Hi my name is she had from Teach Epix welcoming all to Cisco firewalls course.
In this video we will cover the topic of Cisco Packet Tracer.
Advanced features or some features that you can use in Cisco Packet Tracer in order to configure your
laps.
By the end of this video you will be able to understand the most important features in Cisco packet
traces.
So let's start.
All right.
As we agreed before in a previous video Cisco Packet Tracer is a free simulator from Cisco that you
can use to practice your laps configuring your laps as in real world.
So what are the most important features of Cisco Packet Tracer.
What are the advices and best practices.
Okay.
First of all before you configure your lab you have to know what actually the product that you need
to use and what are the interfaces on this product or device in the simulator.
You will need let's see this how we can do this.
Here you go.
Here is Cisco Packet Tracer interface.
Here are all the devices that you can actually select and configure for example there are this as you
can see here you have many different routers models which one you select for your lab.
It depends on what you need what interfaces are available on on this browser for example if we select
this router that 1941 what interface is available here.
Here you go to gigabit ethernet interfaces no fast ethernet interfaces.
So if you need just gigabit ethernet interfaces you can just select this routing let's select another
one twenty eight 11.
Here you go.
You just when you want to see the interface types you just come on the router itself point to it and
you will see the interface types here.
Only do fast ethernet interfaces available.
All right let's take another one the 1841 also to fast ethernet interfaces.
Let's take that 20 9/11
ago three gigabit interfaces OK so what if we need to connect to routers on our when on a wide area
network you need what we call a serial interface.
You cannot connect to routers on a when using a gigabit Ethernet or a fast Ethernet.
So here is the solution.
Let's take for example.
Between 9/11 it has three gigabit interfaces click on it.
It will open you actually this back plain view of their output.
You will see the back of the relative as you can see it.
You have many slots empty slots those slots actually you can add interfaces or modules in order to use
the serial interface configuration.
So as you can see we have here for three slots or for year for free slots that you can use.
So the serial interface which is actually the interface on the when topology is called at work work
stands for when interface cards.
So if you want to add I went interface card in order to use the serial interface let me show you first
what is the serial interface come on the connections that he does the Syrian interface that had one
okay.
So
for example say I want to add this at Wick or high one interface card to this grout.
What should they do.
First of all you have to switch of the power.
You see the power.
You can zoom in or out.
You see you can zoom in and out just to see clearly what you have to do so before adding this module
you have to switch off the router.
Now it's switched off.
Just grab this interface or this module added to this slot.
Then again you switch on the outer it's green.
Can you see
it was green.
Then I switch it off.
Then I switch it back on.
So it's green now.
So that means that outer is on the right.
So as you can see this module that I added it has two serial ports.
As you can see two t means two serial ports and just close this
view.
Now if you come and click on this water you will see there are two serial interfaces added zero over
three over zero and zero over three over one.
All right.
Let's come to the next router which is the eight eleven.
Let's also add a serial interface first.
As I said
switch off the power you see it's green.
Switch it off.
Come on.
Each week two D which is the same interface we added on the fittest throughout the grab it to the appropriate
the slot then switch back on that router OK.
Now it's ready to connect.
So now we have those two routers
having serial interfaces you see serial 0 over 2 0 and serial zero over two over one.
So now if you want to connect those two routers over a serial interface all you have to do is just grab
this connection.
Type click on their outer click on the serial zero over to zero.
Come on the second router click on Syria 0 0 3 or 0 that's it.
They are connected.
Using a serial port or a serial connection okay.
So that's how you add a serial interface card to our outer.
Because by default in Cisco packet tracer routers only have either fast Ethernet or gigabit ethernet
interfaces.
All right.
Let's move back to our slide here in Cisco Packet Tracer.
We see we we have what we call a simulation mode.
We have real time mode and simulation mode the simulation mode is actually used to test or simulate
the connections.
So for example if you want to see the connections from this relative of the disrupter you just press
this button play
click here display it will not actually work because the connections are still not active.
So we have to have an IP address configured.
So let's add an IP address to this one serial zero over 2 over 0 let's give it an IP address.
We will use actually that graphical interface and instead of just using the seal I So Cyril this one.
Here you go.
Zero over 2 over zero.
Let's give it to 0 9.
That 1 6 5 200 the 2 to 5 subnet mask.
Let's say the default 1 and bring it on and then save your configuration
right.
On the other side the same thing.
You give us an IP address
just come point to the interface you will see the interface numbers 0 over 3 over 0.
So let's go 0 over 3 or 0.
Will give us an IP address of 2 0 9 1 6 5 or 200 the 2 2 6
same subnet mask and bring it on which means the same command as no shot down that's it.
You see it turned to green.
It was a red color.
So it turned to green.
That means both connections can communicate.
This is the case owners on the serial interface you have to configure both sides with an IP address.
Bring the interface on and then it will turn into green OK.
If you configure on your one site and you forget the other side of the connection the connection will
not come up.
OK so let's move to the next part.
Any topology you have in Cisco Packet Tracer you can move it actually to any location either to the
middle or to the right side to the left side.
So say for example I want to move this a little bit to the right side.
I just highlighted like this okay and move it down our pride left.
So you highlight the whole finger and you just click on any part of it and you just move it
get next part you can actually connect any device to a console port to configure it.
A console port in your router or switch has what we call a console port a port that you can connect
a cable which we call a console cable.
To configure it through a computer the console cable in Cisco Packet Tracer is this one all right.
So say for example I want to configure destructor through a computer and connected via a console cable.
Let's grab first a computer here or a laptop.
P.S. come on the connection step.
Press on that console connection come here on the P.C. fast ethernet 0 which is the network card on
the computer can hit on the router.
You will see here console.
Now you can configure this router through this computer.
You can connect connect from the computer to the router locally and access the conflagration or the
seal ie and configure it OK.
So this is the console connection this cable is that strength cable.
This cable is the cross over cable.
And those two red color are the serial cables.
Those are actually the main connections that were you in need the other ones actually.
Mainly you will not use them.
Those are the main connections.
All right.
Next we discussed all already adding modules to are out there like a Syrian module second think you
can actually change the shape of any node as you want.
You can change the shape so you don't have to stick with this default chip.
For example if I want to change this router to any other shape like for example a cloud I want this
router to look as a cloud just click on it.
Come here on the physical tab you will see here what you call customize icon.
All right.
So since we are in a logical view not a physical view you say you select customized icon in logical
view.
You don't actually need the physical view is actually almost useless in configuring your laps.
So you would use customized icon in logical view click on it browse just select any photo or picture
from your computer you can download for example a cloud picture for a cloud you click browse you select
the picture and the icon for this computer will be changed.
All right.
So let's go.
For example two photos.
You select whatever icon you want right.
So say for example I I want this icon let's say the icon or whatever for this one for this outer
you see the Ike has been changed.
All right.
So it's up to you.
It depends on what you need in your lap.
You change the icon to whatever you need.
All right.
That's all for this with you in the next video.
We will discuss the topic of netting or network address translation.
Thank you very much for watching and see you in the next video.
