 Session 1: Building a Local Area Network

Objectives
1. To learn basics of Local Area Network (LAN)
2. Understand different types of LAN devices
3. To learn procedure to make Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) cable

Description
What is a LAN?
A LAN is a high-speed data network that covers a relatively small geographic area. It typically
connects workstations, personal computers, printers, servers, and other devices. LANs offer
computer users many advantages, including shared access to devices and applications, file
exchange between connected users, and communication between users via electronic mail and
other applications.

LAN Protocols and the OSI Reference Model

LAN protocols function at the lowest two layers of the OSI reference model i.e. between the
physical layer and the data link layer. Figure 1 illustrates how several popular LAN protocols
map to the OSI reference model.

Figure 1: Popular LAN Protocols Mapped to the OSI Reference Model

Page | 2
LAN Devices:

1. NIC (Network Interface Card): Also called Network Adapter. It connects a host to a
network medium. It provides the physical interface between computer and cabling. It
prepares data, sends data, and controls the flow of data. It can also receive and translate data
into bytes for the CPU to understand. Contain unique MAC Address to control data
communication.

2. Repeater: Functioning at Physical Layer. A repeater is an electronic device that receives a

signal and retransmits it at a higher level and/or higher power, or on to the other side of an
obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. Repeater have two ports, so cannot
be use to connect for more than two devices.

3. Hub: An Ethernet hub, active hub, network hub, repeater hub, hub or concentrator is a
device for connecting multiple twisted pair or fiber optic Ethernet devices together and
making them act as a single network segment. Hubs work at the physical layer (layer 1) of the
OSI model. The device is a form of multi port repeater. Repeater hubs also participate in
collision detection, forwarding a jam signal to all ports if it detects a collision.

4. Switch: A network switch or switching hub is a computer networking device that connects
network segments. The term commonly refers to a network bridge that processes and routes
data at the Data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Switches that additionally process data
at the network layer (layer 3 and above) are often referred to as Layer 3 switches or
multilayer switches.

5. Bridge: A network bridge connects multiple network segments at the data link layer (Layer
2) of the OSI model. In Ethernet networks, the term bridge formally means a device that
behaves according to the IEEE802.1 standard. A bridge and switch are very much alike; a
switch being a bridge with numerous ports. Bridges can analyze incoming data packets to
determine if the bridge is able to send the given packet to another segment of the network.

6. Router: A router is an electronic device that interconnects two or more computer networks,
and selectively interchanges packets of data between them. Each data packet contains
address information that a router can use to determine if the source and destination are on
the same network, or if the data packet must be transferred from one network to another.
Where multiple routers are used in a large collection of interconnected networks, the routers
exchange information about target system addresses, so that each router can build up a table
showing the preferred paths between any two systems on the interconnected networks.

7. Gate Way: A gateway is a hardware device that acts as a "gate" between two networks. A
gate way may contain devices such as protocol translators, impedance matching devices, rate
converters, fault isolators, or signal translators as necessary to provide system
interoperability.

Session 2: Concept of Network IP Address (Part-1)

Page | 4
Objectives:
1. Study of Class full IP Addressing
2. To learn Classes, Blocks and Masking

Description
IP Addressing v4: The identifier used in network layer to identify each device connected to the
Internet is called the Internet address or IP address.

Rules for Class full addressing:

1. Format of IP address IPv4 is made up of four parts, in the pattern as w.x.y.z. Each part
has 8 binary bits and the values in decimal can range from 0 to 255.
2. IP addresses are divided into different classes. These classes determine the maximum
number of hosts per network ID. Only three classes are actually used for network
connectivity. The following table lists all of the address class.

Class Address Range Supports

Class A 1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254 Supports 16 million hosts on each of 127 networks.
Class B 128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254 Supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks.
Class C 192.0.1.1 to 223.255.254.254 Supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks.
Class D 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 Reserved for multicast groups.
Class E 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.254 Reserved.

3. Grouping of IP addresses into different classes.

a) Class A, B, C, D, E
b) Class A: first bit in w is 0 and others can be anything
i. 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
ii. First bits are used for network part and the remaining for host part.
c) Class B: First bit in w is 1 and second bit is 0.
i. 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
ii. First 16 bits for network part and remaining host part
d) Class C: first bit in w is 1, second bit in w is 1 and third bit is 0
Page | 5
 i. 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
ii. First 24 bits for network part and last 8 bits for host part.
e) Class D: first, second, third bits in w are 1 and fourth bit is 0; used for multicast.
i. 224.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
f) Class E: future use or experimental purposes.

4. Default Subnet mask it is used to identify the network part from the host part. Put binary one
for the parts that represent network part and zero for the part that represent host part.
a) Class A: 255.0.0.0
b) Class B: 255.255.0.0
c) Class C: 255.255.255.0
d) We can’t have mix of 1s and 0s in subnet mask. Only consecutive 1s is followed by
consecutive 0s.

Session 3: Concept of Network IP Address (Part-2)

Objectives
Page | 6
 1. Study of Classless IP Addressing
2. To learn the concept of Sub netting and Super netting

Description
Why Class less Addressing?
To overcome address depletion and give more organizations access to the Internet, classless
addressing was designed and implemented. In this scheme, there are no classes, but the addresses
are still granted in blocks.

Rules for Class less addressing

1. Format of Class less is made up of variable-length block with the slash notation
A.B.C.D/n. Slash notation n is also called CIDR (Class less Interdomain Routing)
notation/prefix length represented using ‘1’, as masking.
2. The addresses in a block must be contiguous, one after another.
3. The number of addresses in a block must be a power of 2 (1, 2, 4, 8, ... ).
4. The first address must be evenly divisible by the number of addresses.
Subnetting
A network is divided into several smaller networks. Each smaller network is called a
Subnetwork or a Subnet. The following topics will be discussed:
1. Why we Develop Subnetting?
2. How to calculate Subnet mask?
3. How to identify Subnet address?

Supernetting
In Supernetting, an organisation can combine several class C blocks to create a large range of
addresses. The following topics will be discussed:
1. Why we Develop Supernetting?
2. How to calculate Supernet mask?
3. How to identify Supernet address?

Configure IP Address on Fast Ethernet 0/1:..

Router(config)# hostname CISCO
CISCO(config)# int fastEthernet 0/1
CISCO(config-if)# ip address 10.0.0.10 255.0.0.0
CISCO(config-if)# no shutdown

Problem 2: Configure Serial Connectivity between two routers

R1(config)# interface serial 0

R1(config-if)# ip address 15.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
R1(config-if)# no shutdown
R1(config-if)# clock rate 64000 (Clock Rate will set only DCE Interface)
R1(config-if)# end

ping: ping dest_ip_address

ping sends an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packet to the specified host. If the host responds, you
get an ICMP packet back.
Traceroute: tracert dest_ip_address
Tracert is a command which can show you the path a packet of information takes from your
computer to one you specify. It will list all the routers it passes through until it reaches its
destination, or fails to and is discarded.

 Session 7: Implementation of Static Routing using PT

Objectives
1. To learn how to configure a topology with Static Routing Protocol
2. Test and verify the configuration

Description

Static Routing:
A router can learn about remote networks in one of two ways:
1. Manually, from configured static routes
2. Automatically, from a dynamic routing protocol

Static routes are commonly used when routing from a network to a stub network. A stub
network is a network accessed by a single route.

The ip route command:

The command for configuring a static route is ip route. The complete syntax for configuring a
static route is:
Router(config)#ip route network-address subnet-mask {ip-address | exit-interface }

The following parameters are used:

 network-address - Destination network address of the remote network to be added to the
routing table
 subnet-mask - Subnet mask of the remote network to be added to the routing table. The
subnet mask can be modified to summarize a group of networks.

One or both of the following parameters must also be used:

 ip-address - Commonly referred to as the next-hop router's IP address
 Exit-interface - Outgoing interface that would be used in forwarding packets to the
destination network.

Procedure
To implement this practical following network topology is required to be configured using the
commands learned in previous practical. After configuring the given network a packet should
be ping from any one machine to another.

 Session 8: Implementation of RIP using Packet Tracer

Objectives
1. To learn how to configure a topology with RIP
2. Test and verify the configuration

Description
The Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is a distance-vector routing protocol, which
employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit
on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum
number of hops allowed for RIP is 15. Originally each RIP router transmitted full updates every
30 seconds.

RIP versions:
 RIP version 1
The original specification of RIP uses Classful routing. The periodic routing updates do
not carry subnet information, lacking support for variable length subnet masks (VLSM).
In other words, all subnets in a network class must have the same size.

 RIP version 2
Due to the deficiencies of the original RIP specification, RIP version 2 (RIPv2) was
developed. It included the ability to carry subnet information, thus supporting Classless
Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).

Enabling RIP on a Cisco router:

RIP can be enabled on a Cisco router by entering router configuration mode from configuration
mode. You must be in exec mode to perform the following commands:

Page | 17
After configuring rip, we can discover routing table by show ip route command:

Commands used to monitor RIP

 Show ip protocol

Exercises

1. Consider the topology of Lab no 7, configure RIP on all the Router.

2. Test the connectivity by using ping command from any one PC to other.
3. Verify the configuration by using the above mentioned command.

Page | 18
 Session 9: Implementation of OSPF using Packet Tracer

Objectives
1. To learn how to configure a topology with OSPF
2. Test and verify the configuration

Description

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF):

OSPF is a link-state routing protocol that was developed as a replacement for the distance
vector routing protocol RIP. RIP was an acceptable routing protocol in the early days of
networking and the Internet, but its reliance on hop count as the only measure for choosing the
best route quickly became unacceptable in larger networks that needed a more robust routing
solution. OSPF is a classless routing protocol that uses the concept of areas for scalability.

The router OSPF command:

OSPF is enabled with the following global configuration command.
router ospf process-id
The process-id is a number between 1 and 65535 and is chosen by the network administrator.

The network command:

The OSPF network command uses a combination of network-address and wildcard-mask. The
network command is used in router configuration mode.
Router(config-router)#network network-address wildcard-mask area area-id
The network address along with the wildcard mask is used to specify the interface or range of
interfaces that will be enabled for OSPF using this network command.

The wildcard mask can be configured as the inverse of a subnet mask. Key points:
 0 (Decimal – octet format) Wildcard mask indicates that corresponding octet in network
address must be matched exactly.
 255 (Decimal – octet format) Wildcard mask indicates that we don’t care about
corresponding octet in network address.

Page | 19
For example

The area area-id refers to the OSPF area. An OSPF area is a group of routers that share link-
state information.

Verifying OSPF configuration

Some powerful OSPF troubleshooting commands include:

#show ip ospf neighbor
#show ip protocols
#show ip ospf
#show ip ospf interface

Exercises

1. Consider the topology of Lab no 7, configure OSPF on all the Router.

2. Test the connectivity by using ping command from any one PC to other.
3. Verify the configuration by using the above mentioned command.

 Session 10: Implementation of EIGRP using Packet Tracer

Objectives
1. To learn how to configure a topology with EIGRP
2. Test and verify the configuration

Description

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol:

EIGRP is considered an advanced distance-vector routing algorithm, since it uses both the
characteristics of distance-vector and link-state, it is really considered a hybrid routing protocol
with optimizations to minimize both the routing instability incurred after topology changes, as
well as the use of bandwidth and processing power in the router.

Procedure
To implement this practical following network topology is required to be configured using the
EIGRP commands. After configuring the given network a packet should be ping from any one
machine to another.

Topology

Page | 21
Configure EIGRP on the R1 Router:

Step 1: Enable EIGRP

Use the router eigrp autonomous-system command in global configuration mode to enable
EIGRP on the R1 router. Enter 1 for the autonomous-system parameter.
R1(config)#router eigrp 1

Step 2: Configure classful network 172.16.0.0.

Once you are in the Router EIGRP configuration sub-mode, configure the classful network
172.16.0.0 to be included in the EIGRP updates that are sent out of R1.
R1(config-router)#network 172.16.0.0

The router will begin to send EIGRP update messages out each interface belonging to the
172.16.0.0 network. EIGRP updates will be sent out of the FastEthernet0/0 and Serial0/0/0
interfaces because they are both on subnets of the 172.16.0.0 network.

Step 3: Configure the router to advertise the 192.168.10.4/30 network attached to the
Serial0/0/1 interface.
Use the wildcard-mask option with the network command to advertise only the subnet and not
the entire 192.168.10.0 classful network.
R1(config-router)# network 192.168.10.4 0.0.0.3

When you are finished with the EIGRP configuration for R1, return to privileged EXEC mode
and save the current configuration to NVRAM.

Exercises:
1. Configure EIGRP on the R2 and R3 Routers.
2. Verify EIGRP operation with the show ip eigrp neighbors and show ip protocols
commands.
3. Examine EIGRP Routes in the Routing Tables using show ip route command.

 Session 11: Implementation of VLAN using Packet Tracer

Objectives
1. To perform basic configuration tasks on a switch
2. Create VLAN and assign switch ports to a VLAN
3. Test and verify the configuration

Description

Virtual LAN:
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network users and resources
connected to administratively defined ports on a switch. By creating VLANs, you are able to
create smaller broadcast domains within a switch by assigning different ports in the switch to
different subnetworks.

Procedure
To implement this practical following network topology is required to be configured using the
VLAN commands. After configuring the given network a packet should be ping from any one
machine to another.

Topology

Page | 23
Task 1: Prepare the Network
Step 1: Cable a network that is similar to the one in the topology diagram.
You can use any current switch in your lab as long as it has the required interfaces shown in the
topology.

Step 2: Clear any existing configurations on the switches, and initialize all ports in the
shutdown state.
Switch#config term
Switch(config)#interface range fa0/1-24
Switch(config-if-range)#shutdown
Switch(config-if-range)#interface range gi0/1-2
Switch(config-if-range)#shutdown

Task 2: Perform Basic Switch Configurations

Step 1: Configure the switches according to the following guidelines.
· Configure the switch hostname.
· Disable DNS lookup.
· Configure an EXEC mode password of class.
· Configure a password of cisco for console connections.
· Configure a password of cisco for vty connections.

Step 2: Re-enable the user ports on S2 and S3.

Page | 24
 S2(config)#interface range fa0/6, fa0/11, fa0/18
S2(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
S2(config-if-range)#no shutdown
S3(config)#interface range fa0/6, fa0/11, fa0/18
S3(config-if-range)#switchport mode access
S3(config-if-range)#no shutdown

Task 3: Configure and Activate Ethernet Interfaces

Step 1: Configure the PCs.

You can complete this lab using only two PCs by simply changing the IP addressing for the two
PCs specific to a test you want to conduct.

Task 4: Configure VLANs on the Switch

Step 1: Create VLANs on switch S1.
Use the vlan vlan-id command in global configuration mode to add a VLAN to switch S1.
