Lab 2 1: Intro to Packet Tracer and Deploying Pinging Devices - devinziegler/Devin-Tech-Journal GitHub Wiki

Assignment: Intro to Packet Tracer and Deploying/Pinging Devices In this lab, I learned how to deploy and cable network devices in Packet Tracer.

Problems encountered:

One problem I had during this assignment was installing a packet tracer. The first time packet tracer was installed, none of the network devices had images. I fixed this problem by uninstalling the program and re-downloading it from the website.

How to deploy devices in Packet Tracer:

• Find the device you want to deploy from the bottom menu. Select that device, then click on the canvas to place the device.

How to wire devices in Packet Tracer:

• Use copper Straight-Through when wiring a pc to a switch. The cable should be connected to fast ethernet on the pc. The other end of the cable should be plugged into the corresponding fast ethernet port on the switch. When wiring two switches together, select copper Cross-Over cable. Connect the switches through the gigabit ethernet ports.

How to assign a static IP in Packet Tracer:

• Select the pc you want to configure. Select config, then select fastethernet0. From there you can type the IP and Subnet Mask into the corresponding boxes.

How to open the terminal on a pc in Packet Tracer:

• Select the pc you want to use. Select Desktop, and then select Command Prompt.
