Object: - Introduction & Installation to Packet Tracer
Packet Tracer is a protocol simulator developed by Dennis Frezzo and his team at Cisco Systems. Packet
Tracer (PT) is a powerful and dynamic tool that displays the various protocols used in networking, in either
Real Time or Simulation mode. This includes layer 2 protocols such as Ethernet and PPP, layer 3 protocols
such as IP, ICMP, and ARP, and layer 4 protocols such as TCP and UDP. Routing protocols can also be
traced.
Introduction to the Packet Tracer Interface using a Hub Topology
Step 1: Start Packet Tracer and Enter Simulation Mode
Step 2: Choosing Devices and Connections
We will begin building our network topology by selecting devices and the media in which to connect
them. Several types of devices and network connections can be used. For this lab we will keep it simple
by using End Devices, Switches, Hubs, and Connections.
Single click on each group of devices and connections to display the various choices. The devices you
see may differ slightly.
2
Step 3: Building the Topology – Adding Hosts
Single click on the End Devices.
Single click on the Generic host.
Move the cursor into topology area. You will notice it turns into a plus “+” sign.
Single click in the topology area and it copies the device.
Add three more hosts.
3
1
Step 4: Building the Topology – Connecting the Hosts to Hubs and
Switches
Adding a Hub
Select a hub, by clicking once on Hubs and once on a Generic hub.
Add the hub by moving the plus sign “+” below PC0 and PC1 and click once.
Connect PC0 to Hub0 by first choosing Connections.
Click once on the Copper Straight-through cable.
4
Perform the following steps to connect PC0 to Hub0:
1. Click once on PC0
2. Choose Fast Ethernet
3. Drag the cursor to Hub0
4. Click once on Hub0 and choose Port 0
5. Notice the green link lights on both the PC0 Ethernet NIC and the Hub0 Port 0 showing that the link is
active.
1 2 3 4
5
Repeat the steps above for PC1 connecting it to Port 1 on Hub0. (The actual hub port you choose does not
matter.)
5
Adding a Switch
Select a switch, by clicking once on Switches and once on a 2950-24 switch.
Add the switch by moving the plus sign “+” below PC2 and PC3 and click once.
Connect PC2 to Hub0 by first choosing Connections.
Click once on the Copper Straight-through cable.
6
Perform the following steps to connect PC2 to Switch0:
1. Click once on PC2
2. Choose Fast Ethernet
3. Drag the cursor to Switch0
4. Click once on Switch0 and choose FastEthernet0/1
5. Notice the green link lights on PC2 Ethernet NIC and amber light Switch0 FastEthernet0/1 port. The
switch port is temporarily not forwarding frames, while it goes through the stages for the Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) process.
6. After a about 30 seconds the amber light will change to green indicating that the port has entered the
forwarding stage. Frames can now forward out the switch port.
Note: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is discussed later.
1 2 3 4 5
6
Repeat the steps above for PC3 connecting it to Port 3 on Switch0 on port FastEtherent0/2. (The actual
switch port you choose does not matter.)
Move the cursor over the link light to view the port number. Fa means Fast Ethernet, 100 Mbps Ethernet.
7
Step 5: Configuring IP Addresses and Subnet Masks on the Hosts
Before we can communicate between the hosts we need to configure IP Addresses and Subnet Masks on
the devices. Click once on PC0.
Choose the Config tab and click on Settings. It is here that you can change the name of PC0. It is also here
where you would enter a Gateway IP Address, also known as the default gateway and the DNS Server IP
Address. We will discuss this later, but this would be the IP address of the local router. If you want, you can
enter the Gateway IP Address 172.16.1.1 and DNS Server IP Address 172.16.1.100, although it will not be
used in this lab.
8
9
To close this dialog box, click the “X” in the upper right.
Repeat these steps for the other hosts. Use the information below for IP Addresses and Subnet
Masks.
Host IP Address Subnet
PC0 172.16.1.10 255.255.0.
Mask
PC1 172.16.1.11 0
255.255.0.
PC2 172.16.1.12 0
255.255.0.
PC3 172.16.1.13 0
255.255.0.
0
Verify the information
To verify the information that you entered, move the Select tool (arrow) over each host.
Deleting a Device or Link
To delete a device or link, choose the Delete tool and click on the item you wish to delete.
10
Step 6: Connecting Hub0 to Switch0
To connect like-devices, like a Hub and a Switch, we will use a Cross-over cable. Click once the Cross-
over Cable from the Connections options.
Move the Connections cursor over Hub0 and click once.
Select Port 5 (actual port does not matter).
11
Move the Connections cursor to Switch0.
Click once on Switch0 and choose FastEthernet0/4 (actual port does not matter).
The link light for switch port FastEthernet0/4 will begin as amber and eventually change to green as the
Spanning Tree Protocol transitions the port to forwarding.
12
Step 7: Verifying Connectivity in Real-time Mode
Be sure you are in Real-time mode.
Select the Add Simple PDU tool used to ping devices..
Click once on PC0, then once on PC3.
The PDU Last Status should show as Successful.
13
Resetting the Network
At this point we will want to reset the network, whenever you want to reset the network and
begin the simulation again, perform the following tasks:
Click Delete in the PDU area.
Now, Power Cycle Devices and confirm the action.
Waiting for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Note: Because Packet Tracer also simulates the Spanning Tree Protocol (later), at times the switch may show amber
lights on its interfaces. You will need to wait for the lights to turn green on the switches before they will forward any
Ethernetframes.
14
Step 8: Verifying Connectivity in Simulation Mode
Be sure you are in Simulation mode.
Deselect all filters (All/None) and select only ICMP.
15
Select the Add Simple PDU tool used to ping devices..
Click once on PC0, then once on PC3.
Continue clicking Capture/Forward button until the ICMP ping is completed. You should see the ICMP messages
move between the hosts, hub and switch. The PDU Last Status should show as Successful. Click on Clear Event List
if you do not want to look at the events or click Preview Previous Events if you do. For this exercise it does not
matter.
16
Step 9: Saving the Topology
Perform the following steps to save the topology (uses .pkt file extension).
