    Cisco Packet Tracer is a network simulation software created by Cisco Systems that allows users to design computer networks in a graphical interface. It contains a variety of networking devices, cables, and end devices that can be dragged and dropped to create network designs. Networks can then be configured and protocols can be tested. Peer-to-peer networks connect computers directly without a centralized server, with each computer taking turns serving as the client or server as needed.

    PRACTICAL- 4

    Aim: Learn basics of Cisco Packet Tracer (CPT) and establish peer to peer
    network using CPT

    Apparatus (Software): Cisco Packet Tracer.

    Procedure:
    What is Cisco Packet Tracer?

    Cisco Packet Tracer is created by Cisco Systems. It is most effective, easy to learn, easy
    to operate and visual network simulation tool. You can create variety of sample network
    design using packet tracer. Using packet tracer interface is really a treat. Packet Tracer
    provides an attractive Graphical User Interface (GUI). Although you can use console or
    Command Line Interface (CLI) option in it. You can easily drag and drop different
    components and create different types of connections. There is a rich toolbox available in
    this software that really helps you in your lab work. It`s basic purpose is to provide a
    reliable simulating platform to students of Cisco Certified Network Associate Academy.

    You can find a variety of end devices like server, client computer, tablet
    PC and telephone. Similarly, you can find a variety of network
    devices like router, hub and switch in the toolbox. There are a lot of network cable
    types available in the toolbox. In addition to these devices, packet tracer also provides you
    rich configuration settings. You can configure various network devices through graphical
    user interface and command line interface. It supports various network protocols.

    Features of Cisco Packet Tracer

     It is available in multi-platforms like Windows, Linux and even Mac. In addition, you can
    also find Android and iOS apps of this software.
     Extremely easy and self-explanatory GUI to work with.
     In Cisco Packet Tracer you can find a lot of built-in tools. There are a lot of end
    devices available like server, desktop computer, laptop computer and tablet PC. Similarly,
    you can find different types of network cables. It comes with a lot of different models
    of Cisco network devices like hub, switch and router.
     You can design computer network in a few simple steps. All you have to do is just to drag
    and drop few devices, connect and configure those.
     There are a lot of different configuration settings for your use. Obviously you can use the
    powerful GUI to configure different devices. But as a plus point you can also use the
    console or command line for executing different commands.
     Packet Tracer provides you with the option of working with different network protocols.

    General Steps for Creating Computer Network Design in Cisco Packet Tracer

    1. Selection of end devices


    2. Choosing a suitable network device
    3. Establishing communication links
    4. Configure IP addresses
    5. Test the working of computer network

    What is Peer to Peer Network?


    Alternatively it is referred to as a P2P Network. In a peer to peer computer network,
    each network node has a generic status. It means that each computer has the same status as
    that of another computer present in computer network. You can`t say which one is
    a server and which one is a client. Instead role of each computer changes in accordance to
    its function being performed. Normally such computer networking scenarios are less
    common. Moreover, peer to peer network is actually an Adhoc Network. These are not
    used in long term scenarios. Instead you can use it for instant operations. Establishment of
    such networks don`t require too much networking equipment. Establishment, management,
    troubleshooting and destruction of p2p network is really easy and straight forward.
