Group-A
(Data Communication & Networking)
Exercise No. 1:- Familiarization With Packet Tracer

Objective: The Objective of this practical exercise is to become familiar with

creating topologies in Packet Tracer.

Packet Tracer – Creating a New Topology

What is Packet Tracer? Packet Tracer is a protocol simulator developed by

Dennis Frezzo and his team at Cisco Systems. Packet Tracer (PT) is a powerful
and dynamic tool that displays the various protocols used in networking, in
either Real Time or Simulation mode. This includes layer 2 protocols such as
Ethernet and PPP, layer 3 protocols such as IP, ICMP, and ARP and layer 4
protocols such as TCP and UDP. Routing protocols can also be traced.

Version: This is based on Packet Tracer 5.0.

Step 1: Start Packet Tracer

Step 2: Selection of Devices and Connections
We will begin building our network topology by selecting devices and the media connecting them. Several
types of devices and network connections can be used. For this exercise, we will keep it simple by using
End Devices, Switches, Hubs, and Connections.

Single click on each group of devices and connections to display the various choices. The devices you see
may differ slightly.

______________________________
Perform the following steps to connect PC2 to Switch0:
1. Click once on PC2
2. Choose FastEthernet
3. Drag the cursor to Switch0
4. Click once on Switch0 and choose FastEthernet0/1
5. Notice the green link light will appear on PC2 Ethernet NIC and amber light will appear on
Switch0 FastEthernet0/1 port.
The switch port is temporarily not forwarding frames, while it goes through the stages for the
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) process.
6. After about 30 seconds, the amber light will turn to green indicating that the port has entered the
forwarding stage. Frames can now be forwarded out of the switch port.

Note: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) will be discussed later.

1 2 3 4 5 6

Repeat the steps mentioned above for PC3 connecting it to port FastEtherent0/2 of switch0. (The actual switch
port you choose does not matter.)

Move the cursor over the green link light to view the port number. Fa means FastEthernet, 100 Mbps Ethernet.

______________________________
Step 5: Configuring IP Addresses and Subnet Masks on the Hosts
To communicate between the hosts, we need to configure IP Addresses and Subnet Masks on the
devices.

Click once on PC0.

Choose the Config tab and click on Settings. H e r e , you can change the name of PC0. You can also enter
a Gateway IP Address, also known as the default gateway and the DNS Server IP Address. We will discuss
this later, but the value in “default gateway address”, would be the IP address of the local router. If you want,
you can enter the Gateway IP Address [Link] and DNS Server IP Address [Link], although it will
not be used in this lab.

Civil Aviation Training College, India Page 9

 Module-3 Practical Exercise
Data Communication Networking, and OS Linux
______________________________
Click on Interface and then FastEthernet. Add the IP Address as [Link]. Click once in the Subnet
Mask field to enter the default Subnet Mask. You can leave this as [Link].

Also notice, here you can also change the Bandwidth (speed) and Duplex of the Ethernet NIC (Network
Interface Card). The default is Auto (auto-negotiation), which means the NIC will negotiate with the hub or
switch. The bandwidth and/or duplex can be manually set by removing the check from the Auto box and by
choosing the specific option.

Bandwidth - Auto

If the host is connected to a hub or a switch port which can support 100 Mbps, then the Ethernet NIC on
the host will choose 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). Otherwise, if the hub or switch port can only support 10
Mbps, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will automatically choose 10 Mbps (Ethernet).

Duplex - Auto

Hub: If the host is connected to a hub, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose Half Duplex.

Switch: If the host is connected to a switch, and the switch port is configured as Full Duplex (or
Autonegotiation), then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose Full Duplex. If the switch port is configured
as Half Duplex, then the Ethernet NIC on the host will choose Half Duplex. (Full Duplex is a much more
efficient option.)

The information is automatically saved when entered.

simulation again, perform the following tasks:

Click Delete in the PDU area.

Now, select Power Cycle Devices and confirm the action.

Waiting for Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

Note: Because Packet Tracer also simulates the Spanning Tree Protocol, at times, the switch may show
amber lights on its interfaces. You need to wait for the lights to turn green on the switches before they will
forward any Ethernet frames.

Exercise No. 2: - Switch & Router Configuration

Objective: The objective of this practical exercise is to configure basic settings

on a Cisco switch and Router.
.
NETWORK DIAGRAM:

Lab instructions:
A new switch or router purchased from Cisco contains no default configuration in
it. You need to configure the switch or router with setup mode using the setup mode
or from scratch using the command line interface (CLI) before connecting it in your
network environment. It is very important to know the basic Cisco switch or router
configuration commands to improve the performances and the security of your
