Chapter 3 Packettracer Introduction: Learning Objectives

This document provides instructions for implementing a simulated network in PacketTracer. It involves adding various end devices like PCs, servers and printers to the network and configuring their IP addresses. Switches are used to connect the devices in two local area networks (LANs). The LANs are joined using cables and a router is added to the network, configuring its IP address on the fastethernet interface. The full network setup allows for pinging between all devices and introduces concepts like IP addressing, switches, routers and multiple interconnected LANs.

Chapter 3 PacketTracer Introduction

Learning objectives

Examine the PacketTracer software package.


Implement a simulated network environment.
Configure the devices on the simulated network.

Procedure

In the following lab you have to following a series of steps to implement a network with one
subnet.

Step 1:

Open PacketTracer and on the bottom left of PacketTracer choose ‘End devices’. Drag and drop a
PC, a laptop, a server and a printing devices onto the PacketTracer program as in figure 1.

Figure 1: Drag and drop these end devices

Step 2: Configure the IP address of the components on the network

Use the IP addresses shown in Table 1 below and configure the devices. In Table 1 the IP
address configurations of each device is given. In the screen shots in Figures 2 to 6 is an
example of how to change the IP settings on a workstation. To change the configurations of
the other devices is very similar. Double click on the device to change its configuration.
LAN 1

Device IP Subnet Mask Default Gateway


Workstation 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Server 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Laptop 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Printer 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Table 1

Figure 4:Set IP configuration Figure 5: Check configuration using ipconfig

Step 2 questions:
Step 3: Add switch

Drag and drop a switch onto the PacketTracer program. Connect the devices to the switch by
using an appropriate cable. The network should look like figure 6.

Figure 6: Connecting end devices to the switch


Step 4:
Add a second LAN with the devices and configuration listed below in Table 2. Connect the
devices in LAN 2 together using a switch.

Workstation 192.168.1.11 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Server 192.168.1.12 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Laptop 192.168.1.13 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Printer 192.168.1.14 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Table 2

Step 5:
Connect LAN 1 and LAN 2 together using an appropriate cable. The network should look like
figure 7.
Figure 7:

Step 5 questions

Question: Can you ping between every device on the network?


ANS:

Question: Can you ping the switch?


ANS:

Question: What is the switches IP address?


ANS:

Step 6: Add a router to the network.

Connect the router to the switch using an appropriate cable as show in figure 8 below.

Figure 8: Addition of a router to the network

You will need to configure the router (double click on the router and choose CLI).

Command 1: enable
Command 2: Router #config t
Command 3: Router (config)# interface fastethernet0/0

; note it can also be fastethernet0/0, fastethernet0/1 or serial0/0, serial0/1

Command 4: Router (config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0


Command 5: Router (config-if)# no shutdown
