This video explains how to set up an HTTP Web Server in Cisco Packet Tracer.

An HTTP
server allows you to host a website that can be accessed by other devices on the network using
a web browser.
Here is the step-by-step procedure for your exam:

1. Build the Network Topology


●​ Devices: Drag and drop 1 Server (rename it "Web Server"), 1 Switch (e.g., 2960-24TT),
and 3 PCs [00:29].
●​ Connections: Use Copper Straight-Through cables to connect all PCs to the Switch,
and the Switch to the Web Server [01:04].

2. Configure IP Addresses
Assign unique IP addresses from the same network (Class A was used in the video) to ensure
connectivity.
Device IP Address Subnet Mask
Web Server [Link] [Link]
PC 0 [Link] [Link]
PC 1 [Link] [Link]
PC 2 [Link] [Link]
●​ To configure: Click each device → Desktop tab → IP Configuration → enter the IP and
press Tab for the default Subnet Mask [01:37].

3. Enable HTTP Service on the Server


1.​ Open the Web Server and click on the Services tab [03:09].
2.​ Select HTTP from the left-hand menu.
3.​ Ensure both HTTP and HTTPS services are set to On [03:17].
4.​ Edit the Website: Locate the [Link] file in the list and click Edit [03:33].
○​ You can modify the HTML code here (e.g., change the text to "Welcome to my
Server").
○​ Click Save and confirm with Yes [04:01].

4. Verify Connectivity (Accessing the Web Server)


1.​Go to any of the PCs (e.g., PC 0) [04:10].
2.​Navigate to the Desktop tab and open the Web Browser [04:16].
3.​In the URL bar, type the IP address of the Web Server: [Link] and click Go [04:24].
4.​The content of your [Link] file (your website) should appear on the screen [04:40].
5.​Repeat this process from the other PCs to confirm they can also access the server
[04:59].
Summary for Exam:
●​ Protocol: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) used for data transfer between web server
and client [00:13].
●​ Tool: Cisco Packet Tracer Web Browser.
●​ Key Files: [Link] is the default file the browser looks for [03:33].
