Computer Networks Tutorial 1

Software Package: Cisco Packet Tracer

Version: 6.0.1.0011

Packet Tracer is a medium fidelity, network-capable, simulation-based learning environment

for networking novices to design, configure, and troubleshoot computer networks at a CCNA-
level of complexity. Packet Tracer is an integrated simulation, visualization, collaboration,
and assessment environment. Packet Tracer supports student and instructor creation of
simulations, visualizations, and animations of networking phenomena. Like any simulation,
Packet Tracer relies on a simplified model of networking devices and protocols. Real
computer networks, experienced both in-person/hands-on and remotely, remain the
benchmark for understanding network behavior and developing networking skills. Packet
Tracer was created to help address the Digital Divide in networking education, where many
students and teachers lack access to equipment, bandwidth, and interactive modes of learning
networking. We invite you to use the help files and tutorials to learn about the major features
of the program, which include the items in the following table.

Experiment 1: connecting a PC client and a Server. Testing connectivity with Ping and
running HTTP and FTP servers

1- Open the Cisco Packet Tracer

2- Create a LAN by Dragging ; PC (End Devices), switch (2960), Server (End
devices).
3- Connect the devices with Copper Straight cable

4- Click on Server and Type IP: 192.168.1.254

5- Click on PC and Type IP: 192.168.1.100
6- Server Config Fast Ethernet

Experiment 2: A tutorial on adding a wireless router to the network and adding a DNS
server which resolves a domain name through an A record.

1- Add wireless router to Experiment 1 (wireless devices)

2- Click on Router and Type IP: 192.168.1.1
3- Add cloud (Internet)
4- Connect the devices with Copper Straight cable
5- From router to cloud use automatically choose your cable.
6- Router zoom in

4 Ethernet port
