Part 1: Build a Simple Network in the Logical Topology Workspace
a. Step 1: Launch Packet Tracer.
a. Launch Packet Tracer on your PC or laptop computer
Double click on the Packet Tracer icon on your desktop or navigate to the directory that contains the
Packet Tracer executable file and launch Packet Tracer. Packet Tracer should open with a blank default
Logical topology workspace as shown in the figure.

b. Step 2: Build the topology


i. Add network devices to the workspace.

Using the device selection box, add the network devices to the workspace as shown in the topology
diagram.

To place a device onto the workspace, first choose a device type from the Device-Type Selection box.
Then, click on the desired device model from the Device-Specific Selection box. Finally, click on a
location in the workspace to put your device in that location. If you want to cancel your selection, click the
Cancel icon for that device. Alternatively, you can click and drag a device from the Device-Specific
Selection box onto the workspace.

ii. Change display names of the nework devices.
To change the display names of the network devices click on the device icon on the Packet Tracer
Logical workspace, then click on the Config tab in the device configuration window. In the Config tab
type the new name of the device into the Display Name box as show in the figure.

iii. Add the physical cabling between devices on the workspace

Using the device selection box, add the physical cabling between devices on the workspace as shown in
the topology diagram.

The PC will need a copper straight-through cable to connect to the Wireless Router. Select the copper
straight-through cable in the Device-Selection box and attach it to the FastEthernet0 interface of the PC
and the Ethernet 1 interface of the Wireless Router.

The Wireless Router will need a copper straight-through cable to connect to the Cable Modem. Select the
copper straight-through cable in the Device-Selection box and attach it to the Internet interface of the
Wireless Router and the Port 1 interface of the Cable Modem.

The Cable Modem will need a coaxial cable to connect to the Internet cloud. Select the coaxial cable in
the Device-Selection box and attach it to the Port 0 interface of the Cable Modem and the coaxial
interface of the Internet cloud.

The Interne cloud will need copper straight-through cable to connect to the Cisco.com server. Select the
copper straight-through cable in the Device-Selection box and attach it to the Ethernet interface of the
Internet cloud and the FastEthernet0 interface of the Cisco.com server.
