Experiment 5

This document outlines the steps to build a network topology using Cisco Packet Tracer with a Link-State routing protocol, specifically OSPF. It includes instructions for adding devices, connecting them, assigning IP addresses, configuring OSPF, and testing network connectivity. Key commands and configurations are provided to ensure proper setup and verification of the network.

EXPERIMENT-5

AIM: Use Packet tracer software to build network topology and


configure using Link State routing protocol
Packet tracer software :
Building a network topology in Cisco Packet Tracer using a Link-State
Routing Protocol (such as OSPF) involves the following steps. Below, I’ll guide you through
the key steps to create and configure the topology

Steps to Build the Network Topology

1. Open Packet Tracer

o Launch Cisco Packet Tracer.

2. Add Network Devices

o Drag and drop routers, switches, and PCs onto the workspace. For example:

▪ Use Router-1841 or any appropriate model.


▪ Use 2960 Switches for Layer 2 switching.

▪ Add PCs as endpoints for testing connectivity.

3. Connect Devices

o Use appropriate cables to connect devices:


▪ Straight-through cable between switches and PCs.

▪ Crossover cable between switches or routers (if required).

▪ Serial cables for WAN connections between routers.

4. Assign IP Addresses

o Create a network plan for assigning IP addresses. Example:

▪ Router1: 192.168.1.1/24 (LAN interface)

▪ Router2: 192.168.2.1/24 (LAN interface)

▪ Assign unique IP addresses for PCs and inter-router links.

5. Enable Interfaces
o Ensure all interfaces are enabled using the no shutdown command.

Configuring Link-State Protocol (OSPF)

1. Access Router CLI

o Click on each router and go to the CLI tab.

2. Enter Global Configuration Mode

bash

enable
configure terminal

3. Configure OSPF

o Assign a process ID (e.g., 1) and configure networks:

bash

router ospf 1

network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0


o Adjust the network statements for each router's interfaces.

4. Set Router IDs


o OSPF requires unique router IDs:

bash

router-id 1.1.1.1

5. Verify Configuration

o Use commands like:

bash

show ip ospf neighbor

show ip route

show ip ospf interface


6. Configure PCs

o Assign IP addresses to PCs in the same subnet as their respective routers and
set the router’s IP as the default gateway.

Testing the Network

1. Ping Test

o Use the Command Prompt on PCs to test connectivity with other PCs across
the network.

bash

ping 192.168.x.x

2. Verify OSPF Adjacencies

o Use show ip ospf neighbor on routers to check OSPF neighbor relationships.

3. Check Routing Table


o Use show ip route to confirm OSPF routes are learned and propagated
correctly.
