Back to month ago, whereby I attend my CCNA course, and the CCNA’s tutor provide us a software name “Packet Tracer“, a Cisco simulation software, to learn how to use this software, the CCNA’s tutor also provide use 6 module of Packet Tracer Video tutorial, and I manage to upload 2 module of video tutorial beginning of this month. You can get back the video tutorial at Packet Tracer Video Tutorial Part 1.

Video Tutorial 3 – Troubleshooting on Packet Tracer

In this video tutorial, the students are using the wrong cable type to connect between Cisco switch and workstation. The diagram indicated red dot, which means traffic cannot pass through. The tutor has advice the student how to troubleshoot, by checking on the cable type, to change from cross-over cable to straight-through cable. Problem have been solved after changing the cable type. Green dot appear, and the student able to send a packet from 1 workstation to another workstation. This is how the Cisco simulation software works.

If 1 end green dot (Workstation), 1 end orange dot (Switch) which means the switch is using a spanning tree protocol, it requires some time to change the color to green dot (1 or 2 minutes)

Video Tutorial 4 – Using Packet Tracer in Presentation

The tutor shows how to use packet tracer to open the interface on the router, do Cisco basic configuration on the router, put the hostname as “myrouter” and also show run (Show all the current configuration)

Router > en
Router # config t
Router(config) # hostname MyRouter
MyRouter(config) # exit
MyRouter # sh run

Soon I will update another 2 more module on packet tracer video tutorial 5, and video tutorial 6. Stay Tune 🙂
