Computer Networks Lab (23IT5352)

WEEK 1
Date: 26/06/2025
Roll Number: 238W1A1296

Aim:

To draw and implement different network topologies (Bus, Star, Ring, Mesh, and Hybrid) using
Cisco Packet Tracer.

Apparatus/Software Required:

 Cisco Packet Tracer software


 Computer system with Windows/Linux OS

Procedure:

1. Bus Topology:

 Definition: In bus topology, all devices are connected to a single central cable, called the
bus.
 Construction Steps:
o Open Cisco Packet Tracer.
o Add multiple end devices (PCs).
o Connect all devices using a single straight-through cable.
o Use hubs or repeaters if necessary.
o Assign IP addresses to each device.
 Output:

2. Star Topology:

 Definition: In star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub or switch.
 Construction Steps:
o Open Cisco Packet Tracer.
o Add end devices (PCs) and a switch.
o Connect each PC to the switch using straight-through cables.
o Assign IP addresses to each PC.
 Output:

3. Ring Topology:

 Definition: In ring topology, each device is connected to exactly two other devices,
forming a ring.
 Construction Steps:
o Add multiple PCs in a circular arrangement.
o Connect each PC to its two neighbors using crossover cables.
o Assign IP addresses.
 Output:

4. Mesh Topology:

 Definition: In mesh topology, every device is connected to every other device.


 Construction Steps:
o Add multiple PCs.
o Connect each PC to every other PC using individual cables.
o Assign IP addresses accordingly.
 Output:

5. Hybrid Topology:

 Definition: Hybrid topology is a combination of two or more different topologies.


 Construction Steps:
o Create two or more topologies (e.g., star + bus).
o Connect them using appropriate network devices.
o Assign IPs and simulate connectivity.
 Output:

Result:

The different network topologies were successfully created and simulated using Cisco Packet
Tracer.
