Configuring Cisco Packet Tracer Network

The assignment content is about creating a simple network design using Cisco Packet Tracer. The network design consists of two routers (Router 0 and Router 1), three personal computers, and one server. Each device was configured, including the router configuration, PC configuration, DHCP configuration, DNS configuration, web server configuration, and firewall configuration. The client pinged to its own network interface, router gateway interface, and server, and used the trace route command to identify network problems. The network design provides a secure and scalable network.

Introduction
Main objective of this project is to create the simple network. The network contains
the maximum three PC’s and 3 routers. The Network design done by using the cisco packet
tracer. Each device will be configured. The Router, PC and Sever configuration will be done.
The Configuration provides the scalability of the network. The Client PC pinging the server,
router gateway interface and server PC. The client PC configured with trace route command
to identify the network problems. The router is routed by using the IP route. It will be
interconnecting to the two routers. The network devices and services are provided the secure
network and high efficiency network. The network services are DHCP, DNS, Web server and
Firewall will be discussing.

For server,
Double the Server and click the Desktop to select the IP configuration (Network basics,
2014).
In server 0,
Enter the,
IP address is 10.0.0.23
Subnet Mask is 255.0.0.0

Swtich configration
The switch configurtion is shown below.

Router Configuration
For Router 0,
First click the Router 0 and select the CLI (Command Line Interface).
To configure the router by typing the below command in the command line interface.
First enable the router (NETworking, 2013).
Configure the terminal.
Enter the interface as fa1/0
After enter the IP address as 10.0.0.1
Subnet mask is 255.0.0.0
Router configuration is shown below (Packet tracer, 2012).
14

For Router 1,
It is shown below.
15

16

For Router 2,
It is shown below.
17

2. IP Route
Here IP routing on the router.
To route a router by using the below command in command line interface
For Router 0,
Enter IP route is,
ip route 20.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.0
18

For Router 1,
Enter IP route is,
ip route 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.0.0.0
ip route 30.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 20.0.0.0
19

For Router 0,
Enter IP route is,
ip route 20.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 30.0.0.0

3. Ping
The Client ping the Own network interface, router gateway interface and server.
These are shown below.
22

23

4. Trace route command
Trace route command using the tracert utility. It is used to determine the route to a
destination by transmitting the internet control message protocol packets to the destination. It
uses varying the IP time to live values. The trace route command is used to identify the
network traffic and their problems (Connecting networks companion guide, 2014).
24

The traceroute configuration is shown below.

5. Network diagram
The simple network diagram is shown below.
27

The above network diagram is created by using the cisco packet tracer. It using the
cisco network device and it used to reduce the business and operational costs. The network
design contains the two routers, three personal computers and one server. The Client PC and
server is connected with the router1. The two server PC’s are connected with router 1. These
are communicated each other. The Network devices are configured. The Simple network
design provide the secure network and scalability of the network.
The Cisco Packet Tracer file is attached here.
Part – 2
1. DHCP configuration
For Router 1,
To configure the DHCP by using the below command.
28

29

Once configuration is finished. To check the DHCP connection by following the below steps.
Double click the PC.
Click the desktop and select the IP configuration.
After choose DHCP.
The DHCP connection automatically create the IP address, default gateway and subnet mask.
DHCP configuration is shown below.

2. Web server
To configure the web server by click the server. Select the Desktop to click the Web browser.
After enter the IP address as 20.0.0.23.
31

3. DNS server
To configure the DNS server by click the server and select the services. After click the DNS
server.
Then click the DNS service on button (Scaling networks companion guide, n.d.).
Enter the Name is csu.edu.au
IP address is 10.0.0.22
Finally click the Save button.
DNS server configuration is shown below.
32

4. Firewall
Firewall configuration is used to provide the secure network connection. It blocks the TCP
traffic between the client and web server. To configure the firewall, first create the complex
PDU by enter the source IP address as 20.0.0.22, destination IP address as 10.0.0.22,
Sequence number as 2 and one-shot time is 2. The Complex PDU connection provides the
TCP traffic. It is shown below.

Conclusion
This project is to successfully created the simple network design by using the cisco
packet tracer. The network design is analysed and discussed in detail. It contains the cisco
router, server and PC. The Client and Server PC are connected with each other by configure
each device. The Network devices are configured. The network devices features are analysed.
The Router configuration and PC configuration is analysed and discussed in detail. The
Client pinged to the Own PC, router gateway Interface and the server. The Ping is
successfully done and discussed. The Client and Server using the trace route command to
identify the network problems by using the tracert utility. The Network device and services
are analysed and discussed. The network services are DHCP, DNS, Web server and Firewall.
The DHCP configuration is discussed and successfully created the IP address for the client
and server PC. The DNS and Web server configuration are discussed in detail. The firewall
configuration is successfully configured. It provides the secure network connection. It
analyse and identify the network traffic. It blocks the TCP traffic between the client and web
server.
