6.3.2.10 Adding Computers to an Existing Network

Objectives
Configure the computers to use DHCP.
Configure Static addressing.
Use ipconfig to retrieve host IP information.
Use ping to verify connectivity.
Hint: To ensure that the instructions always remain visible during an activity, click the "Top" check box in the
lower left-hand corner of this instruction window.
Background
In this activity, you will configure two computers in the Branch Office network. The company uses DHCP for
dynamic addressing of all PCs.
Step 1: Study the Topology

The topology shows two PCs, a switch, a server, a router, and a cloud. Considering the PCs:
a. Notice the PCs are connected to BranchSwitch using straight-through cables. Packet Tracer uses
solid lines to represent Ethernet straight-through links.
b. Notice the green dots on each side of the straight-through links (next to each PC and next to
BranchSwitch). Green dots on both sides of a link indicate the correct cable type was used to inter-
connect those devices.
Note: There should be green dots at both ends of each cable connection. If you dont see the green
dots navigate to Options > Preferences from Packet Tracer menu and check the Show Link
Lights check box.
Step 2: Configure DHCP on the PCs

a. Click PC0. A PC0 window will appear.
b. From the PC0 window, select the Desktop tab.
c. Click IP Configuration and select the DHCP button to enable the PC to act as a DHCP client. A
DHCP client will receive IP address configuration information dynamically from a DHCP server. (You
should see the following message after clicking the DHCP button: DHCP request successful.)
d. Close the PC0 configuration window by selecting the x in the upper right-hand corner.
e. Click PC1. A PC1 window will appear.
f. From the PC1 window, select the Desktop tab.
g. Click IP Configuration and select the DHCP button to enable the PC to act as a DHCP client.
h. Close the PC1 configuration window.

IT Essentials Chapter 6 Packet Tracer/Instructor
Step 3: Observe the IP Configuration Information Assigned to Each PC

a. Click PC0.
b. Select the Desktop tab.
c. Click Command Prompt.
d. At the PC> prompt, enter the ipconfig /all command.
e. Record the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address information that was
dynamically assigned via DHCP to PC0.
f. Record the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server address information that was
dynamically assigned via DHCP to PC1.
g. Using the ping command, test layer 3 connectivity between the PCs and their default router.
At the PC0> prompt, enter ping <PC1s IP address>
At the PC0> prompt, enter ping <routers IP address>
At the PC1> prompt, enter ping <PC0s IP address>
At the PC1> prompt, enter ping 172.16.1.254 (BranchOffice FastEthernet 0/0 interface IP address)
Step 4: Questions
As seen in the topology, straight-through cables were originally used to connect PC0 and PC1 to
BranchSwitch. If a cross-over cable had been used to connect PC1 to BranchSwitch, answer the following
questions:
a. In that scenario, would PC1 have acquired an IP address over DHCP?
b. Why?
c. What about PC0? Would it have acquired an IP address via DHCP if PC1 was connected to
BranchSwitch through a cross-over cable?
Step 5: Switching to Static Addressing

Despite all the benefits of dynamic addressing schemes such as DHCP, sometimes a static scheme is
required. Change PC1 from DHCP to static addressing.
a. Click PC1 to bring up its configuration window.
b. Click the Desktop tab.
c. Click IP Configuration.
d. Select Static.
e. Enter the IP information as follows:

IP Address: 172.16.1.20
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 172.16.1.254
DNS: 209.165.200.226
f. PC1 is now configured with a static address.
g. Close IP Configuration.
Step 6: Verifying Connectivity

Test connectivity by sending pings across the network.
a. Click PC1 to open its configuration window.
b. Click Desktop.
c. Click Command Prompt.
d. Ping the default gateway by typing ping 172.16.1.254. The pings should be successful.
e. Ping Server0 by typing ping 172.16.1.100. The pings should be successful.
f. Ping router used as the entry point for Corporate cloud by typing ping 172.16.200.1. The pings
should be successful.
g. Ping a server located inside the Corporate cloud by typing ping 209.165.200.226. The pings should
be successful.
h. Full connectivity has been achieved within the network.
Check your score. It should be 100%.

6.5.1.2 Physical Topologies

Learning Objectives
Familiarize the student with Star, Extended Star, and Mesh physical topologies
Introduction
In this activity, you will build a few different physical topologies using the devices shown. The physical
topologies explored in this activity are:
Star
Extended Star (also known as Hierarchical)
Mesh
Once the devices are cabled in the specified physical topology manner, you will interconnect the topologies.
Task 1: Cable devices in a Star Physical Topology
Step 1. Cabling the first star

a. Locate the following devices: PC00, PC01, PC02, PC03, and SW0. They should be located on the
top-left corner of Packet Tracers work area. These devices will comprise a star topology.
b. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Straight-Through.
Tip: Hold down the <Control> as you click the Copper Straight-Through icon to add multiple
connections.
c. Cable the mentioned PCs to SW0. Connect PC00 to SW0s Fast-Ethernet0/1, PC01 to SW0s
Fast-Ethernet0/2, PC02 SW0s Fast-Ethernet0/3, and PC03 to SW0s Fast-Ethernet0/4.
d. The mentioned devices are now connected in a star topology with SW0 acting as the stars center.
Task 2: Create the other stars
Step 1. Cabling the second star

a. Locate SW1, PC10, PC11, PC12, and PC13. These devices should be located in the left-bottom
corner of Packet Tracers work area.
b. Similarly to Task 1, cable the second star. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Straight-
Through.
connections.
c. Connect PC10 to SW1s Fast-Ethernet0/1, PC11 to SW1s Fast-Ethernet0/2, PC12 SW1s Fast-
Ethernet0/3, and PC13 to SW1s Fast-Ethernet0/4.
d. The second set of devices should be cabled as a star.
Step 2. Cabling the third star

a. Locate SW2, PC20, PC21, PC22, and PC23. These devices should be located in the center-top area
of Packet Tracers work area.
b. Cable the third star. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Straight-Through.
connections.
d. The third star should now be defined.
Step 3. Cabling the fourth star

a. Locate SW3, PC30, PC31, PC32, and PC33. These devices should be located in the center-bottom
area of Packet Tracers work area.
b. Cable the fourth star. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Straight-Through.
connections.
d. The fourth star should now be defined.
Star topologies are very useful to contain failures. If SW1s Fast-Ethernet0/1 fails the only PC10 is affected.
A very common design is to place a star at the spoke, creating an Extended Star.
Task 3. Creating an Extended Star

a. Locate SW0, SW1, SW2, SW3, and Dist_SW.
b. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Cross-Over.
c. Connect SW0, SW1, SW2, and SW3 to Dist_SW based on the table below:
Devices Switch Port Port on Dist_SW
SW0 Fast-Ethernet0/24 Fast-Ethernet0/10
d. You should now have an extended star with 4 smaller stars acting as spokes.
Task 4. Creating a Full Mesh Topology

The biggest flaw with the star topology is the major point of failure it introduces. In even of failure of the
device acting as the hub of the star, the entire star fails. In cases where a single point of failure is not
accepted, devices are commonly cabled as a full mesh. By cabling each device to all other devices, a
redundant topology is created.
In this task you will connect the core devices, MainCulster_SW1, MainCulster_SW2 and
MainCulster_SW3 as a full mesh by cable each one of them to all others. Because we have 3 devices,
each device should have 2 outbound links.
Step 1. Interconnecting the core switches.

a. Locate MainCluster_SW1, MainCluster_SW2, and MainCluster_SW3. These devices should be
located in the right area of Packet Tracers work area.
b. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Cross-Over.
Tip: Hold down the <Control> as you click the Copper Cross-Over icon to add multiple
connections.
c. Interconnect the core devices based on the table below:
Source Device Source Port Destination Device Destination Port
MainCluster_SW1 GigabitEthernet0/1 MainCluster_SW2 GigabitEthernet0/1
d. With all MainCluster switches now connected to one another, a full mesh is created in between
them.
Step 2. Create a hybrid topology

a. From the Connections menu, choose Copper Cross-Over.
b. Connect Fast-Ethernet0/24 of MainCluster_SW1 to Fast-Ethernet0/24 of Dist_SW. By

connecting the full mesh topology to the extended star, you create a hybrid topology.
c. Packet Tracer should now report 100% completion. Note: If you dont have 100%, double
check the ports used. Packet Tracer is also grading the port choice in this activity.
Task 5. Challenge Task
Step 1. Analyzing the failure points (and Increasing redundancy)

a. How many points of failure can you spot?
b. How could you reduce the amount of failure points?

Step 2. Save settings.

Scroll down the page and then click Save Settings. When the settings are accepted by the Linksys
WRT300N, a Request Timeout message will appear in the web browser window. After this message is
displayed, continue to Step 3.
Step 3. Reconnect to the wireless network.

Since the SSID has changed, WirelessPC1 is currently unable to access the network. On the Desktop
return to PC Wireless and select the Connect tab. Connect to the WRS1 network.
Task 4: Enable Wireless Security

Step 1. From the Web Browser on WirelessPC1, reconnect to the router setup page
(http://192.168.1.1).
Step 2. Navigate to the Wireless page and then select the Wireless Security tab.
Step 3. Under Security Mode, select WEP.
Step 4. Enter a WEP key.

A network is only as secure as its weakest point, and a wireless router is a very convenient place to start if
someone wants to damage your network. By requiring a WEP key to connect to the router, you are adding a
level of security.
Unfortunately, there are tools that can crack WEP key encryption. A more robust form of wireless security is
WPA and WPA-2, which are currently not supported by Packet Tracer.
Add the WEP key 1234567890 in the Key1 field.
Step 5. Save your settings.

Scroll down the page and then click Save Settings. You will become disconnected from the network again
after saving your settings. When the settings are accepted by the Linksys WRT300N, a Request Timeout
message will appear in the web browser window. After this message is displayed, continue to Step 6.
Step 6. Configure WirelessPC1 to use WEP authentication.

Return to the Desktop and click PC Wireless.
Click the Connect tab.
From the list of available wireless networks, select WRS1 and click Connect.
A screen will appear requesting the WEP key. Under WEP Key 1, type the WEP key: 1234567890
and then click Connect.
Click the Link Information tab to verify connectivity to the access point.
Your completion percentage should be 57%. If not, click Check Results to see which required components
are not yet completed.
Task 5: Managing and Securing the Web Utility of the Router

Step 1. Configure web access password.
From the Web Browser on WirelessPC1, return to the web utility page of the router (http://192.168.1.1) and
navigate to the Administration section. Change the router password to cisco to secure access to the
Linksys WRT300N by changing the default password. Note that HTTP Web Utility Access is already
selected by default.
Step 2. Scroll down the page and click Save Settings.

After implementing the changed password, the page will display: Settings are successful. Below this
message, there is a link to continue by logging into the web utility for the Linksys WRT300N. Click the
Continue link and a login window will popup. Enter the username of admin and use cisco as the password
to reconnect to the Linksys WRT300N web configuration pages.
Task 6: Change The Wireless Channel in Use

Step 1. Access Linksys WRT300N, WRS1 through the web browser.
On WirelessPC1, click the Web Browser. Enter the URL 192.168.1.1.
Step 2. Enter authentication information.

Authenticate by entering admin for the username and cisco for the password.
Step 3. Specify a wireless channel.

Many access points can automatically select a channel based on adjacent channel use. Some products
continuously monitor the radio space to adjust the channel settings dynamically in response to
environmental changes. In this task you will force the access point to work on channel 6.
Since the clients are 802.11b/g only, the Radio Band will be left as Standard-20MHz Channel.

f. What is the subnet mask of the computer?
g. What is the default gateway of the computer?
h. What is the DNS server address? What service does the DNS server provide to the network?
Task 3: Verify the network connection between PC3 and the rest of the
network
Step 1. Verify connectivity between PC3 and the rest of the network using the ping
command.
a. From the Command Prompt window, ping the default gateway for PC3. The ping should be
successful. A successful ping resembles the output below:
PC>ping 192.168.2.1
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=203ms TTL=255

Ping statistics for 192.168.2.1:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss)
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 78ms, Maximum = 203ms, Average = 117ms
b. From the Command Prompt window, ping PC1 using its IP address of 192.168.1.11. (The ping
should be successful.)
Step 2. Verify connectivity and the path between PC3 and the rest of the network using
the tracert command.
a. The tracert command is used to determine the path between a local host, in this case PC3, and a
remote host. From the Command Prompt verify the path between PC3 and PC2 using the below
command from the Command Prompt on PC3.
Type tracert 192.168.1.12 and then press the Enter key.
b. The output of the command should resemble the following information:

PC>tracert 192.168.1.12
Tracing route to 192.168.1.12 over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 187 ms 94 ms 93 ms 192.168.2.1
2 * 125 ms 125 ms 192.168.1.12
Trace complete.
c. Following the output of the command, the ICMP packets generated by the tracert command show
the packets traveling across the WRS1 LAN interface to the host, PC2.
Task 4: Using DNS

Step 1. Verify connectivity to the web server using DNS.
a. Close the Command Prompt window on PC3.
b. Click the Web Browser button.
c. Enter http://www.example.com in the URL window and click the GO button. The webpage for the
server should display.
d. DNS is used to resolve domain names to IP addresses. To verify the resolution, close the Web
Browser window on PC3.
e. Click the Command Prompt button to open the Command Prompt on PC3.
f. In the Command Prompt window ping the webserver using the domain name www.example.com.
This should generate the following output:
PC>ping www.example.com
Pinging 192.168.3.100 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.3.100:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 138ms, Maximum = 172ms, Average = 151ms
Note that the domain name www.example.com was translated by the DNS server to the IP address
for the webserver, 192.168.3.100. This verifies proper operation of the DNS server.
So far all the DNS requests were done automatically by other applications. In item (c) it was done by
the web browser and in item (f) by the ping command. To generate DNS requests directly to the
server use the nslookup command.
g. Still from PC3 Command Prompt, type nslookup www.example.com. The command followed by
its output should look like the following:
PC>nslookup www.example.com
Server: [192.168.3.100]
Address: 192.168.3.100
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.example.com
Address: 192.168.3.100
PC>
When entered in the format above, nslookup will submit a request to a DNS server asking Whats
the IP address associated to the name www.example.com.
The first line of the commands output informs the name of the DNS server who received the DNS
request. PC3 sent the request to 192.168.3.100 because it learned from WRS1 via DHCP
192.168.3.100 was to be used to resolve names. Since no name was defined to 192.168.3.100, the
IP address was shown.
The second line informs the IP address of the DNS server used in the request.
The third, fourth and fifth lines reveal the actual answer to the request: the name
www.example.com is associated to the 192.168.3.100 IP address.
IT Essentials 5.0
6.8.3.6 Connect to a Wireless Router and Configure Basic

Settings
Learning Objectives
Configure a PC to join a wireless network.
Test the wireless connection.
Introduction
In this activity, you will configure the Linksys WRT300N wireless router to accept CompanyLaptop as a
wireless client and route its IP packets.
Task 0: Changing WRT300N Display Name

Step 1. Change the WRT300N name
a. Click Wireless Router1 and navigate to the Config tab.
b. Change the Display Name to WRS1.
c. Close WRS1 window.
d. Notice that the topology now shows WRS1.
Task 1: Preparing the Network

Step 1. Preparing the Network
Note: This activity will ignore the existence of the WRT300N GUI tab to be closer to a real world
situation. A management PC (PC0) is going to be prepared to access the Linksys wireless router via
a wired connection. A web browser running on PC0 is going to be used to perform the entire
configuration.
a. Select Connections from the bottom-left side of Packet Tracer.
b. Click Copper Straight-Through (solid black line).
c. Once the cursor changes to connection mode, click on PC0 and choose FastEthernet.
d. Click WRS1 and choose Ethernet 1.
Notice that WRT300N has 2 network segments: internal and internet. Ports Ethernet 1-4 and
Wireless are considered part of the internal segment while the internet port is part of the Internet.
WRS1 will act as a layer 2 switch to the devices connected to its internal segment and as a layer 3
router between the two segments. PC0 is now connected to the internal segment (Ethernet 1). Once
Packet Tracer displays green dots on both sides of the connection between PC0 and WRS1,
continue to Task 2.
Note: If no green dots are shown, make sure to enable Show Link Lights under Options >
Preferences.
Task 2: Preparing PC0

In order to reach WRS1 management page, PC0 must be able to successfully communicate on the network.
Linksys routers factory configuration includes a DHCP server. Such server is enabled by default on the
internal LAN section of the router. To make sure PC0 acquires an IP address from the WRS1, configure
PC0 to acquire IP information over DHCP.
Step 1. Setting up PC0 to use DHCP
a. Click PC0.
b. Select the Desktop tab.
c. Select IP Configuration.
d. Select DHCP.
e. What is the IP address of the computer?
f. What is the subnet mask of the computer?
g. What is the default gateway of the computer?
Note: Values can vary within the network range due normal DHCP operation.
Task 3: Connect to the Wireless Router

Step 1. Logging into the Wireless Router
a. Close the IP Configuration window.
b. Still from the Desktop tab in PC0, Choose Web Browser.
c. Type in the IP address of the wireless router 192.168.0.1.
d. When asked for username and password, use admin for both. This is the default (factory settings)
username/password for all the Linksys products.
e. Once WRS1 web based configuration page loads, continue to Step 2.
Step 2. Analyzing WRS1 Main Configuration Page

The main page deals with the routers network setup. Scroll down this page and notice the DHCP server
already enabled (from factory) and the range of IP addresses currently being server by the router over
DHCP.
a. The IP address range served by the WRS1 over DHCP is 192.168.0.100/24. Is PC0 IP address
within this range? Is this expected?
Step 3. Configuring WSR1 Internet Port

Since WRS1 will be routing wireless clients packets to remote networks, it is necessary to configure
the Internet port. Linksys calls this interface the Internet Interface because it usually connects to an
external network. In this activity this interface will be connected to the network segment containing
Server0.
a. Change the Internet IP address method from Automatic Configuration DHCP to Static IP.
b. Type the IP address to be assigned to the Internet interface as follows:
Internet IP Address: 192.168.20.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.20.10
Leave the rest unchanged.
c. Scroll down the page and click Save Settings.
d. Click Continue and move on to Step 4.
Step 4. Configuring WSR1 SSID

a. From a web browser in PC0, log back into WRS1 (refer back to Task 3, Step 1 for more
information).
b. Navigate to Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings.
c. Change Network Name (SSID) from Default to aCompany. Notice that SSIDs are case-sensitive.
d. Keep the other settings on this page in their defaults.
e. Scroll down the page and click Save Settings.
f. Laptop0 should now be associated to WRS1.
Task 4: Advanced Configuration

Step 1. Change WRS1 Access Password
a. From a web browser in PC0, log back into WRS1 (refer back to Task 3, Step 1 for more
information).
b. Navigate to Administration > Management and change the current WRS1 current password to
cisco.
c. Scroll down the window and click Save Settings.
d. The login window appears. Login again but this time using the new password cisco.
e. A page showing the message Settings are successful is displayed. Click Continue.
Step 2. Changing DHCP address range in WRS1

Since the IP address assigned to the internal LAN interface of WRS1 must be within the range of IP
addresses used by DHCP, the IP address of that interface must be changed.
a. From a web browser in PC0, log back into WRS1 using 192.168.0.1 as the website address, enter
admin as the username and cisco as the password.
b. Navigate to Setup > Basic Setup.
c. Scroll down the page to Network Setup.
d. The IP address assigned to WRS1 internal LAN is 192.168.0.1/24. Change it to 192.168.50.1/24.
e. Scroll down the page and click Save Settings.
f. Note that the DHCP range of address has been automatically updated to reflect the interface IP
address change.
g. Close the PC0 web browser.
h. Still from PC0 Desktop tab, Click on the Command Prompt.
i. Type ipconfig /renew to force PC0 re-acquire its IP information via DHCP.
j. PC0 IP address now belongs to the 192.168.50.0/24 IP range.
Check your score, you should have 100%.
