Study Notes
Packet Tracer Overview
- The primary function of Packet Tracer is to simulate network configurations and troubleshoot network issues.
Displaying Protocols
- Packet Tracer can display various protocols, including OSPF, EIGRP, and IPv6.
Recommended Practices
- The recommended practice for students using Packet Tracer is to design and build a network topology, and then simulate and troubleshoot it.
Selecting Devices
- Clicking on a device in Packet Tracer selects it.
- Single-clicking on a group of devices in Packet Tracer selects all devices in that group.
Building Network Topology
- Packet Tracer recommends building a network topology by adding devices one by one, starting with the hub.
Adding Devices
- To add three more hosts, click on the "End Devices" button first.
- To add a hub, select the "Hub" device.
- To add a switch, click on the "Network Devices" button first, and then select the "Switch" device.
Connecting Devices
- To connect PC0 to Hub0, simply drag and drop the connection between the two devices.
- To connect PC2 to Switch0, simply drag and drop the connection between the two devices.
