00:00:00,600  -->  00:00:06,120
In this video, we are going to learn how to
connect the mikrotik router and Cisco router

2

00:00:06,140  -->  00:00:14,920
to our computer. If we look at this topology,
note that the computer is connected to a switch,

3

00:00:15,440  -->  00:00:23,600
then the mikrotik and Cisco router are also
connected to the switch. Later we will configure

4

00:00:23,740  -->  00:00:34,800
the ip address 192.168.1.1 on the computer,
192.168.1.2 on the mikrotik, and 192.168.1.3

5

00:00:34,800  -->  00:00:45,120
on cisco. Here we know that mikrotik and cisco
are on gns3, meaning we need to create a virtual

6

00:00:45,220  -->  00:00:55,560
interface on our computer, why? Because gns3
is virtual, so we must make a virtual interface

7

00:00:55,620  -->  00:01:01,480
on our computer to connecting our computer
with router on gns3.

8

00:01:02,660  -->  00:01:13,299
To create a virtual interface, you can enter
start, then type hdwwiz, this stands for hardware

9

00:01:13,300  -->  00:01:32,640
wizard. next, here, chose recommended, next,
next, choose network adapters, , select Microsoft

10

00:01:32,760  -->  00:01:47,940
on the left, and on the right, choose loopback
adapter, next, next, and finish.

11

00:01:48,940  -->  00:01:56,420
After create a virtual interface, we need
to restart our computer. But before that let’s

12

00:01:56,420  -->  00:01:59,760
save our project on gns3 first.

13

00:02:04,340  -->  00:02:12,280
Okay, I'm done restarting my computer. To
prove that our virtual interface is already up

14

00:02:12,280  -->  00:02:20,800
We can enter the open network and sharing
center. Then change adapter settings

15

00:02:22,080  -->  00:02:30,020
here we can see that we have Microsoft loopback
adapter, which is the Local area connection 2

16

00:02:30,030  -->  00:02:37,960
Now let’s configure the ip address for
this interface. According to our topology,

17

00:02:37,960  -->  00:02:42,400
the IP Address is 192.168.1.1.

18

00:02:50,900  -->  00:03:04,120
Next, let’s open our project on gns3. enter
the project library, select our project, then ok

19

00:03:06,940  -->  00:03:14,640
Okay here we see mikrotik and cisco router.
Next we need to import a cloud

20

00:03:15,560  -->  00:03:25,920
the cloud will act as our computer. We also need to
import an Ethernet switch.

21

00:03:27,740  -->  00:03:36,320
Next we need to configure this cloud to act
as our computer. Right click on it, and choose configure

22

00:03:37,460  -->  00:03:42,400
Here we have to check show special
Ethernet interface

23

00:03:43,020  -->  00:03:53,120
Here select local area connection 2, local area connection 2 is our
loopback adapter interface. Then choose add

24

00:03:53,120  -->  00:03:59,280
and okay. Finally, let’s connect the cable
from our computer to the switch

25

00:04:01,600  -->  00:04:14,360
from the switch to the mikrotik, from Cisco to the
switch. Now let’s turn on the mikrotik & cisco router

26

00:04:20,580  -->  00:04:27,520
if the cpu usage reach 100%, we can do auto
idle pc on Cisco router.

27

00:04:36,220  -->  00:04:43,200
Now let’s try to configure the IP address
on the mikrotik and Cisco router, but before

28

00:04:43,200  -->  00:04:49,880
that it is strongly recommended to look at
the interface that is installed on the mikrotik

29

00:04:49,880  -->  00:04:58,420
and Cisco, by clicking this icon, here we
can see that the mikrotik is in Ether 0

30

00:04:58,640  -->  00:05:06,820
but the interface naming on mikrotik router is
started from ethernet1, so ether 0 here means

31

00:05:06,820  -->  00:05:14,360
ether1, then on the cisco, the interface is
fa0 / 0.

32

00:05:14,360  -->  00:05:19,400
Ok, let’s configure the ip address on the
mikrotik router first.

33

00:05:23,380  -->  00:05:38,760
The mikrotik ip address will be 192.168.1.2. Next let’s configure
the ip address on the Cisco router.

34

00:05:42,120  -->  00:05:47,920
The ip address of cisco router will be 192.168.1.3.

35

00:05:57,160  -->  00:06:02,800
Now, let’s try to ping from our computer
to the Mikrotik and Cisco router.

36

00:06:03,000  -->  00:06:13,820
Open the command prompt, let’s ping the mikrotik
first, which is 192.168.1.2, okay it works,

37

00:06:14,460  -->  00:06:27,900
then let’s try ping to the Cisco router.
Okay, it also works. Now we have successfully

38

00:06:27,900  -->  00:06:31,960
connected our computer with Cisco and Mikrotik
routers.

39

00:06:32,740  -->  00:06:39,220
In the next video, we are going to learn how
to configure ssh on mikrotik & cisco.

40

00:06:39,520  -->  00:06:43,160
