REQUIRED RESOURCES
PC with enough CPU power and RAM
Cisco Packet Tracer software
INTRODUCTION
Packet Tracer or PT is a network simulation software used primarily for Cisco certification
related Labs.
PT provides very close simulation of cisco devices (but does not emulate 100% of the functions).
PT also simulates end-devices (e.g. PC, server, laptops with Wi-Fi interfaces, telephony, and
Internet of Things).
For creating topologies, you merely need to drag and drop icons for required device (e.g.
routers, switches, desktops, servers, smartphones, etc.) from the library. Then connect the
devices using the required interfaces/link types (e.g. Fast Ethernet, Giga-bit Ethernet, straight-
through cable, cross-over cable, console cable, etc.)
For Assignment 3, you will create a simple SOHO (Small Office Home Office) network using a
number of Ethernet switches, one router, and end devices.
PART I: CREATE TOPOLOGY
(Prerequisite: Studied Cisco website’s ‘Introduction to PT, Ch 1 & 2)
1. Start Packet Tracer /PT using your credentials. A new default topology will be presented.
Save the file as ‘LastName.FirstName.Assg3.pkt’. (Make sure to use your name in the file
name. 10% deduction for wrong file name).
2. Create in PT topology the nodes outlined in Table 1 on page 2.
3. Follow Fig. 1 on page 3 to connect the nodes.
4. Rename nodes using your Sheridan student number and your initials:
a. when you see YY, it is the last two digits of your Sheridan student number.
b. add your own initials (e.g. AM for Abdul Mustafa) in front of R1, SW10, SW11 etc

Node Count Description
type
Router 1 This router will serve as the gateway for LAN1 and LAN2, interconnecting both
(2811) the LANs.
Interface Fa0/0 will serve LAN1. IP address of this interface will be 10.YY.1.1 /24
(Note: /24 is the CIDR notation for subnet mask. Check your lecture notes or
see page 4 of this assignment for the dotted decimals values for entry).
Interface Fa0/1 will serve LAN2. IP address of this interface will be 10.YY.2.1 /24.
Also, the router will take traffic to the outside world, when connection to an ISP.
Here YY is last two digits of your student number.
Add your initials (first letter of your first name and first letter of your last name)
before R1. In Figure 1 below the initials “AM” in front of R1.
Please continue following the assignment instruction to configure the router to
act the way you want.
Switch 6 Three (3) switches per LAN.
(2960- Sw10 and Sw20 are for aggregating traffic from the lower switches.
24TT)
Other switches provide connectivity to the end nodes (PCs)
Add your initials (first letter of your first name and first letter of your last name)
before SW10, SW11 etc. In Figure 1 shows the initials “AM” in front of Sw10,
Sw11 etc
PC 8 Four (4) PCs per LAN.
(Generic, PCs in LAN1 (PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4) will have IP address from the subnet
PC-PT) 10.YY.1.0 /24 subnet
(Note: /24 is the CIDR notation for subnet mask. Check your lecture notes or
see page 4 of this assignment for the dotted decimals values for entry).
Similarly, PCs in LAN2 (PC5, PC6, PC7 and PC8) will have IP address from the
subnet 10.YY.2.0 /24 subnet.
Here YY is last two digits of your student number.
For the PCs to be able to send and receive packets, you need set IP, subnet
mask, gateway router and DNS server IP address in the PCs.
Server 2 Serv1 (IP: 10.YY.2.100) will be used to as DNS server.
(Generic, Serv2 (IP: 10.YY.2.200) will be used as Web server.

PT) Please continue following the assignment instruction to configure these devices
to act as proper server.
Here YY is last two digits of your student number.

PART II: IP CONFIGURATION
1. Follow Table 2 to configure IP settings in the PCs, servers and the router. Click on a node
to get the configuration dialog box.
2. Use the pattern of Fig.2a to configure all the PCs.
3. Use the pattern of Fig.2.c and Fig.2d to configure the servers.
4. Use the pattern of Fig.2.e and Fig.2.f to configure IP addresses of the router’s interfaces.

Table 2: IP Configuraiton of LAN1 PCs
Node Configuration Description
PC1 (PC2, PC3, IP Address: 10.YY.1.10 (.11, 20, 21) All the nodes connected to LAN1 will have 1
PC4) Subnet Mask: /24 or 255.255.255.0 in the third octet of their IP addresses.
Default Gateway: 10.YY.1.1 In this activity, we are using static IP
configuration, i.e. there is DHCP server in the
DNS Server: 10.YY.2.100 network for automatic IP configuration, we
manually setting IP address parameters in
the nodes.
Important: Replace YY with the last two
digits of your student number. In the
example congifurations of this handout, I am
using 99. Do not use 99 unless 99 is the last
two digits of your student number.
PC5 (PC6, PC7, IP Address: 10.YY.2.30 (.31, 40, 41) All the nodes connected to LAN2 will have 2
PC8) Subnet Mask: /24 or 255.255.255.0 in the third octet of their IP addresses.
Default Gateway: 10.YY.2.1
DNS Server: 10.YY.2.100
Serv1 (DNS IP Address: 10.YY.2.100
server) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 10.YY.2.1
DNS Server: 10.YY.2.100
Serv2 (Web IP Address: 10.YY.2.200

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Note that you don’t need to set the default
gateway for a router.

PART III: TESTING CONNECTIVITY WITHIN LANS
Now that all the IP addresses are configured, all the nodes within a LAN should be able to reach (IP-wise)
other nodes in the corresponding LAN. Also, because of the presence of the Router between the two
LANs, nodes in one LAN should be able to reach the nodes in other LAN.
1. Perform Ping test for connectivity within LAN1 : Go to the command prompt of PC1. Ping all other
nodes (PC2, PC3, PC4, and F0/0 interface of R1) in LAN1. Take a clear screenshot and present as
Output#2. A sample is given Fig.3.
2. Perform Ping test for connectivity within LAN2 : Go to the command prompt of PC5. Ping all other
nodes (PC6, PC7, PC8, Serv1, Serv2, and F0/1 interface of R1) in LAN2. Take a clear screenshot and
present as Output#3. If required, take multiple screenshots, and present sequentially.
3. Perform Ping test for connectivity between LAN1 and LAN2: Go to the command prompt of PC2.
Ping all nodes of LAN2 (PC6, PC7, PC8, Serv1, Serv2, and F0/1 interface of R1) in LAN2. Take a clear
screenshot and present as Output#4. If required, take multiple screenshots, and present
sequentially.

PART IV: CONFIGURE AND TEST THE SERVERS
With all node properly reaching each other, it’s time to extend the functionality of the network. Let’s
setup a DNS server and web server. We already the required nodes placed in the topology. Now we will
configure the nodes to act as appropriate servers.
CONFIGURE DNS SERVER
1. In Serv1, go to Services tab, select DNS from the left menu.
2. Turn on the DNS service.
3. Add an ‘A Record’ (IPv4 domain name record) to point to your web server’s (Serv2) IP address.
Your domain name should be of the pattern: FLweb.net, where FL is your initials. See Fig. 4 for the
pattern.
Use your initial for
Turn on the server
your webpage, using
this pattern.
Added DNS record.

TELE10025 – Assignment 3 12 | P a g e
CONFIGURE HTTP (WEB) SERVER
1. In Serv2, go to Services tab, select HTTP from the left menu.
2. You will see that both HTTP and HTTPS (secure version of HTTP) services are already on.
3. Edit the index.html file (this file contains the default page for this site) to personalize you network.
See Fig.5 for the pattern.
Edit index.html page.

TEST THE SERVERS
1. Open the Web Browser from PC4. Type the URL of your web server (e.g. www.jwweb.net).
2. Since DNS server is running, PC4 will be able to resolve the URL (www.jwweb.net) to its
corresponding IP address (in my case 10.99.2.200).
3. Since Web server in running in 10.99.2.200, you should be able to see the default page. A sample
output is given in Fig. 6.
4. Take a clear screenshot and present as Output#5.

is personalized.

G. FINAL TASKS
1. Annotate the topology as shown in Fig. 1. Take a clear screenshot. Place it as Output#1. Make
sure all elements of Fig.1 is present in the diagram.
2. Save all your work, including the Packet Tracer file.
