Practical Lesson: Lab - Setting Up a Small Network

Objectives

1. Set up a small network using Cisco Packet Tracer.

2. Configure IP addresses for devices.

3. Create and configure subnets.

4. Establish basic connectivity and test the network.

Materials Needed

 Cisco Packet Tracer software

 Computer with Cisco Packet Tracer installed

Instructions

Step 1: Network Design (5 minutes)

1. Objective: Familiarize students with the network topology and


requirements.

2. Topology:

o 1 Router

o 1 Switch

o 3 End Devices (PCs)


Step 2: Create Network Topology (10 minutes)

1. Open Cisco Packet Tracer.

2. Add Devices:

o Drag and drop 1 router (e.g., Router0) from the router section.

o Drag and drop 1 switch (e.g., Switch0) from the switch section.

o Drag and drop 3 PCs (e.g., PC1, PC2, PC3) from the end devices
section.

3. Connect Devices:

o Use copper straight-through cables to connect the router’s


Ethernet interface to the switch.

o Use copper straight-through cables to connect each PC to the


switch.
Step 3: Configure Router (5 minutes)

1. Access Router CLI:

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

2. Basic Configuration:

Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0
Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# exit
Router# write memory
o This configuration sets up the router with the IP address
192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

Step 4: Configure PCs (7 minutes)

1. Assign IP Addresses:
o Click on each PC and go to the Desktop tab, then IP
Configuration.
o Configure the IP settings as follows:
 PC1:
 IP Address: 192.168.1.2
 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
 PC2:
 IP Address: 192.168.1.3
 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
 PC3:
 IP Address: 192.168.1.4
 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Step 5: Verify Connectivity (3 minutes)

1. Ping Test:

o Open the command prompt on each PC (Desktop > Command


Prompt).

o Execute the ping command to verify connectivity between


devices:

ping 192.168.1.2 (from PC1 to PC2)

ping 192.168.1.3 (from PC1 to PC3)

ping 192.168.1.4 (from PC2 to PC1)

o Ensure that all pings are successful, indicating proper network


connectivity.

Step 6: Review and Cleanup (5 minutes)

1. Review Configuration:

o Check each device's configuration and verify that the IP


addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways are set correctly.

2. Save and Document:

o Save the Packet Tracer file for future reference and


documentation.
