Objectives
This lab is designed to use the packet Tracer Physical environment to create and equip a wiring closet.
Routers, and switches will be selected, placed into a rack, and the routers will have specific WAN modules
added. The devices will be cabled according to the diagram, configured using basic commands and
connectivity will be tested.
Required Resources
1 Equipment rack and table
2 Routers (Cisco 4321)
2 Switches (Cisco 2960)
2 PCs
Ethernet and Serial cables as shown in the topology
Instructions
Step 1: Locate the wiring closet and create an equipment rack and table
a. Click within the ‘Home City’ area in the Physical desktop environment.
b. Click within the ‘Corporate Office’ area.
c. Click within the ‘Main Wiring Closet’.
d. In the toolbar in the upper-right section of the screen, locate and select the icon for ‘Create New Rack’.
e. From the same toolbar, locate and select the icon for ‘Create New Table’
f. In the top toolbar, use the zoom-out magnifying glass icon to verify the rack and table were created.

e. From the devices section, locate a desktop PC and drag it into the wiring closet. The PC should
automatically place itself on the table. Zoom out to confirm this.
f. Repeat the previous step for a second desktop PC.
g. The devices in the rack can be moved down to align with the PCs. Drag each device down the rack to the
correct position to align with the PCs.
Step 3: Provision R1
a. Left-click on the top router in the rack to open the configuration box.
b. With the ‘Physical’ tab open, select ‘Zoom In’ to enlarge the router image. Drag the right side of the
configuration box towards the right to expand it enough to see the entire router.
1) Locate the power switch on the router and observe the green power-on indicator under the switch.
2) Click the power switch and observe the green indicator is no longer on.
3) In the column to the left of the router, locate and select the ‘NIM-2T’ Network Interface Module. It will
appear in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
4) Drag the NIM-2T module to the left-side NIM slot on the router.
5) In the column to the left of the router, locate and select the ‘NIM-Cover’. It will appear in the bottom-
right corner of the screen.
6) Drag the cover to the right-side NIM slot on the router.
7) Toggle the router power switch again to turn the router on.
c. Select the ‘Config’ tab from the top line. Wait for the router to complete booting if necessary.
1) Change the section for ‘Display Name’ to R1 (this must be exactly R1).
2) Observe that the label under the router in the rack has changed to R1.
d. Select the ‘CLI’ tab from the top line.
1) Press ‘Enter’ to get the user-exec mode prompt. Use the enable command to enter privilege-exec
mode.
2) From the privilege-exec mode prompt, use the show ip interface brief command to display and
verify the interface designations on the router.
Question:
What interfaces are on the router?
Note: The router should have Serial 0/1/0 and Serial 0/1/1 interfaces. If the output displays Serial 0/2/0
and Serial 0/2/1, the NIM-2T is in the wrong slot. Power the router off and use the ‘Delete’ tool to remove
the NIM-2T and NIM-Cover. Start at step 3.b.c above and be sure the NIM-2T is in the left NIM slot.
Step 4: Provision R2
a. Locate the second router in the rack.
b. Repeat the process from Step 3 above for this router using R2 for the Display Name.

1) Observe that the label under the switch in the rack has changed to S1.
d. Repeat sub-steps a-c above for the remaining switch and the PCs, using the names S2, PC-A and PC-B.
R2 Serial0/1/0 R1 Serial0/1/1
c. Position the cursor arrow over the router labelled R2 and left-click.
1) From the drop-down menu select Serial0/1/0. Nothing will appear to change on the screen.
d. Position the cursor arrow over the router labelled R1 and left-click.
1) From the drop-down menu select Serial0/1/1. Cable ends should appear on the routers.
e. Hover the cursor arrow over the cable end on R1 and confirm that the dialog box indicates that R1-S0/1/1
connects to R2-S0/1/0.
Note: If the connection is not correct, use the delete icon to remove the cable and repeat this step.

Part 5: Testing
Pings will be used to test connectivity to other devices in the network. From PC-A, connectivity will be verified
to each device in sequence starting with S1. If a ping is not successful, troubleshoot the problem to resolve
connectivity.

b. At the command prompt (C:\>), generate pings to verify connectivity to various devices.
1) First, try to reach the nearest device, S1: ping 192.168.1.2 (If not successful, troubleshoot until the
ping works).
2) Next, try to reach the default gateway on router R1. ping 192.168.1.1 (Troubleshoot if needed).
3) Repeat (and troubleshoot) the ping tests for the rest of the IP addresses in the Address Table.
