- So let's start with part one of building
and troubleshooting this lab and get it going.
So in this first section we're just going
to open up GNS3, we're going to start our project
and we're going to start building the physical topology
and adding all the links and all that good stuff.
So let's get going with that.
So step number one is to actually open the application.
Alright and let's go ahead and name this CCNA EIRP lab.
You can call it whatever you want,
that's just what I'm going to call it.
Okay and once again this is the topology
that we're going to build so if you haven't
done this already and you're just following along
with me I would recommend that you take
a screen shot of this image so that you can
reference it because I'm going to pull
this over to my other monitor so I can
reference this as we build it.
Okay so really this just involves four routers
so I'm going to go over here, I'm going to drag the router
but before I drop it, before I let go of my mouse
I'm going to hit the shift key and then let go of my mouse,
which as I mentioned in previous videos
allows us to select more than one router at a time.
So let's go ahead and put these into my topology.
Alright and then we want to create the physical links.
So on the bottom we're going to be
using fast ethernet all the way across.
So I'm just using the link tool to do that.
And then on the top we're going
to be using serial interfaces to go across.
Alright now we can unselect that tool
and before we are done we need to,
it's probably a good idea to click on the show
hide interfaces button right here so that
we can actually see the interfaces
on our topology diagram so we don't get confused
about what is connected to what.
And just move those around a little bit
so they're a little bit clearer to see.
Okay that pretty much concludes it
for this particular video, that is all that was necessary
to build the physical topology so before
we leave here we're going to want to save our project,
so just File and then Save Project.
