4 sections • 10 lectures • 1h 9m total length

Introduction1:04
Explore the Cisco Packet Tracer interface, obtain a copy, learn IOS access levels, connect and configure devices, test connectivity, and distinguish saving files from running configurations, including password bypass concepts.
Downloading Cisco Packet Tracer from netacad.com3:34
Download the latest Cisco Packet Tracer from netacad, using version 7.2.1.0218 on 64-bit Windows, log in with netacad credentials, and explore the interface and basic topologies.

Program Interface, Modes of work, Tips and Tricks8:03
Explore the Packet Tracer interface, switch between logical and physical and realtime and simulation modes, add, move, delete, copy devices, and use the CLI and zoom features.
Types of Connections10:32
Explore connectivity types with two Cisco 2811 routers, show console cable setup and CLI access, and compare cross-over, straight-through, fiber, and the impact of power-off on startup config.

Levels of Access in Cisco IOS and How to Use the Tab Key10:03
Explore the Cisco IOS command hierarchy from user to privileged to global configuration modes, using tab completion, perform interface and VLAN configurations, and view running-config via show commands.
Hostname, Banners, Access Passwords6:50
Configure a Cisco IOS router by setting a hostname, creating enable password and enable secret hashed with MD5, and adding a banner motd using a chosen delimiter.
Configuring a Simple Network10:42
Configure a simple network with a router, a switch, and a pc; assign 192.168.1.1/24 to the router and 192.168.1.5 to the pc, then test connectivity using ping and simulation mode.
Saving the .PKT file vs Saving the configuration5:42
Bypassing a password on a Cisco router9:29
Learn to bypass a Cisco router password by using rommon to set 2142, boot from blank config, then copy startup-config to running-config and set a new enable secret.

Description

If you're looking to use Cisco's network simulator "Cisco Packet Tracer", you've come to the right place! This course will take you through the download process and show you how to get the latest, original version of the tool for FREE, you will learn how to use the program's interface and how to handle both the basic options, and the ones that are not so obvious - but needed to help you in your mission to learn networking through simulations!

I made this short course because I myself taught networking at a University, and we used Cisco Packet Tracer in those classes as well. I would introduce the program first, and explain how it works before getting into the networking labs, but the students who'd miss that first lesson always struggled to catch up. Afterwards, I've noticed that many networking courses that use Packet Tracer don't teach you about the program itself. That's when I decided to create a sort of a guide for anyone who's just starting to use this fantastic simulator!

Hope you find it useful - see you in class!
