Experiment Name: Basic Router configuration
Devices and Component List:
Device name Cisco Packet Tracer
Components—
● Network Connection
● IP addressing
Step 1: First of all, start Cisco Packet Tracer
Step 2: Before setting up the network layout, it's important to first decide which
devices (like routers, switches, and end-user equipment) to use and determine how
they will be connected. This selection process ensures the network will function
effectively once built.
We will use Switches, Connections, Devices (PC), and Routers.
Step 3: Creating the network by connecting all required devices.
Step 4: Setting up the router’s port in Physical mode. After setting up the router
port, configure the router in the CLI by giving some command. Which are shown
below. As our network has only two Ethernet ports, we will only configure the ports
fa0/0 & fa1/0.
Step 5: Assign a unique IP address, subnet masks, and a default gateway to each
host in the network.
IP addresses I assigned for pc’s are:
Reshad’s pc: Muaz’s pc:
IP: 192.168.10.2 IP: 192.168.20.2
subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 subnet mask: 255.255.255.240
Default gateway: 192.168.10.1 Default gateway: 192.168.20.1
Mubeen’s pc: Ohi’s pc:
IP: 192.168.10.3 IP: 192.168.20.3
subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 subnet mask: 255.255.255.240
Default gateway: 192.168.10.1 Default gateway: 192.168.20.1
My FastEthernet 0/0 default gateway is: 192.168.10.1
My FastEthernet 1/0 default gateway is: 192.168.20.1
After doing all these things, our network will look like this, as shown below:
Step 6: Verify that all configurations are correct and the devices are properly
connected through message passing.
