Lab Task#1

AIM : To learn the various types of networking cabling connections and to study the
differences between CAT5 , CAT6 and CAT3 cables.

Background Theory Involved :

There are generally three main types of networking cables: straight-through, crossover, and rollover cables. Each cable type has a distinct use, and should not be used in place of another. Straight-Through Cables Straight-through cables get their name from how they are made. Out of the 8 pins that exist on both ends of an Ethernet cable, each pin connects to the same pin on the opposite side. Review the diagram below for a visual example:

Notice how each wire corresponds to the same pin. Straight-through cables are primarily used for connecting unlike devices. A straight-through cable is typically used in the following situations: Use a straight-through cable are used when: 1. Connecting a router to a hub 2. Connecting a computer to a switch 3. Connecting a LAN port to a switch, hub, or computer Note that some devices such as routers will have advanced circuitry, which enables them to use both crossover and straight-through cables. In general, however, straight-through cables will not connect a computer and router because they are not unlike devices. Why Use Crossover Cables? Crossover cables are very similar to straight-through cables, except that they have pairs of wires that crisscross. This allows for two devices to communicate at the same time. Unlike straightthrough cables, we use crossover cables to connect like devices. A visual example can be seen below:

Notice how all we did was switch the orange-white and green-white wires, and then the orange and green wires. This will enable like devices to communicate. Crossover cables are typically used in the following situations:

1. Connecting a computer to a router/computer 3. Connecting a router to a router 4. Connecting a switch to a switch 5. Connecting a hub to a hub

Why Use Rollover Cables? Rollover cables, like other cabling types, got their name from how they are wired. Rollover cables essentially have one end of the cable wired exactly opposite from the other. This essentially rolls over the wires- but why would we need to do such a thing? Rollover cables, also called Yost cables, usually connect a device to a router or switchs console port. This allows a programmer to make a connection to the router or switch, and program it as needed. Notice that each wire is simply rolled over. These types of cables are generally not used very much, so are usually colored differently from other types of cables.

Lab Task#2
AIM : Forming a simple Two Node Topology Steps
1. Select two PC(s) from the End Devices section.
2. Now Select Automatically choose connection type form under the Connections

section. 3. Now connect the two PC(s).

4.

Click the first Device (PC0) and go to the config tab.

5. Now Select fast Ethernet and provide the static IPV4 address as 192.168.1.1. Clicking on the subnet tab below will fill in the default subnet for you. Close the window after filling the subnet. 6. Follow similar process for second device (PC1) use the IPV4 address 192.168.1.2 and default subnet 7. Select the stimulation button on the lower right corner. 8. Now select the simple PDU packet and use it over the first device (PC0) then click over the destination device (PC1). 9. Pressing capture and forward will show you the path of the packet (see output below)

Lab Task # 3
Aim:Configure a Router with console and add password and secret password in the system.
Theory Involved: The two most basic of passwords a Cisco router can provide support for is the enable password and enable secret commands. Depending on the IOS version, administrators will likely only need to setup the enable secret command. For Cisco routers running IOS versions before version 10.3, enable password is going to be used. It is the outdated version of the two, and well see why it isnt used in average applications after we enable it. You can enable this basic password following the commands seen below. Commands Used: Router> enable Router# config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)# enable password newpassmohit Router> enable Password: Router# show running-config Building configuration Current configuration : 162 bytes ! version 12.2 no service password-encryption ! hostname Router ! ! enable password newpassmohit Enable Secret Router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. Router(config)#enable secret mohitbh Router# show running-config Building configuration Current configuration : 209 bytes ! version 12.2 no service password-encryption ! hostname Router ! ! enable secret 5 $1$mERr$7sOd0mgRuXYhHwfWsV4QZ/ enable password mypassword !

Lab Task # 4
Aim: Configure a complex network topology using Switches and Routers, and passing complex Protocol Data Units to terminals using Gateways.

Steps Involved: 1. Add the Laptop devices and connect them to a switch, Gateway for the Laptops is 192.168.1.1 which is the Router. 2. Connect the switch with a router though FastEthernet port 0/0, allocating the router to the Laptop network of 192.168.1.0 and IP of the router at the Network as 192.168.1.1. 3. Configure FastEthernet 0/1 to the other laptop terminal with network address 10.10.10.0 and IP of This Connection to the router is 10.10.10.1 4.Test the Routing capabilities of each device by sending a complex PDU between two distant sources and checking for a successful transmission.

Lab Task# 5
Aim: To configure IP address of a group of terminals using Domain Host Configuration Protocol Service on a server.

Steps Involved: 1. In the topology add a Server and Create a DHCP Pool by giving a name and Allocating Address like ip dhcp exc 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.99 ---Exclude these IPs ip dhcp pool P1------Name The Pool network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0-------Limit the IPs in the Pool default-router 192.168.1.1 2. Now connect each End Device via a Switch to the Server and Each End Device should be configured to receive IP Address via DHCP Configuration and not via static configuration.

Setup Screen:

Lab Task# 6
Aim: To configure multiple servers and implement static routes between different gate way routers.

Steps Involved: 1. In the topology create a backbone network of 3 routers connected by a serial link . 2. Configure each backbone network with a specific IP address network . 3. Allot each Router with a specific IP Address corresponding to the Network Address. 4. Add in each router a specific Routing table which will allow each router to exchange routing tables and create paths between them 5. Now send packets from one part of the network to the other.
