. 29 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:43,580 If you don't work for a company specify the company itself as in self-employed so specify your country 30 00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:47,110 specify your company itself. 31 00:02:47,140 --> 00:02:57,090 If you don't work for a company put in your password reconfirm that enter the capture information refresh 32 00:02:57,100 --> 00:02:57,240 it. 33 00:02:57,250 --> 00:03:06,650 If you can't read it decide whether you want to receive emails or not and click register registration 34 00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:15,110 process is now complete and we're told that we'll be redirected to log in some to specify my email address 35 00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:24,910 into my password and click sign in we told that they were excited to have us join them. 36 00:03:24,910 --> 00:03:31,990 But they need more information so we need to specify First Name Last Name Email address specified whether 37 00:03:31,990 --> 00:03:41,500 we want to receive important emails from Cisco Networking Academy specify gender country specify state 38 00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:50,840 how many years we've been in the networking industry do we have a disability specify OUR BIRTH DATE 39 00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:54,450 SO THEY want quite a bit of personal information here. 40 00:03:54,470 --> 00:04:01,860 Decide if you want to disclose your race and whether you've served in the US military and then click 41 00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:05,740 Create Account. 42 00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:11,760 OK so there you go we've now registered and we have access to the network Academy website. 43 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,030 You can launch the course at this point if you want to but I'm not going to do that. 44 00:04:16,050 --> 00:04:23,810 I'm going to close that and go to resources download Packet Tracer scrolling down there are different 45 00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:30,770 versions of Cisco Packet Tracer there are Windows versions Linux version but what we want is Mac OS 46 00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:36,710 so I'm going to click the download link for Mac OS and I'm going to download Cisco Packet Tracer to 47 00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:44,120 my computer so all you need to do now is wait for that download to complete Cisco packet traces about 48 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:50,970 146 Meg and size as you can see there are a few steps that you have to take to download Cisco Packet 49 00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:52,930 Tracer but it is free software. 50 00:04:53,010 --> 00:04:57,730 In the past you had to be part of the Networking Academy that's no longer true. 51 00:04:57,810 --> 00:05:05,050 Anyone can download Cisco Packet Tracer by simply registering on the Cisco Web site okay. 52 00:05:05,050 --> 00:05:13,960 The software has downloaded I'm going to double click on the DMV file and then double click on the installation 53 00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:14,290 app 54 00:05:17,090 --> 00:05:21,180 we warned that this application was downloaded from the Internet. 55 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,000 Do we really want to open it. 56 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,260 Yes we do. 57 00:05:24,270 --> 00:05:28,660 Some may click open the package traced the setup was it displays. 58 00:05:28,660 --> 00:05:29,710 I'm going to click continue 59 00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:38,560 to install the software you need to accept the license agreement so read through that and click Accept 60 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:39,940 of a license. 61 00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:46,440 Click Continue and then click install Cisco Packet Tracer is now being installed. 62 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,230 So it's a fairly simple installation process you simply need to agree to the license and install the 63 00:05:52,230 --> 00:06:00,690 software put in your password to allow Packet Tracer to make changes the installation has finished. 64 00:06:00,710 --> 00:06:07,430 So I'm going to click continue and click done okay so there you go packet tracer has now installed so 65 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:13,220 I can search for that on my Mac and start a Cisco Packet Tracer. 66 00:06:13,370 --> 00:06:18,650 Now because we running Packet Tracer for the first time we told that user files will be stored in this 67 00:06:18,650 --> 00:06:23,780 directory we can change that through preferences at a later time. 68 00:06:23,810 --> 00:06:24,640 I'm okay with that. 69 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Someone click Okay. 70 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:31,690 As you can see packet traces starting up now when packet traces starts up. 71 00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:39,160 We need to specify our user name or email so I'm going to do that and click Next specify my password 72 00:06:39,490 --> 00:06:45,460 and click sign in and there you go packet traces is now running on my Mac. 73 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,400 Once again I'm using Mako as Catalina in this example. 74 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:57,310 I've got Cisco packet tracer version 7 to 2 running on my Mac. 75 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:04,900 Now Cisco Packet Tracer supports a lot of devices we have routers so various types of riders switches 76 00:07:05,350 --> 00:07:16,510 hubs wireless devices firewalls when emulation devices they are end devices such as pieces laptops various 77 00:07:16,510 --> 00:07:20,800 home devices we can program Internet of Things. 78 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:28,920 There are various connection types but to get us started let's build a basic network of Cisco devices. 79 00:07:29,350 --> 00:07:35,860 Here's a router cell select the rider and then click in the workspace and add it to the workspace area 80 00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:37,990 or topology area. 81 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:45,320 So here's my first router I'll select a second router so I've got right of one and right to now I'll 82 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:52,100 select a switch and let's take a 35 60 and add that to the topology. 83 00:07:52,130 --> 00:07:55,580 Now you can change the icons if you like. 84 00:07:55,580 --> 00:08:02,060 I'll show you how to do that in a separate video so you could change to the logical or physical view 85 00:08:02,270 --> 00:08:03,810 of your devices. 86 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,360 But for now let's select connections various connection types can be used. 87 00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:12,680 So we could allow it to automatically choose the connection type. 88 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:19,880 We've got console straight through cables crossover cables fibre cables phone cables etc. But in this 89 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,480 example I'm going to select straight through copper cable. 90 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:31,550 Select the first router first Ethernet interface select the first Ethernet interface on the switch and 91 00:08:31,550 --> 00:08:38,270 I'll just zoom in here to make sure that it's easier to see what I'll do here just to show you the process 92 00:08:38,300 --> 00:08:40,700 is deletes this connection. 93 00:08:40,910 --> 00:08:41,840 Press escape 94 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:52,610 selected my ethernet cable selected the first Ethernet interface on the router first Ethernet interface 95 00:08:52,610 --> 00:08:59,300 on the switch select straight through copper again second Ethernet interface on the switch first Ethan 96 00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:05,030 it interface on the router K that zoom is not showing the icons very nicely but you can change the icons 97 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:12,500 if you like Cisco packet tracer today is very powerful if you go to Cisco packet trace preferences you 98 00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:19,400 can change as an example the font of your CLIA interface and I'm gonna want to do this because otherwise 99 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:27,200 it's going to be too small something to set it to 18 and click apply you can change the way the interface 100 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:35,120 looks so as an example Shope put labels in the logical workspace and that shows us our interface labels 101 00:09:35,930 --> 00:09:45,040 in this topology diagram notice at the moment the interfaces are down Cisco routers by default have 102 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,250 their interfaces shut down. 103 00:09:47,560 --> 00:09:55,630 Here's a view of my router I can zoom in and as you can see there are two gigabit interfaces on this 104 00:09:55,710 --> 00:09:59,530 writer I could add modules to the right if I wanted to 105 00:10:03,790 --> 00:10:11,030 I need to give packet tracer rights to do stuff on my computer so I'll do that and then what I'll try 106 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:15,390 and do is add that module to the router I can't because it's currently powered on. 107 00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:20,830 So if I wanted to add a module to the right I need to turn the rudder off and then I can add the module 108 00:10:20,830 --> 00:10:28,420 to the rider and then I could turn it on again so if I go to the CLIA you'll see that the road is currently 109 00:10:28,420 --> 00:10:29,900 booting up. 110 00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:36,490 Now again if this font is too small what you can do is go to Cisco Packet Tracer preferences go to font 111 00:10:36,910 --> 00:10:40,330 and then let's make this even bigger let's make it 20 and click apply 112 00:10:43,610 --> 00:10:51,030 and what you can see there is the font is bigger rather interfaces as I was saying are by default shut 113 00:10:51,030 --> 00:11:01,100 down switch interfaces are by default up when the device is turned on but the switch is currently off 114 00:11:02,460 --> 00:11:07,230 so if I go to see a lie We're told that the device must be powered on. 115 00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:14,500 So I need to add a power supply to the switch and now the switch starts booting up. 116 00:11:15,050 --> 00:11:21,070 If I go to the second router zoom in. 117 00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:27,780 No modules added but as you can see here the router has booted up. 118 00:11:27,790 --> 00:11:32,860 Now you can change the labels of your devices. 119 00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:37,500 So what I'll do is I'll change them to the following. 120 00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:42,970 I'll call this right to rather than write a one and that broader one and the switch one on right at 121 00:11:42,970 --> 00:11:47,390 two I'll bypass the initial configuration dialog. 122 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:50,370 That was an older way of configuring devices. 123 00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:57,170 I wouldn't recommend that you use that a press Enter to get started and I'm now in what's called the 124 00:11:57,170 --> 00:12:07,110 user mode on the router user mode allows you to view options or outputs on the device but not make changes 125 00:12:07,110 --> 00:12:07,650 to it. 126 00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:15,860 So as an example I can type show a version to see the version of router so I type quite quickly there 127 00:12:15,870 --> 00:12:17,160 so let me go back. 128 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:23,970 That command show version shows me the version of operating system that this writer is using. 129 00:12:23,970 --> 00:12:26,750 It's running Cisco XY software. 130 00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:32,100 Here's the version of software 15 dot five. 131 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:38,970 I can see that to the right according to packet tracer has been up for five minutes and spacebar allows 132 00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:42,240 me to see one page of output at a time. 133 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:49,020 If I type E and press tab that order completes the command and thus takes me to what's called privilege 134 00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:51,620 mode or enable mode. 135 00:12:51,660 --> 00:12:58,200 This gives me full rights to the system it's kind of like it administrator in Windows or root in Linux 136 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:08,010 gives me a lot more privileges to do things such as go to configure mode I'm going to type C O an F 137 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,980 and press tab t tab. 138 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:17,250 This takes me to what's called Global configuration mode and I can now configure things on this device 139 00:13:17,250 --> 00:13:18,670 such as the hostname. 140 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:22,180 So I typed H O host tab. 141 00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:28,020 Question Mark tells me what options are available and what I'll do here is specify the hostname of the 142 00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:34,600 writer so hostname We'll be right to on interface so type I N T. 143 00:13:34,610 --> 00:13:36,440 Tab gigabit. 144 00:13:36,450 --> 00:13:38,500 0 0 0 so g. 145 00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:47,180 Tab question mark shows me the options available carriage return here sir on interface gigabit. 146 00:13:47,220 --> 00:13:48,330 0 0 0. 147 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:48,960 I'm gonna type. 148 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:49,950 No shut. 149 00:13:50,070 --> 00:13:54,860 Notice the interface when Green interface has come up. 150 00:13:55,260 --> 00:14:02,790 Specify an IP address in this case I'll specify 10 1 1 2 with a subnet mask of that type. 151 00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:06,460 And that takes me back to privilege mode or enable mode. 152 00:14:06,460 --> 00:14:12,840 And I'm going to type the copy running config startup config to save the broader configuration. 153 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,810 What I've done here is configure an IP address on this right write it to. 154 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,890 Now the reason why this is green is because switches run something called spanning tree which helps 155 00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:28,940 stop loops in a topology suspending tree takes a while to converge or sort things out. 156 00:14:29,070 --> 00:14:34,020 So this will go green and there it's just done that once spanning tree has determined that there are 157 00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:36,960 no loops in the topology. 158 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:43,320 I'll go back to write a one bypass the initial configuration dialog press Enter two or return to get 159 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,280 started. 160 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:51,540 Type enable notice I can use shortcut commands rather than typing the full command and I could specify 161 00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:55,140 the hostname as write a one interface gigabit. 162 00:14:55,140 --> 00:14:56,820 0 0 0. 163 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,630 No shut which is actually no shut down to enable the interface interfaces come up and I can specify 164 00:15:03,630 --> 00:15:07,740 an IP address of 10 1 1 1 and a subnet mask. 165 00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:14,370 Now I've just decided to use these IP addresses you could use any IP address that you want to use that 166 00:15:14,370 --> 00:15:16,260 makes sense in your topology. 167 00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:19,360 I typed end yet to go back to privilege mode. 168 00:15:19,500 --> 00:15:22,140 Now once the interface has gone green. 169 00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:28,290 In other words once spanning tree has converged I'll be able to ping the other rider for the moment 170 00:15:28,330 --> 00:15:35,430 alt ping myself as a test so rider 1 has pinged its IP address you can see the IP address of the rider 171 00:15:35,430 --> 00:15:41,640 by typing show IP interface brief this IP address is configured on this interface. 172 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,810 So I've been able to ping myself in this topology. 173 00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:53,580 I won't be able to ping Rider 2 until spending 3 converges because spanning tree blocks traffic as in 174 00:15:53,580 --> 00:16:00,000 pings or any type of normal user traffic until the network has converged. 175 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,850 And as you can see there the pings started succeeding. 176 00:16:02,850 --> 00:16:05,210 Once the interface went green. 177 00:16:05,370 --> 00:16:11,710 In other words once spanning tree had converged and now I'll be able to ping Rider 2. 178 00:16:11,820 --> 00:16:13,350 Now it's running a little bit slow here. 179 00:16:13,390 --> 00:16:14,880 There it's a bit quicker. 180 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,880 Don't worry too much about that. 181 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,170 The moral of the story is that right. 182 00:16:19,230 --> 00:16:26,280 One can ping Rider 2 and ride it to camping rider 1 and there you go. 183 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:34,150 Last thing I want to do once again is save my configuration so copy of Running config startup config. 184 00:16:34,220 --> 00:16:36,830 Save the rider configuration. 185 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,990 That's a longer way to do it but that's the way they will teach you to do it in the CCMA. 186 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,660 I typically type w are much quicker way of doing it. 187 00:16:45,660 --> 00:16:47,130 That's an older command. 188 00:16:47,190 --> 00:16:49,920 Saves you a lot more time. 189 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,260 Now we haven't done any configuration on the switch. 190 00:16:52,290 --> 00:16:59,850 I can bypass the initial switch configuration dialog type enable conf t takes me to global config mode 191 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:04,130 give the switch a name and in this example I'll simply do that. 192 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,230 Save the config so I've given the switch a name but I haven't done anything else on the switch at this 193 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:10,550 point. 194 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:18,090 I could close my packet tracer topology down but I'm told that I'll lose my changes don't want to save 195 00:17:18,090 --> 00:17:19,370 them and the answer is yes. 196 00:17:21,180 --> 00:17:22,080 Give it a name. 197 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:31,890 So my first packet tracer network and click save and then save the topology. 198 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,900 Let's start packing tracer up once again. 199 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,550 So I'll start it up. 200 00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:45,840 I'll go to file open recent files select my packet trace the network and there you go the topology has 201 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,350 been restored. 202 00:17:47,460 --> 00:17:49,820 Now our interface labels are not showing nicely. 203 00:17:49,810 --> 00:17:58,680 So what I prefer to do is manually configure my interface labels but you can decide based on this option 204 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:06,030 whether you want to display port labels in a logical workspace so it's interesting in this example is 205 00:18:06,090 --> 00:18:09,720 packet traces not displaying the interface labels nicely. 206 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:16,330 What I tend to do is place a note here and then specify my interface labels like that. 207 00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:25,620 Once I did that it actually showed them properly but you could use this option where you manually add 208 00:18:25,620 --> 00:18:35,870 the labels and what I like about that is you can control where the labels are in your topology So I'm 209 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:39,010 to go to Cisco packet tracer preferences. 210 00:18:39,010 --> 00:18:47,160 I'm going to not show the port labels and then I'm going to manually move these around where I want 211 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,320 them to be in the topology. 212 00:18:49,410 --> 00:18:52,200 So I prefer doing it that way. 213 00:18:52,200 --> 00:19:00,450 I'll go back on to write a 1 C ally the router has booted up now so typing able. 214 00:19:00,510 --> 00:19:04,180 Can we ping it too from writer 1. 215 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,090 And the answer is yes we can. 216 00:19:06,090 --> 00:19:11,950 So I've shown you now how to download and install Cisco packet tracer on a Mac. 217 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,600 I've shown you how to create a topology how to save that topology how to restore it. 218 00:19:16,650 --> 00:19:19,780 Basically how to use the basics of Cisco packet tracer. 219 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:24,900 Have a look at the course on Cisco's website if you want to learn more about the options available within 220 00:19:24,900 --> 00:19:25,860 Cisco Packet Tracer. 221 00:19:25,860 --> 00:19:30,990 I'm not going to try and show you in my videos all the options within the Cisco Packet Tracer software 222 00:19:31,230 --> 00:19:36,840 Cisco have already created a free course that shows you that I'm going to show you specific options 223 00:19:37,110 --> 00:19:42,750 for the CCMA exam and how to practically use this to learn networking.
