Title: Building a Simple Network

Name: Zelalem Birhanu


ID: ATR/0004/09

Submitted to: Bethelhem Seifu


Submission date: October19,2019 G.C
Introduction/Purpose
In this lab I saw about the networking components and
cabling.
Networks are constructed of three major components. These
are hosts, switches and routers. In this lab I built a simple
network with two hosts and a switch. I applied IP addressing
for this lab to the PCs to enable communication between
these two devices. I also used the ping utility for verifying
connectivity.

1
Materials/Components and Equipment
Cisco Packet Tracer 7.2.2

2
Methods/Procedure
Step 1: Packet Tracer was downloaded and installed on the computer.

Step 2: I opened it and started to build a simple network.

Step 3: Choosing Devices and Connections

1: Single click on End Devices and I added two generic hosts (PCs) by
dragging them to the work area.

2: Single click on Intermediate Devices and I added a switch by


dragging it to the work area.
3: I clicked Connections to select the correct cable.
4: I clicked PC-A >FastEthernet0 and then clicked S1
>FastEthernet0/6.

5: Another correct cable was selected.

6: I clicked PC-B >FastEthernet0 and then clicked S1


>FastEthernet0/1.

Step 4: Configuring Static IP Address information on the PCs.

1: I clicked PC-A >Config >FastEthernet0.


2: In the IP Configuration, I typed in the IP address 192.168.1.10 and
the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
3: After all the IP configuration has been entered, I clicked the X at
the top right corner. Then the Config window was closed and the
information entered was saved.

4: The previous steps were repeated for entering the IP address


information on PC-B. I changed the IP address and I typed in the IP
address 192.168.1.11 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0

3
Step 5: Testing the Network

I used the command prompt to verify the PC settings and connectivity.

1: I clicked PC-A >Desktop >Command Prompt.


2: I typed in the ipconfig command.

3: I typed ping 192.168.1.11 and I press Enter key.

Discussion/Analysis
Question 1: Besides bandwidth and latency, what other parameter is
needed to give a good characterization of the quality of service offered
by a network used for

(i) Digitized voice traffic


(ii) Video traffic?
(iii) Financial transaction traffic?

ANS:

(I) Digitized voice traffic: it require the parameter other than


the bandwidth and latency the real time delivery of the
data with high throughput.

(II) Video traffic: the video codec (MPEG4, H261, H263, H264 & H265)

Size (1/8th screen,1/4 screen, full screen)

Frame rate (1 to 30 frames per second, 6 default)

The compression quality setting (low, medium, high)

(III) Financial transaction traffic :

Question 2: What type of media is used between the different devices?

ANS: Type of cabling is RJ-45 cabling i.e. straight through cabling.

5
Question 3: What outputs you get from ipconfig command?

ANS:

6
Question 4: Were the ping result successful?

ANS: Yes, it was successful.

Question 5: How many successful packets were received by PC-A?

Four packets were received.

7
Conclusion

In this lab I saw how to built a simple network using hosts and a
switch. I saw the simulation using Cisco Packet Tracer. After cabling
the two PCs to switch, I saw the green dot was flashing for each
connected port, which indicates the connection is active and some
network traffic is flowing between connecting hosts.
