Experiment:

To study the implication of Subnet mask in network using Cisco Packet Tracer
(CPT)
1. Design the following network-1 using CPT and configure the IP and subnet mask of each node
(PCi,i=0..5 ). Send a simple PDU from source PC0 to the destination PC4 and observe how the
PDU is moving from source to destination in both the modes of the simulator (i.e. realtime as
well as simulation mode).
