Some Basic Commands of Cisco Packet Tracer

STUDY OF BASIC COMMANDS OF CISCO PACKET TRACER

  • ENABLE: To enter privileged EXEC mode or any other security level set by a system administrator, use the enable EXEC command.
                             Syntax: >> enable [priviledge level]
                                          ---> privilege level: optional
  • CONFIGURE TERMINAL/ config t: Enter the global configuration mode, when using the console part.
                              Eg. >> enable
                                    >> config t
                          (config)#
  • EXIT: To exit any configuration mode to the next highest mode in the CLI mode hierarchy, use the exit command in any configuration mode.
                             E.g. >>exit
  • INT FA 0/0 OR 0/1: The notation is denoting that there are multiple NIC interfaces on the switch/ router. 'fa' indicates that the NIC port is most likely a fast ethernet type of connection.
                            E.g. >> int fa 0/0
  • SWITCH PORT ACCESS: To set the access VLAN when the interface is in access mode.
                           Syntax >> switchport access -vlan id-
                                            -vlan id- VLAN to set when the interface is in access mode.
                                                           The range is from 1 to 4094 except for the VLANs reserved
                                                            for external use. 

CONNECTING PCS WITH SWITCH:

  • First, take 4PCs and label them as PC 0, 1, 2, 3.
  • Now, Connect these 4PCs through Copper Straight Through cable to switch ST2950T-24.
  • Then, configure the IP Addresses of all the PCs by setting the IPs as 198.162.100.10/ 20/ 30/ 40.
  • Now, open the CLI of the switch and tap ENTER. Now from here, we will be able to configure the switch.
  • Then enter 'enable' in the CLI.  [  (switch)# enable  ]
  • Enter 'config t' or 'config terminal' on CLI.
                          (switch)# enable
                          (switch)# config t
                          (config)#
  • Now enter the vlan2 to make another virtual LAN other than default and name it as you want. Here we took CCE.
                          (config)# vlan2
                 (config-vlan)# name cce
  • This will create your vlan2 (CCE).
  • Now enter exit.
                (config- vlan)# exit
                        (config) #
  • Enter the int fa 0/0 to config the interface of fast ethernet 0/0.
                       (config)# int fa 0/0
                 (config-fa )#
  • Now we will switch the port of PC0 from VLAN 1 to VLAN 2 by entering switchport access vlan2.
                 (config-fa)# switchport access vlan2
  • This way we can config the PCs and get them into their own LAN network.

Configuring Open Shortest Path First Protocol:

Configuring Open Shortest Path First Protocol: What is OSPF? The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is one of a family of IP Routing protocols, and is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for the Internet, used to distribute IP routing information throughout a single Autonomous System (AS) in an IP network. The OSPF protocol is a link-state routing protocol, which means that the routers exchange topology information with their nearest neighbours. The topology information is flooded throughout the AS so that every router within the AS has a complete picture of the topology of the AS. This picture is then used to calculate end-to-end paths through the AS, normally using a variant of the Dijkstra algorithm. Therefore, in a link-state routing protocol, the next hop address to which data is forwarded is determined by choosing the best end-to-end path to the eventual destination. CONFIGURATION: STEPS: 1)  Select  3PCs  and connect them with  Routers  and Switches . T hen

Introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer

Image
Introduction: Packet Tracer is a platform for visual representation/ simulation tools for Network development, developed by Cisco system, which allows users to create networks, and gives the privilege to configure routers, PCs and network devices through the virtual command line. Key Features: Packet Tracer Workspace:   Cisco Packet Tracer has two workspaces; one physical and another logical. The logical workspace allows users to build virtual networks by providing virtual switches, hubs, PCs, Routers and connecting devices as cables, connecting wires. Users can make virtual network topologies by placing, connecting the virtual network devices. The physical workspace shows the graphical representation of the logical network. 1. Logical Workspace 2. Physical Workspace Packet Tracer Modes:  Cisco Packet Tracer provides users with two operation modes to get the essences of the networks by visualizing the behaviour networks. One is Real Time Mode and another is

Configuring Static NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer

Configuring Static NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer NAT: There are several situations where we need address translation such as a network which don't have sufficient public IP addresses want to connect with the internet , two networks which have save IP addresses want to merge or due to security reason a network want to hide its internal IP structure from the external world. NAT is the process which translates IP addresses. NAT can be performed at firewall , server and router. Our network is built with private IP addresses and we want to connect it with the internet .As we know to connect with internet we require public IP addresses. In this situation we can use NAT which will map private IP with public IP. Two networks which are using same IP addresses scheme want two merge. In this situation NAT device is used to avoid overlapping issue. We want to connect multiple  computers with internet through the single public IP addresses.In this situation NAT is used to map the mult
