The document describes implementing different network topologies like star and bus using Cisco Packet Tracer or NS2 software. It provides details of the hardware and software requirements and the steps to configure a bus topology in Packet Tracer by connecting devices to a router and configuring the router interface with an IP address. It also provides a brief description of a star topology where multiple devices are connected to a central switch.

Semester: 4th Date of Performance:21-03-2023


Subject Name: Computer Networks Subject Code: 21CSH-256

1. Aim:
Implement different network topologies like Star, Bus with thehelp of packet tracer or
NS2 software.

2. Software Requirements: Cisco Packet Tracer

3. Hardware Requirements:
Processor – Any suitable Processor e.g., i5
Main Memory – minimum 128MB RAM
Hard Disk – minimum 20 GB IDE Hard Disk
Keyboard and Mouse/ Touchpad

4. Method:
"Bus" topology implementation in Cisco Packet Tracer is again a simple configuration
that has tobe done. It is too simple to deal with the configuration here, in a way that all
you need to do is to configure router correctly.

Let us see how this works, following these steps:


You will have to connect the network management system
included.Now in order to configure the Router, we will follow
this procedure.
2811 Router that we have used, have 3 fastEthernet ports, named 0/0 and 0/1. Currently the
switchthat has been attached to the router is along the fastEthernet 0/0 port.

Now, router on the other hand is connected to a PC directly via console cable, through console port
.from where we shall actually be configuring the router. Actual routers configuration requires us to
.connect the routers through some programs like putty.

Here are router configurations:

Enter the "global configuration" mode in the


router.Router>enable
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Now, in order to configure the interface, enter the interface configuration mode as
follows.General syntax can be stated as:

Router(config)#interface fastEthernet
0/0Router(config-if)#

As in the interface mode, you will have to configure a static IP for the interface, which shall
beacting as a "default gateway" to the entire network held by that interface.

Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0


By default, the interface is down. You can simply get the status of each and every interface of a
network management system, in packet tracer by hovering the mouse pointer over the device.In
order to administratively turn the interface up/on, you must actually write-down following
command:

Router(config-if)#no
shutdownRouter(config-if)#

The effect will be visible in the light that is blinking over the links.

And now, set the IP address for each and every work station, statically. If you do not want to

configure each and every work station's ip address statically, you will have to assign DHCP role
for the router. Well, configuring DHCP role for router has been explained again in the Core
Networking Labs section.

Star Topology:

In Star topology, all devices are connected to a central device. If one device has some problems, it will
not affect the connections between other devices. But if the central device has problems, then the
connection will no longer be established.
We connect multiple PCs to a switch or hub and the switch/hub acts as the central device.
We then assign IP address to every node/device and now we can transfer packets or messages through
the network.

RESULT: Simulated Star and Bus Network topologies
