How Can I Use Packet Tracer? Problem Scenario:
Your students need to learn how to configure a router Ethernet interface and to verify connectivity to this interface from a PC that has been configured to participate on the network.
How can you demonstrate this to the whole group?
How can they practice what they’ve learned?
How can you test their ability to complete all of the steps on their own?
Use Packet Tracer!

The Topology
As a group:
Start with the finished topology.
Walk students through the steps.
Individually:
Students will create the devices, connect the devices, and configure the devices.
Students will test connectivity from the PC to the router.

You can create multiple instances of the same device by holding down the CTRL key and drag the device.
A Few Tips:
Cancel creating a device by clicking on it again or another tool. Also, the ESC key will cancel any action.
Multiple devices can be selected at one time using the select tool and dragging a box around the desired devices.

GUI Configuration
In this example, we are assuming that students either have not learned configuration through CLI, or are just beginning to learn this.
Packet Tracer offers students the ability to make some basic configuration changes through a GUI interface, while also showing them the equivalent IOS commands.

Configuring Router Hostname
1. To configure a device, click on it and then click the Config tab.
2. Type hostname in both places; one for Display Name and one for Hostname
3. Device name is updated in topology.
4. Equivalent IOS commands are shown here.

Verifying Connectivity There are several ways to verify connectivity in Packet
Tracer.
In Realtime mode, open a command prompt from the PC desktop and issue a ping just as you would in the classroom with real equipment.
In Simulation Mode, create a simulation that allows you to open up the packet at different points along the path to view how the device is processing the packet.

Verifying in Realtime Mode
In Realtime mode, select Desktop from the tabbed interface. Click the Command Prompt icon to open a command prompt from the PC.

Simulation Mode? Most of the work so far has been completed in the
Realtime Mode. In Realtime Mode, your network is always running (like a real network) whether you are working on the network or not. Your configurations are created and modified in real time, and the network responds in real time.
Simulation Mode is used to observe network traffic in a detailed and controlled pace to observe the paths that packets take and inspect packets in detail.
Simulation Mode allows us to create and examine packets.

Create a PDU
1. Click the Simple PDU icon.
2. Select the Source device.
3. Select the Destination Device.
Packet Tracer 5.x:

Event List
The Event List window records (or "captures") what happens as your PDU propagates the network.
The PDU List will show the PDU information.
The Event List can be filtered to show specific kinds of traffic.

Results
A successful ping will show a green check mark.
As the simulation runs, events will be added to the list. These events show the packet’s state at each step along the path.

I Do Not See My PDU!
Check your Event List Filters. If none are selected…the PDU won’t show up!

I See PDUs I Did Not Create!
Check your Event List Filters. Beginners might want to limit their list to ICMP only.

Check the status of your “STP” before switching to Simulation Mode. All switch ports should be green before entering Simulation Mode.
You may need to reset the network by clicking Power Cycle Devices. But make sure your device configurations are saved first!
