Computer Networks Lab: Lab Report: 06 Connecting Local Area Networks (Lans) Using Router

This document describes a lab report on connecting local area networks (LANs) using a router. The objective is to understand LAN concepts and how to connect multiple networks using a router. The lab procedure involves setting up two LANs on different IP ranges, configuring the router interfaces with IP addresses, and testing connectivity between PCs on different LANs by sending messages. The learning outcome is how to develop multiple LAN networks connected by a router to enable communication between them.

Lab No. 06
Connecting Local Area Networks (LANs) using
Router
OBJECTIVE:
This lab has the following objectives:

1. To understand the concept of Local Area Networks (LANs).


2. Learn to create LAN networks between two or more networks using Router.

DISCUSSION:
Following are the resources required for this experiment

1. Computer
2. Packet Tracer

Introduction:
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers within a limited
area such as a residence, school, laboratory, university campus or office building and has its
network equipment and interconnects locally managed. For example here i have taken two ip
from different network. First ip is 192.168.1.100 from 192.168.1.0 network and other ip
192.168.2.100 from 192.168.2.0 network .Now these ip cannot ping each other using hub or
switch because they belongs to two different network. So to make two machine from different
network communicate each other we need to use router.

Procedure For Simulations Of Lab Tasks


1. Select six PCs and a Switch from the menu.
2. Connect the four PCs with the switch using Copper Straight through Cable.
3. Click on the PC, a window will appear, click on the Desktop tab.
4. Select IP Configuration from the menu and assign IPs to all PCs
5. Set default gateway for all four PCs as 192.168.10.1.
6. Pick a Router from the menu and connect it with the Switch using Copper Straight
through Cable.
7. Connect a Console cable between a Router and one of the PCs.
8. Click on the PC and select Desktop tab.
9. Choose Terminal from the menu and click OK.
10. Write a command enable after Router>.
11. Next type configure terminal after Router#.
12. In order to enable the Fast Ethernet connection between a Switch and Router, type a
command interface fastethernet0/0.
13. Move to the next line and write a command ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0.
14. Subsequently, type a command no shutdown.
15. Exit the configuration mode by using a command exit.
16. Connect a PC with router and assign IP address as 192.168.20.1.
17. Set default gateway for the PC as 192.168.20.1.
18. Connect a Console cable between a Router and PC by breaking connection
established previously.
19. Enter the configuration mode by using the commands discussed earlier.
20. In order to enable the Fast Ethernet connection between a PC and Router, type a
command interface fastethernet0/0.
21. Move to the next line and write a command ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0.
22. Subsequently, type a command no shutdown.
23. Type exit command twice and write a command show running-config in privileged
mode.
24. A menu will appear which shows the settings you did for the Fast Ethernet
connections of the Router.

25. Send a message from one of the PCs connected with switch and to the PC on the
other side of the router.

26. See the status of the message sent in the window to the bottom right
LAB TASKS
Task#01 Now using above concept solve the below question.Take two different
network and configure router to make all those pc ping each other or
communicate each other.

Simulation of the connection


Screenshot of the connection is shown in the picture below.

1. Connection
2. Select IP Configuration from the menu and assign IPs to all four PCs as:
• PC-00: 192.168.10.4
• PC-01: 192.168.10.3
• PC-02: 192.168.10.2
• PC-03: 192.168.20.2
• PC-04: 192.168.20.4
• PC-05: 192.168.20.5
• PC-06: 192.168.30.2
• PC-07: 192.168.30.3
• PC-08: 192.168.30.4
