Transcripts

hello and welcome to this episode of

package racer in this episode we want to

talk about creating a network topology

and inside the network topology we will

create devices and arrange those devices

also maybe delete some of the devices

and make connection between those

devices so let's get started to create a

device you have this selection box in

the selection box you have categories

like network devices and devices

components and as such and for those

categories you have subcategories as

well for example for route for network

devices we have routers and for routers

we have different type of models of

routers specific devices

so for example I want a 1941 router now

I click on the 1941 router now my cursor

has changed now I click on the workspace

and now I have created a device

to create multiple devices of the same

type what I can do is that I will press

Ctrl first on my keyboard then I will

press one of these routers 2901 I want

this router and now I come to the

workspace and now I can create multiple

instances of the same type of router 1 2

3 4 without going backward and forward I

can create many routers at the same time

to cancel the connection either I can

click in here as you can see it can be

canceled or I can press

escape on my keyboard

we also have the ability to undo and

redo and these are the shortcuts

as you can see I can undo the creation

of router 4 and I can redo the creation

of what router 4 once again and it will

appear for me once again

the most commonly used tool that we use

in packet racer is the select tool this

is the default tool and by using the

select tool we can arrange devices for

example I can arrange this router and

move it to wherever on the workspace

that I want to I can arrange multiple

devices at the same time so I will drag

my select tool on four of these routers

and I can arrange their position however

I want to I can also select devices one

at a time by pressing shift on my

keyboard so if I have shift on my

keyboard I can select this this and this

and now I can move them from here to

here

to delete a device first I need to

highlight that device now I have

highlighted router 3 if I click on the

delete tool there this router can be

deleted

now my cursor has changed to the delete

tool as you can see this is the delete

tool and my cursor has changed to the

delete tool so now without highlighting

I can click on whatever devices that I

have on the workspace and I can delete

them using the delete tool

to cancel the delete tool you can go to

the select tool or you can press Escape

now let's add a few more devices to the

workspace

first I want to add a router and maybe I

want to add a switch and I want to add a

PC and I want to add a server

now let's go to router 5 if I left click

on the router 5 this window will appear

for me I can go to the physical Tab and

now I can zoom in on this router this is

the physical view of the router routers

don't have any modules installed by

default so I can add modules to this

router but first I need to turn off the

router because it's not possible to add

a module if the device is turned on so I

will turn it off

and now I can add modules

I will add this module

and this module

and maybe I can add a cover if it fits I

don't think it fits so I am not able to

add this module if I want to remove a

module I can click on the module on the

router and put it back here on the list

now it's removed now I can add another

different type of module

this module is not compatible so not all

modules are compatible

let's try this one this is also not

compatible

let's maybe put a cover back in here

now let's go and make a few connections

between these devices

to make a connection first in the device

type selection box you can go to

connections and you can use Auto cable

using Auto cable Packet Tracer will

automatically choose the connection type

for you

now if I press this my cursor has

changed to a connection I can left click

on the router and click again on the

switch

and as you can see the connection has

been created and the type of connection

is also selected by packet tracer

now let's add a connection by manually

choosing the connection type now in here

I have the copper straight through

copper crossover

fiber and other types of connections I

will need a copper straight through so I

will select it

select on switch

select the interface

click on PC and select the interface and

now this connection has been created

to add multiple connection of the same

type I can use control on my keyboard

and now that I have control on my

keyboard I will click on copper straight

through

then I can create multiple connections

at the same time

to cancel this mode simply press escape

on your keyboard to change a cable from

one device to another or re-cable I can

click here on the link light and once I

click here on the link light now the

cursor has changed to a connection and I

can change from that router to this

router

and to delete an existing cable I can

use the delete tool

sorry I have to go back because router 2

was highlighted I don't I want to press

on the workspace so nothing is

highlighted

now I go to delete tool

I can delete these connections easily by

using the delete tool
