In Cisco Packet Tracer, you can turn off a router in two main ways:
1. Using the Power Button (GUI Method)
1.
Click on the router to open its configuration
window.
2.
Go to the Physical tab.
3.
Locate the power switch on the device.
4.
Click the power switch to turn it off.
Suppose
I took a router in Packet Tracer. When I click on this router, a new window will pop up like the image. Then notice the Physical device view section. Then Click on Zoom In for your convenience. You will see a switch 1 and 0; 1 means ON, and 0 means OFF. In default mode, the Router is ON, and that’s why you will see a Green light. So, to turn off the router, please follow the above-mentioned guidelines.
2. Using the No Power Supply (Cable
Removal)
1.
Click on the router.
2.
Go to the Physical tab.
3.
Find the power adapter cable and remove
it.
3. Shutting Down an Interface (Not
Entire Router)
If
you only want to disable specific interfaces instead of the whole router, use
the following CLI commands:
Router> enable
Router# configure
terminal
Router(config)#
interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
Router(config-if)#
shutdown
Router(config-if)#
exit
Router(config)#
exit
Router#
This
will disable only the GigabitEthernet 0/0 interface, but the router will
remain powered on.
Would
you like further clarification? 😊
