Configuration of Smart Office IoT Devices using Cisco Packet Tracer

This report details the steps to configure Internet of Things (IoT) devices in a smart office environment using Cisco Packet Tracer. It covers adding and configuring a registration server for the IoT network, connecting smart devices to the wireless network and the registration server, and setting up devices like ceiling fans and smart lamps to register with the server. The report includes screenshots and explanations of the configuration process, such as enabling a wireless access point on the wireless router and connecting devices to the registration server by providing its IP address, username, and password. The use of a tablet to view connected devices on the registration server is also highlighted, along with Packet Data Unit (PDU) information. The configuration uses a wireless network named HomeNetwork with a password set as the student ID, and the attached packet tracer file provides evidence of the work. The report concludes that an IoT network simplifies daily tasks by allowing devices to be controlled from a central point.

Introduction
Many Small and large organizations utilize cisco packet tracer in coming up with network
simulations every time. This is possible since a complete network is able to be simulated with an
unlimited number of network nodes. In this paper, I am highlighting the steps taken in setting up
the Internet of Things Devices in an office and then controlling all these devices in a tablet.
1. Adding a registration server and configuring it for an IoT network
This is achieved by going into the end device section and choosing the
generic server. The registration server is then Switched on by going to the services tab and
choosing on option.

2. Configuring the Smart Devices to connect to the wireless network and to the
Registration Server.

Wireless Router with Access Control Configuration
Enabling a Wireless Access Point on the Wireless Router will allow all the
devices in the network to connect to the network and to the registration server eventually. The
wireless network is configured by going to the config tab and choosing ‘wireless’from the left
sidebar. Inside Wireless settings, Create the Network SSID which for our case we gave it as
(HomeNetwork). This is the Wireless Access point that will be seen by all other internet of
things devices in the Office.

After setting the router, the other devices too must be connected to it. This is
done by going to the config tab and choosing Wireless0 on the left side bar. Then Provide the
name that matshes the wireless SSID we created earlier. Also give the password that was
created. This is done for all other devices.
Finally, to connect the devices to the registration server, still on the config
tab, On the IoT Server section. Choose the Remote Server option and then provide the IP address
of the registration server, the username and password. The Username and password has been
created for the registration server via the tablet. Screenshots for connecting the devices to server
are as shown here below.
