Name of the experiment : Design and configure a network
infrastructure with 4 networks connected by two Cisco routers and also
configure static routing for these networks
Apparatus:
● 8 pcs
● 4 switches
● 2 routers
Procedure:
To implement this practical following network topology is required to be
configured. After configuring the given network a packet should be ping
from any one machine to another.
Topology :
Steps to Configure a network infrastructure with 4 networks
connected by two Cisco routers and also configure static routing
for these networks :
Step 1: First, open the cisco packet tracer desktop and select the
devices given below:
S.NO Device Model Name Qty
1. Pc PC 8
2. Switch 2960 4
3. Router 2911 2
IP Addressing Table For PCs:
S.NO Device IPv4 address Subnet musk Default
Gateway
1. PC0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
2. PC1 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
3. PC2 192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
4. PC3 192.168.2.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
5. PC4 192.168.3.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1
6. PC5 192.168.3.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.1
7. PC6 192.168.4.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1
8. PC7 192.168.4.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1
● Then, create a network topology as shown below the image.
● Use an Automatic connecting cable to connect the devices with
others.
Step 2: Configure the PCs (hosts) with IPv4 address and Subnet
Mask according to the IP addressing table given above.
● To assign an IP address in PC0, click on PC0.
● Then, go to desktop and then IP configuration and there you will
IPv4 configuration.
● Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.
Step 3: Assigning IP address using the ipconfig command.
● We can also assign an IP address with the help of a command.
● Go to the command terminal of the PC.
● Then, type ipconfig <IPv4 address><subnet mask><default
gateway>(if needed)
Example: ipconfig 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
● Repeat the same procedure with other PCs to configure them
thoroughly.
Step 4: Configure router with IP address and subnet mask.
Serial Device Interface IPv4 Subnet mask
no addressing
1. Router0 GigabitEthernet 0/0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
GigabitEthernet 0/1 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
GigabitEthernet 0/2 192.168.5.1 255.255.255.0
2. Router1 GigabitEthernet 0/0 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0
GigabitEthernet 0/1 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0
GigabitEthernet 0/2 192.168.5.2 255.255.255.0
● To assign an IP address in router1, click on router1.
● Then, go to config and then Interfaces.
● Then, configure the IP address in GigabitEthernet 0/0,
GigabitEthernet 0/1 and GigabitEthernet 0/3 according to IP
addressing Table.
● Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.
● Repeat the same procedure with other routers to configure them
thoroughly.
Step 5: After configuring all of the devices we need to assign the
routes to the routers.
To assign static routes to the particular router:
● First, click on router0 then Go to CLI.
● Then type the commands and IP information given below.
CLI command : ip route <network id> <subnet mask><next hop>
Static Routes for Router0 are given below:
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.5.2
Static Routes for Router1 are given below:
Router(config)#ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.5.1
Step 6: Verifying the network by pinging the IP address of any PC.
We will use the ping command to do so.
● First, click on PC0 then Go to the command prompt
● Then type ping <IP address of targeted node>
● As we can see in the below image we are getting replies which
means the connection is working very fine
Example : ping 192.168.3.3
