What is computer network:


Computer network (resource sharing)
two or more computers that are connected with one
another for the purpose of communicating data
electronically

wh at is network types:
1-personal area network (PAN):
PANs can be used for communication among the personal
devices themselves by (USB ,Bluetooth)
2- local-area networks (LANs):
LANs connect computers and peripheral devices in a
limited physical area, such as a business office, laboratory,
or college campus, by means of links (wires, Ethernet cables
,Wi-Fi)
3-Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
MAN or Metropolitan area Network covers a larger area
than that of a LAN and smaller area as compared to WAN
4- wide-area networks (WANs):
connect computers and smaller networks to larger
networks over greater geographic areas

what is packet tracer
packet Tracer is a tool that allows you to simulate real networks. It
provides three main menus that allow you to:

 add devices and connect them via cables or wireless

 select, delete, inspect, label, and group components within your


network

 manage your network

how to Install packet tracer


Install packet tracer for windows
After downloading the Packet Tracer, open the folder that
contains the downloaded file and click the setup file

The next screen allows us to customize the installation directory. If you want to
install the Packet Tracer in another folder, click the Browse button and select
the folder in which you want to install the Packet Tracer.

The next screen allows us to create two more shortcut links to launch the Packet Tracer.

Create a desktop icon: - This option creates a shortcut link on the Desktop.

Create a quick launch icon: - This option creates a shortcut link in the Quick-Launch bar.

Make your choice and click on the Next button.

Packet Tracer has two different views
◦ Logical Workspace
The default view for Packet Tracer is Logical, which is
equivalent to creating a logical diagram for the
network
◦ Physical Workspace
Physical workspace shows the graphical physical dimension
of the logical network. It depicts the scale and placement in
how network devices such as routers, switches and hosts
would look in a real environment. It also provides
geographical representation of networks, including multiple
buildings, cities and wiring closets.

Sample Network Simulation

To add a PC onto the workspace:


Select End Devices
Drag [Generic] onto workspace

Under End Devices, these are the following devices


available:

Eman Magdy Selim


-Double-click [PC1]
-Change name to “ITE CW”
-Drag second PC
-Double-click [PC2]
-Change name to “ITE CC”
-Under Connections, select the Copper cross over cable,
and make a connection between the devices with it

Eman Magdy Selim


-The red lights on the link indicate that the connection is
not working

- Click PC1, choose [Fast Ethernet0]

-Move to PC2, click, choose [FastEthernet0]

- to add configuration to pc
Click on PC_A, go to Desktop, then click IP Configuration.

Example 2
Create a network between 3 PCs by using hub

Eman Magdy Selim


1- the first Clime (pc1) has IP address 10.10.10.1
2-the second Clime (pc2) has IP address 10.10.10.2
3-the third Clime(pc3) has IP address 10.10.10.3

Examine how to send a message from PC1 to PC2

-click on simulation
-The pc1 send to Hub the message
Eman Magdy Selim
-the Hub send the message for the other two PCs
-PC3 reject the message
-PC2 accept the message
-Hub send a message for PC1 that PC2 accept the message

Example3
Eman Magdy Selim
Create a network between 3 PCs by using Switch

1- the first Clime (pc1) has IP address 10.10.10.1


2-the second Clime (pc2) has IP address 10.10.10.2
3-the third Clime(PC3) has IP address 10.10.10.3

Eman Magdy Selim


Examine how to send a message from PC1 to PC2
-click on simulation

-The pc1 send to Switch the message


-the Switch send the message for PC2
-PC2 accept the message
-Switch send a message for PC1 that PC2 accept the message
