Lab 1 Intro PacketTracer
Lab 1 Intro PacketTracer
First, let's understand what network simulation software is. According to the
Cambridge dictionary, the meaning of simulation is that: Simulation (n):
a model of a set of problems or events that can be used to teach someone how to do
something, or the process of making such a model
We conclude that network simulation software is a type of software that simulates the
operation of networking devices. Which is suitable for students and people interested
in networking We'll take advantage of this kind of software to study and configure the
devices to perform the tasks we set.
So why don't we really study from network devices? That is because these types of
equipment are expensive. Making many people unable to own it Or even the
educational institution itself Cannot provide this type of equipment for students to use
in learning and teaching thoroughly We will have to rely on software to simulate
network devices instead.

The next part I will introduce is the Common Tools Bar, which will have different tools
to be able to use as in the picture.
1. Select The shortcut key is ESC, which selects the desired device or group of
devices. To use it, left click and hold and drag across the desired device or group
of devices.
2. Inspect the shortcut button is I to check the operating status of the device
quickly. How to use it, click on the device, there will be various menus to choose from
depending on the type of device.
3. Delete shortcut key is Del acts to delete devices that do not want to use. To use,
click on the device you want to delete.
5. Place Note The shortcut button is N, it acts as a note as we want. How to use it We
can type any message we want on Workspace straight away.
Commands like
- New to create new workspace
- Open to open
saved packet tracer files - Save to save packet tracer files
- Print to print packet tracer files
The next part we will introduce is the Menu bar section.
Open the file Lab-1-1-Deploying and Cabling Devices.pkt. The software will open
as in the picture.
Let us install the device according to the specified label. Must see the correct
device model too
2.1 Install Router0 2811, click on the Network Devices device and click on
Routers. Designated
2.2 Install Router1 1841, click to select Router 1841 as in the picture and put it
on the workspace to match the label specified.
2.3 Install Router2 2901, click to select Router 2901 as in the picture and put it on
the workspace to match the label specified.
2.4 SettingD Router 2911 provides for Router3,4,5 Router 2911 Click on the
picture and then placed on the workspace to match the specified label.
To place multiple devices of the same model at a time, press and hold Ctrl on the
keyboard and click on the device, then release the Ctrl key and click on the
workspace. To cancel or place the desired number of devices, press the Delete
command or the keyboard shortcut Del.
When finished, you will get the desired device on the workspace as in the picture.
To use the copy command, select the desired device and click the copy command,
then click the paste command next to it. We will have one more device, a device
that has been copied, even a set of instructions that we set in the device.
When finished, you will get the desired device on the workspace as in the picture.
3.The next step is to connect the signal cables together between the PC and
Switch.
3.1 Click on the Connections device group and click on the Copper Straight-
Through cable as shown in the picture.
For the Lab, we have now learned how to choose different types of
9. Device Configuration
Click on the device that is placed in the workspace, the settings window will appear as
in the picture.
The first menu bar is Physical. We will see the model of the device from the real
thing. This will show both the front and the back of the device.
The first part that will be introduced is Physical Device View. There will be a Zoom In
The device image of router 2911 is now seen in the picture above, there are four
black spaces, that is, slots for inserting different kinds of modules to correspond to the
usage.
The next section is the network connection port, that is, the port GigabitEthernet0 / 0,
GigabitEthernet0 / 1, GigabitEthernet0 / 2 as shown.
The AUX port is for connection to an external analog modem. To enable remote
device configuration.
Console port is for connection to a computer via Rollover cable so that the device can
be set up. Which is the most commonly used port than the AUX port
We are still at the Physical menu. The next part we will introduce is Module, which
consists of various modules that can be installed as follows:
1. HWIC-1GE-SFP which we can see the explanation below as shown in the figure.
2. HWIC-2T
3. HWIC-4ESW
4. HWIC-8A
5. WIC-Cover
6. GLC-LH-SMD
ROUTING menu
- Static can set static route as needed
- RIP can set route as needed.
Menu INTERFACE
- GigabitEthernet0 / 0 Can set bandwidth, duplex, MAC Address, IP Address, Subnet
Mask
- GigabitEthernet0 / 1. Can be set up like GigabitEthernet0 / 0
- GigabitEthernet0 / 2 Can be set up like GigabitEthernet0 / 0
Usually, we use the CLI menu to set up the device with different commands. Which
we can type commands into it, such as show version command as in the picture
This article will guide you through setting up your device. So that devices can send
information to each other Let's get started.
.Set PC1 using the same method as PC0, but change IP Address to 192.168.1.3 and
test with ping 192.168.1.1, the result must be the same as PC0.
a. At the Global Settings menu, we can change the device name to be displayed in
the workspace and the device Hostname, which is the name within the device
b. Change the Hostname to Central and press the Enter key on the keyboard. The
packet tracer will show the corresponding ISO commands. To change the Hostname
name in the Equivalent IOS Commands field as in the picture.
The enable, configure terminal, hostname Central commands are the commands that
we will use to configure the actual device
. C. Click the FastEthernet0 / 1
d menu . In the Equivalent IOS Commands box it will display the interface
FastEthernet0 / 1.
The shutdown command will disable any interface you have connected to the
device. Here, we disable interface FastEthernet0 / 1. Which is connected to PC0, we
can see that in the workspace the signal cable is a red triangle symbol which means it
cannot be used as in the picture.
a. Click Laptop
b. Click Physical menu bar
c. Turn off laptop by pressing the button in the figure.
e. Install Module WPC300N into the empty slot and open the laptop again

In this article, we learn more about the use of various networking devices.
Packet Tracer, Part 7 Simulation Mode
Layer 3
1. The Ping process starts the next ping request.
2. The Ping process creates an ICMP Echo Request message and sends it to the
lower process.
3. The source IP address is not specified. The device sets it to the port’s IP address.
4. The device sets TTL in the packet header.
5. The destination IP address is in the same subnet. The device sets the next-hop to
destination.
Layer 2
1. The next-hop IP address is a unicast. The ARP process looks it up in the ARP
table.
2. The next-hop IP address is in the ARP table. The ARP process sets the frame’s
destination MAC address to the one found in the table.
3. The device encapsulates the PDU into an Ethernet frame.
Layer 1
1. FastEthernet0 sends out the frame.
6. You can reset the simulation by clicking the Reset Simulate button.
Readers can test the same way by trying to change the source. And destination to
receive information And check the process of receiving - sending that there are
different steps What will be the next article in the next chapter? Read it …… .. Hello.
