ICND1 Network Simulator Lite

Cider

Hi Guys,

I am doing the practice labs included with the Official Study guide for ICND1.

On the second Configuring IP Address I am at this point.

Step 4. Connect to PC2 from the simulator user interface.

I am at the router config and I have no idea how to connect to the PC. I am so embarrassed. If anyone has gone through this, would you mind helping me out. I have gone through the commands (they give you a PDF) but for the life of me I cant do it.

Any help appreciated.

Is this on the SIM lite? Its asking you to use the simulator GUI to at a guess assign the PC an IP address, not the router CLI. On GNS3 you right click on it for properties, on Packet Tracer you also right click for options, on BOSON you change the device you are connected to with a drop down and issue commands for the CLI.

You are misunderstanding the question I think. You can't connect to a PC from a router and configure the PC.

Ahhh.

I was trying to telnet / SSH to the PC and change the IP this way.

I will try figure out how to assign it via the CLI.

Thanks for the reply.

Click on the PC and use the cmd prompt.

So I come back in shame ... I see that you have to actually click on the picture of whatever you want to connect too.

To be honest they dont tell you this ... :P

Anyways, thanks for the replies.

Haha, yeah I was looking last night on some of the free labs with the Lite. Glad you managed to sort it!

OK, that was weird!!! stepping into the next realm; you must step back from the material, "unlearn what you have learned"

I'm trying to get the answer but somehow I cant follow.

Please post the detailed answer here.

I got the answer, sorry for the slow catch.

1. Click on PC2, then it will bring you to C:\>
2. C:\>ip address 10.10.20.101 255.255.255.0
3. C:\>gateway 10.10.20.1
4. Ping 10.10.20.1 and ping 10.10.20.10
5. To verify that the default gateway setting worked, ping PC1's IP address using the ping 10.10.10.101 command. The ping should succeed.
