Best 2 Ways How to Add Text in Packet Tracer

 

In packet tracer, we write the IP address or hostname by labeling our network topology. So if you don’t know How to Add Text in Packet Tracer this post is only for you.

How to Add Labels in Packet Tracer

I have drawn a simple network topology with two pcs and one router. Please see the attached image. My default router name is Router0 and PCs names are PC0 and PC1. I will not configure PCs and Router and my purpose is not to show the configuration. I will show you how to add text box in packet tracer.

For example, I want to assign those IP addresses for Router0, PC0 and PC1,192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 respectively. For my convenience, I will add three text boxes besides Router0, PC0, and PC1. When I will configure this topology I need to change the host names. Say for example my Router0 hostname has changed to R. PC0 and PC1 host names will be changed to PC-A and PC-B.

 

So now I will add or write those host names to my topology by just clicking on the word Router0, PC0, and PC1 in the cisco packet tracer. Then edit option will be opened. Please follow the attached screenshot.
