Cisco Packet Tracer Networking Guide

This lab manual discusses communication between end devices in a Cisco Packet Tracer network simulation. It explains that Cisco Packet Tracer allows students to create and configure networks without physical hardware, using virtual routers, switches, computers and other devices. The document provides instructions on setting up a simple network with two computers, including IP addressing and connectivity testing using real-time mode, ping commands, and switching to the simulation view.

Lab manual # 03

Objective:
Communication between end devices

Theory:
Cisco Packet Tracer allows us to logically create a network topology without even
implementing it physically. Real Cisco devices (Routers and Switches) are very expensive
and hence do not come in the affordability of students hence with the help of Cisco Packet
Tracer, students can create, configure and troubleshoot a network with almost unlimited
devices.

End Devices:

Some devices like Host Computers, Laptops, Servers, and Printers are also available. We can
use them in our network as per our need.

Connection Media:

Media can be wired or wireless. In Cisco Packet Tracer, we have a lot of cables under the
name “Connections”. We have Copper Media, Coaxial media, Fiber media, Phone Media and
some more. We can use them to connect devices.

Procedure:

Implementing a network consisting of two computers respectively

 Choose two same PC’s


 Click once on PC0 and PC1 respectively
 Choose the configuration tab
 Do TCP/IP configuration
 Connect the nodes through interconnecting device

Host IP address Subnet mask

PC0 [Link] [Link]

PC1 [Link] [Link]

Ways to check connectivity of devices

1. Real Time Mode


2. Ping Mode
3. Simulation Mode

1. Real Time Mode

In real-time mode the network behaves as real devices do, with immediate real-time
response for all network activities. The real-time mode gives students a viable
alternative to real equipment and allows them to gain configuration practice before
working with real equipment.

 Select source PC and place the letter icon on it.


 Then select the destination PC.
 In the bottom right side, beneath real time, progress will be visible as shown.

2. [Link] command:

The ping command sends a sequence of ICMP echo request packets to the specified host.
Ping prints a special character for each packet indicating whether the router received the
corresponding echo reply.

 Click on PC.
 Select desktop, and click on command prompt.
 Write ping(IP address on PC)
 For checking connectivity with other computer, rewrite ping( IP address of other PC)

3. Simulation node:

In simulation mode the user can see and control time intervals, the inner workings of data
transfer, and the propagation of data across a network.

 Select simulation on bottom left side on the window


 Press play
