PRACTICAL-9
Aim :- To demonstrate a basic networking concept using Cisco Packet Tracer.

Hardware requirements: pc or laptop.

Software requirements: Cisco Packet Tracer.

 Packet Tracer is a  cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco


Systems that allows users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer
networks. The software allows users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers
and switches using a simulated command line interface. Packet Tracer makes use of
a drag and drop user interface, allowing users to add and remove simulated network
devices as they see fit. The software is mainly focused towards Certified Cisco
Network Associate Academy students as an educational tool for helping them learn
fundamental CCNA concepts.
 Packet Tracer can be run on iOS, Linux and Microsoft Windows. A similar Android
app is also available. Packet Tracer allows users to create simulated network
topologies by dragging and dropping routers, Application Layer protocols, as well as
basic routing with RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, BDP, to the extents required by the
current CCNA curriculum. As of version 5.3, Packet Tracer also supports the Border
Gateway Protocol.

 Basic Network steps Through pcket tracer :-


 Step-1 : Open your Network Topology. Once you've opened your Network Topology
on Cisco Packet Tracer, access your network and identify the components of your
network, for example; Servers, Routers, End Devices, etc.

 Step-2 : Complete the cabling. Access the cables section and connect completely and
correctly the cables between the network in order to ensure connectivity between the
devices in the network using the connections table given.

 Step-3 :Configure the IP addresses on the end devices. Using the address table still,
correctly and completely configure the IP addresses on all end devices. This can be
done by accessing the desktop platform on each device and locating the IP
configuration section. The reason for doing this is to enable the devices be on the right
network.

 Step-4 : After configuring the right IP addresses on the end devices, you will have to
do the same on the routers and switches also, using the address table. But this time in
a different way because there's no desktop platform on the routers and switches.  

 Step-5 : Configure your default gateway. After configuring the IP addresses, you will
need to configure the default gateway also. The reason for this is so the end devices
would know what network they are operating on. You can find the default gateway
either in the addressing table (if given) or in the network topology.

 Step-6 : Test connectivity. After configuring the addresses, you will have to test
connectivity by opening a command prompt window on the end devices and try
pinging the address which the network operates on. If it gives you a reply, it means
your network was configured correctly.

 Question and Answer


1. What is the use of Cisco Packet Tracer?
 Ans. Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulator that can be utilized in training for
CCNA and CCNP certification exam by allowing students to create networks with an
almost unlimited number of devices and to experience troubleshooting without having
to buy real Cisco routers or switches.

 Conclusion
 In this Practical we know about how to create small network using cisco Packet
tracer.
