Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will use the Physical view of Packet Tracer to add backgrounds, containers, and network devices.
Ste p 1: Ope n the Physical View of Packet Tracer
a. Launch Packet Tracer.
When Packet Tracer opens, the default view is the Logical view.
b. Change to the Physical view. Click the Physical view button to change to the Physical view. The Physical view button is behind the Logical view button in the top left portion of the workspace.
Click Set Background at the top of the Packet Tracer window and in the Set Background Image window, click the Browse button to navigate to the saved image. Select the image and then click Apply. Close the Set Background Image window.
After you click Apply, the image is saved as the Physical view background.
Ste p 3: Edit and M ove Between Containers
a. Relocate the Home City. In the Intercity view is a Home City container. The Home City container can be moved to any location in the Physical view. Click and drag the Home City container to any place on the world map background. b. Apply a background image to the Home City. Click the Home City container. Notice that the view changes and what is on the workspace now is the default Home City background. Zoom out by clicking the magnifying glass with the minus sign so that the whole background is visible.
If you click the Back menu item in the Physical view tool bar, you can see that the city background you applied is also now used on the Home City container in the Intercity view.
Click the Home City text and change the name of the Home City container. In this example, the name is changed to Atlanta. This also changes the name of the Home City in the Physical view tool bar.
Click the Home City container to return to the Home City view.
Ste p 4: Add De v ices to a Wiring Closet
a. Enter the Corporate Office view.
The Main Wiring Closet container has a blank workspace.
b. Add devices to the Main Wiring Closet. In the Main Wiring Closet view, add a router to the workspace just as you would in the Logical view by clicking a router in the device window and then clicking the workspace. Because we are in Physical view, Packet Tracer shows a rack with the router installed in the rack.
c. Add more devices to the wiring closet. Add a network switch, a generic server, and a cable modem to the wiring closet.
b. Add cabling to the devices to the Main Wiring Closet. To add cabling to the devices, switch back to the Logical view in Packet Tracer. You may need to zoom in and re-center the workspace to see the devices. The devices are randomly placed in the Logical view workspace.
