Congure A Router With Packet Tracer


January 8th, 2010 Related Filed Under Computer networking professionals getting started with Packet Tracer may nd the interface to be ustered. Being a development program, this is only natural. However, learning how to congure a router with Packet Tracer will put professionals on the right track to mastering the program in about half an hour. By this time, you should already have the Packet Tracer download and have it installed on your computer. Open the program and select the router from the lower left-hand corner, and drag it into the center of the sandbox screen as seen below. (Click for larger picture)

We will be setting up a very basic network that allows two computers to communicate, so the next step is to select end devices from the bottom left-hand corner and drag it to the sandbox screen. Do this twice to make two computers appear below the router. Now select connections from the same bottom left-hand corner. When you connect like-devices(Such as a router and computer) you use a crossover cable, so you should select copper cross-over cable from the second menu to the immediate right. Click on Router0, and connect the cable via FastEthernet0/0 as seen below:

Now click the PC0 and select FastEthernet. You will notice that although a link is established, it is not functional. You can tell by the red dots that are present on both ends of the connection. Once the router is congured correctly, the red dots will turn green to indicate the devices are able to communicate. Do the same operation to PC1, only this time connect the cable to FastEthernet0/1 since FastEthernet0/0 is already taken by PC0. Your network should be similar to the one below at this point:

Conguring The Router In Packet Tracer


A router that is turned o doesnt work very well! Click on your router to bring up the conguration menu and verify that it is turned on.When on, there will be a small green light below the switch as seen in the diagram.

Next we have to open the Ethernet ports to allow communication. Although they are physically connected, they are in a state that is known as being in administrative shut down. Now click on the CLI tab to access the conguration menu. If youve used the Cisco IOS before, you will notice it looks and acts the same way. 1. Press RETURN to start the session 2. Type enable to get to privileged mode (this gives you more options in conguring the router) 3. Type cong terminal (or cong t for short) to access the conguration menu. 4. Type interface fastethernet0/0 to access Ethernet0/0 5. Type ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0 to assign an IP address and subnet mask to the interface. 6. Type no shutdown to open the interface up for business.

Thats it! You should now see a message similar to the following: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface FastEthernet0/0, changed state to up Now we have to do the same thing for fastethernet0/1. If you dont, there still wont be a connection to PC1! Make sure to enter the IP address carefully as seen below: 1. Press Ctrl + Z to go back to the previous mode. 1. Type interface fastethernet0/1 2. Type ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0 3. Type no shutdown At this point our router is congured properly. If you test out a ping, you will notice that the computers still dont communicate, however!

Conguring The Gateway In Packet Tracer


Our last step is to congure the gateway on each desktop computer. The gateway is the address we assigned to the Ethernet port that the desktop is connected to. It will allow the computer to interface with another network, so our ping wont work without it! Click on PC0 to bring up the conguration menu. Under global settings you will nd a eld for the gateway. Enter the corresponding IP address of the routers interface, which is 192.168.10.1. Then click the FastEthernet tab on the left column to set the actual computers IP address to be on the network. Use 192.168.10.2 for the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask.

Do the same thing for PC1, only use 192.168.20.1 for the gateway address, 192.168.20.2 for the IP address, and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. You can conrm that your network works by sending out a packet of information from PC0 to PC1, and vice versa. Click the packet icon on the right menu as seen below:

Click on PC0 and then click PC1. On the lower right of the screen you will see a message box that says Successful. If it doesnt, you may have had a syntax error when putting in an IP address or router conguration command. Review your work or ask for help among the community if you are stuck.

Closing Comments
Congratulations! You have a small working network. A real-world application of this very network would be to have two computers connected to the Internet, whereas the router would then be connected to your telecommunications company. (Or what we would call the cloud) More advanced devices and topologies wont be so easy, but youre now on the right path to becoming qualied for the CCNA certication exam. Popularity: unranked [?]

Comment by Shaun on 2 December 2010: Hi. I am using Packet Tracer to create a network consisting of a router, 2 switches, and 4 PCs. I am unable to get a successful Ping and all green dots. Too, which connectors to use for Switches to Routers and from Routers to Switches. Totally unfamiliar with Packet Tracer. Any suggestions? 25.

Comment by David Duncan on 6 March 2011: I just nished up a course using Packet Tracer. This tutorial denitely makes it easy to take virtual lab testing to the real world application. Hats o to Cisco and the makers of Packet Tracer. 32. Comment by bornoy on 15 April 2011: hi,I was installing the internet download manager on my notebook but after that, I cant have the internet access. When I remove this program my internet access is coming back. How can I solve this problem? 33. Comment by varyb on 20 April 2011: i revised my congs and at alast it is successful Thanks for the person who build this site which is very useful for all the students who are at learning stage like me. Cheers Varun 34. Comment by Ransford on 28 April 2011: This is excellent, for beginners like me, Ive enjoyed this. please give us more and complex lab, thanks a lot 35. Comment by CandyBullets on 8 June 2011: David; You need to congure a static address on each router port because the two ports on the router are routing ports, not switchports. The 192.168.X.X is a class C address space, which means that 192.168.10.0 and 192.168.20.0 are in dierent networks. The router will automatically be aware of any networks it is directly connected to, but bear in mind that youll need to enable a routing protocol (EIGRP OSPF, , RIPv2) if you connect two or more routers together. 36. Comment by john on 13 July 2011: you guys can type int fa 0/0 instead of interface fastethernet 0/0 for short cuts. same as congure terminal u can put cong t.
