Cisco The second issue. We use Packet Tracer 5.0 to model the network. Screencast

Today in the issue:

Packet Tracer 5. We study the features of the program.
The issue is made in the form of a screencast.
In 20 minutes, you will learn the basic functions of PT5.

On the agenda:

PT5 environment:

• Logical network diagram
• Simulation equipment.
• Work with objects on a logical diagram.
• Mechanisms for visual modeling of data flows

Work with equipment:

• Adding Expansion Cards to Routers
• Configure equipment in graphical mode
• Configuring equipment in CLI mode
• Computers and servers: features and configuration.

We assemble the network diagram:

• Add equipment to the diagram.
• We use cables to connect equipment
• Configure the computer and server
• Add a switch and a router. Configure the router.
• We use ping requests from the command line and in visual mode to check the connection.
• We use traceroute to check the packet path.
• Simple debugging.

Download the screencast from here in the form of wmv ("Save the object as") or from here the same thing, only in the zip archive.

Well, as agreed, homework !

Assemble the network according to the following scheme:



And make sure that the computer can ping the web server.
Almost everything will be clear to you after the screencast. But there is one snag. The router only knows about the networks to which it is connected. Accordingly, Bart does not know about a network with a web server. And Homer does not know about a network with a computer. On these routers, you need to register static routes yourself. And how to do it - you will find on the Internet.
The first issue may come in handy .
UPD1:Here is Packet Tracer itself , of course, for educational and educational purposes!
Yes, and more. Dynamips is certainly great. But!
1. There is no switching at all.
2. This is real iOS and 80% of the teams there will interfere and distract.
3. Dynamips alone is not easy to handle. You need to be very confused to create a custom network.
For beginners, PacketTracer is a really good product. After it, you can go to Dynampis (with GNS3), and understand how the emulator differs from the simulator, what is good and what is bad, and so on.
By the way, the release about GNS3 (Dynamips) was planned further!
