Packet Tracer 4.11 Help

Hi,

I'm just testing a network I made using packet tracer 4.11. I have several VLANs configured with trunks and want to test them. Howe would i do this exactly in packet tracer? I'm tempted to add a pc and configure it with and ip from the VLAN and then try to get pings to ping (or not ping) eachother. I'm sure there must be a better way to this via packet tracer?

Also, how can i add a connection going to an ISP (E.g. s 0/0 from a router goes to the ISP) and how would i add another network (e.g. i want to represent that a network - 180.150.1.0 for example - is connected to a router via f 0/0).

Thanks

Yes thats the one. I'm familiar with all the basic adding, pinging etc of devices . Just wanted some advice on exactly how to implement my OP in packet tracer.

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

I have another question now

When viewing the running and startup configs for the switches the commands to actually create my vlans (VLAN DATABASE > VLAN xx name fhsdjkfjksd) isn't there. However, all the commands for trunking are there. Do i need to include this in my config file???

The actual VLANs arnt stored in the running/startup config, or have I missed something big?

Using IOS ver:12.1 here. The ports commands like 'switchport access vlan 10' and stuff is in the run/start config but not the actual VLAN's and their names.

VLAN 1 information is stored in the configs with IP address etc.

Whats the 'modern' cisco's you talk of?

Yer can see the vlan 1 info - ip etc in the config file. All the other commands relating to trunking are there too it just the bit where the vlans are created. I only ask as for a case study i have to include config files for switches/routers etc. I also noticed this too when i searhing about.
