Configure a basic router setup using Cisco Packet Tracer or a similar network simulation tool.

Set up a basic wireless network with a wireless router(Sketch).

Perform the following experiment on a Linux system: Explore and select three networking Linux commands of your choice, try them, and explain their usage.

Describe the steps to configure a router with a given IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.

Packet Tracer Step-by-Step GuidePART 1If you cannot figure out how to install and configure Packet Tracer, first watch the twointroduction videos in the course page.Start Packet Tracer.1. Take a few minutes to become familiar with the interface.2. Click on Switches -> (2950-24). Then click on the topology area (centre). A Switchwill appear (Switch0).3. Click on End Devices -> Generic (PC-PT). Then click on the topology area. A PC willappear (PC0).4. Click on Connections -> Copper Straight-Through.a. Click on PC0. Select FastEthernet0.b. Click on Switch. Select FastEthernet0/1.c. A link will appear between the hub and the PC. This is an Ethernetconnection.5. Similarly add another PC (PC1) and connect them to the Switch.6. Click on PC0. You will see a window with 4 panes (Physical, Config, Desktop andSoftware/Services). You can switch on/off the pc and configure varioussoftware/hardware parameters through this window.7. Click on Desktop -> IP Configurationa. Select ‘Static’b. Enter the IP Address 192.168.1.1c. Enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0d. Close the window8. Similarly, set the IP addresses 192.168.1.2 to PC1.9. Click on PC0a. Go to Desktop -> Command Promptb. Type ipconfig end enter.c. You will see the IP configuration of the computer.d. Type ping 192.168.1.2 and entere. You will see echo replies from 192.168.1.2 (PC1).f. You have just tested the network connection between PC0 and PC1.10. Similarly, test the network connectivity from PC1 to PC0.11. You have just implemented a simple network with 2 PCs.PART 21. Click on Routers. Select Router (1941). Add it to the topology.2. Click on End Devices again -> Generic (Server-PT). Add it to the topology (Set IP:192.168.2.1)3. Connect GigabitEthernet0/0 and GigabitEthernet0/1 interfaces of the Router0 toSwitch0 and Server0 respectively. (Note: use Connections -> Copper CrossOver forconnecting Router to Server).4. Click on Router1 - Go to Configa. Click on GigabitEthernet0/0. Set the IP address to 192.168.1.254 and thesubnet mask to 255.255.255.0 then Select ‘On.’ This will bring up the routerinterface.b. Click on GigabitEthernet0/1. Set the IP address to 192.168.2.254 and thesubnet mask to 255.255.255.0 then Select ‘On’c. You have just configured a router connected to two networks with theminimum required configuration.

Task: Design a Simple Network Diagram1. Objective:Illustrate the connection between different devices in a small computer network.2. Requirements:Identify and include at least three types of devices (e.g., computer, printer, router).Use appropriate symbols for each device in your diagram.Connect the devices using proper lines to represent network connections.Label each device and connection.3. Key Points to Include:Show the flow of data between devices.Include a brief explanation of why networks are essential in computer systems.4. Submission:Present your network diagram on a poster or digital platform.Provide a short description of how your network diagram demonstrates the concept of computer connections.
