Packet Tracer
Part 1: Understanding and Using Packet Tracer
1. Setup the PacketTracer 5.3.3 2. Use it to draw and simulate the following networks. 3. There are 3 sub-parts a, b and c. For each part, if all PCs can ping each other, then your configuration is correct. Note that the network mask is 255.255.255.0.
1a
PC1 can ping PC2 and vice-versa. Give any IP addresses.
What cable is used to connect PC1 and PC2? _____________________________________________
Explain why such a cable is used? ______________________________________________________
Explain why you choose these IP addresses for the nodes. __________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1b
PC1 can ping PC2 and vice-versa. Give any IP address
Are the cables used in 1b the same as the one used in 1a? __________________________________
Explain your answer. ________________________________________________________________
Must the assigned IP addresses of the two nodes be in the same subnet for them to communicate? ___________________________
Explain your answer. ________________________________________________________________
1c
PC1, PC2, PC11 and PC22 can ping each other.
Use network mask = 255.255.255.0
You must configure the fa0/0 to IP address : _______________________
You must configure the fa0/1 to IP address : _______________________
There are two ways to configure the router. i. Window-based ii. Command Line Interface (CLI) based
i. Window based Steps To configure the IP Address & routing on the router: a) Double-click the router. A pop-up window will come up b) Select the middle sub-menu (config) c) To configure IP address, select the interfaces d) To configure routing, select routing
ii. Command Line based Steps
To configure the IP Address on the router:
