Basic Client-Server Network Simulation
Basic Client-Server Network Simulation
Roll no: 20
Setup:
Step 1: Firstly, in Cisco Packet Tracer open a new project:
Setup:
Step 2: Design a simple network topology consisting of:
1 Server, 1 Client PC, 1 Switch
Note: Use the Ethernet cables to connect the client PC and server to the switch
Configuration:
Server Configuration:
Step 1: Assign IP Address: 192.168.1.1 with Subnet Mask 255.255.225.0
Configuration:
Server Configuration:
Step 2: Enable DHCP service
Configuration:
Client Configuration:
Step 1: Assign IP Address: 192.168.1.2 with Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Configuration:
Client Configuration:
Step 2: Set Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Verify Connectivity:
Step 1: From the Client, use the ping command to test connectivity to the server
Testing:
Step 1:
Ping Test: Ensure successful ping from the client to server
Testing:
Step 2:
Web Access: Verify the Client can access the server’s web page or service
1) Firstly in web server, in services edit the index.html file to give the text for the web page:
Testing:
2) Then in DNS Server services add the URL name with the IP Address:
Testing:
3) Then finally in Client PC go to the Web browser and search for the URL name:
In this way, we can verify whether client can access the server’s web page or service.
Troubleshooting:
1) Checking and troubleshooting any connectivity issues.
Step 1: To check or verify the connectivity of the Client-Server we’ll send the Protocol data unit(PDU) from
Client to the server.
Troubleshooting:
Step 2: Send the PDU message from the Client to the server, to see if the connection is successfully
achieved or not.
In this way, we can ensure that if our devices are connected correctly or not.
