Outcome**: CO1: Understand various components that make up a computer
network, including routers, switches, hubs, servers, and clients and
learn about the basic commands used troubleshooting.
CO2: Design UTP cable for cross and direct connection using
crimping tool.
CO3: Implement the common network protocols such as TCP/IP,
UDP, HTTP, DNS, DHC, FTP and NAT Understand how these
protocols function and their role in facilitating communication
between devices using network simulation tool like Packet tracer.
CO4: Apply the static and dynamic routing concepts in the network
core and monitoring network traffic using Wireshark and d evelop
skills in troubleshooting network connectivity issues.
CO5: Design network applications using UDP and TCP socket
programing concepts and network design principles and test these
applications using real or virtual network devices.
** Describe the specific knowledge, skills or competencies the students are expected
to acquire or demonstrate.

10. Details of the Course:

Sl. List of problems for which student should develop program and Contact
No. execute in the Laboratory Hours
Problem Statement 1:
2
1. Familiarization of Network Environment, Understanding and using
network utilities: ipconfig, netstat, ping, telnet, ftp, traceroute etc.
2. Problem Statement 2: 2
 Familiarization with Transmission media and tools: Co-axial cable,
UTP cable, Crimping tool, Connectors etc.
Preparing the UTP cable for cross and direct connection using
crimping tool.
Problem Statement 3:
3. 2
Installation and introduction of simulation tool. (Packet Tracer)
Problem Statement 4:
To configure a basic network topology consisting of routers, switches,
4. 2
and end devices such as PCs or laptops. Configure IP addresses and
establish connectivity between devices. (Using packet Tracer)
Problem Statement 5:
To configure a DHCP server on a router or a dedicated DHCP server
5. 2
device. Assign IP addresses dynamically to devices on the network
and verify successful address assignment. (Using packet Tracer)
Problem Statement 6:
6. To configure a local DNS server to resolve domain names within a 2
network. (Using packet Tracer)
Problem Statement 7:
NAT (Network Address Translation): Set up NAT on a router to
7. translate private IP addresses to public IP addresses for outbound 2
internet connectivity. Test the translation and examine how NAT
helps conserve IPv4 address space. (Using packet Tracer)
Problem Statement 8:
Network Troubleshooting: Simulate network issues such as
8. connectivity problems, incorrect configurations, or routing failures. 2
Use Packet Tracer's simulation mode to diagnose and troubleshoot
the network.
Problem Statement 9:
9. 2
To monitor network traffic using Wire Shark
Problem Statement 10:
10. To analyze complete TCP/IP protocol suite layer’s headers using 2
Wire Shark
Problem Statement 11:
TCP Client-Server Communication:
Implement a TCP client program that sends a message to a TCP server
program.
11. Implement the corresponding TCP server program that receives the 2
message and displays it.
Test communication between the client and server by exchanging
messages
(Using ‘C’ Language)
 Problem Statement 12:
UDP Client-Server Communication:
Implement a UDP client program that sends a message to a UDP
12. server program. 2
Implement the corresponding UDP server program that receives the
message and displays it
(Using ‘C’ Language)
Optional programs for advanced learner
Problem Statement 1:
File Transfer using TCP:
Implement a TCP server program that listens for incoming
1. connections.
Implement a TCP client program that sends a file to the server.
The server should receive the file and save it on the local machine.
Verify the successful transfer by comparing the original file with the
received file
Problem Statement 2:
Chat Application using TCP:
Implement a TCP client program for a chat application.
Implement the corresponding TCP server program.
2.
Multiple clients should be able to connect to the server and exchange
messages.
Test the chat application by simulating multiple clients
communicating with each other.
Problem Statement 3:
DNS Lookup using UDP:
Implement a UDP client program that sends a domain name to a DNS
server.
3. Implement the corresponding DNS server program that resolves the
domain name to an IP address.
The server should send the resolved IP address back to the client.
Test the program by performing DNS lookups for different domain
names
Problem Statement 4:
HTTP Server using TCP:
Implement a TCP server program that acts as an HTTP server.
4. The server should be able to handle HTTP requests and send back
appropriate HTTP responses.
Test the server by accessing it through a web browser and requesting
different resources.
