Lab 3: Building a complete network on Packet Tracer I.Objectives:

Create a simulated network topology using Packet Tracer to build The Illustrated (IN) Network Layout Design an IP addressing scheme Apply IP addresses to the routers and workstations in the simulation Test the simulated topology to verify IP connectivity

1. Introduction of Illustrated Network (IN) The Illustrated Network is composed of four major components: Two Ethernet LANs switches with the hosts of our fictional organization, one in New York and one in Los Angeles. The offices have different ISPs (a common enough situation), and the site routers link to Ace ISP on the West Coast and Best ISP on the East Coast with Gigabit Ethernet links. Two ISPs link to each other directly and also link to the global public Internet.

One employee of this organization is shown linking a home wireless network to the West Coast ISP with a high-speed (broadband) digital subscriber line (DSL) link. The rest of the links are highspeed WAN links and two Gigabit Ethernet (GE) links. (Its becoming more common to use GE links across longer distances, but this network employs other WAN technologies.) The Illustrated Network is representative of many LANs, ISPs, and users around the world. Host: A host is any endpoint or end system device that runs TCP/IP. In most cases, these devices are ordinary desktop and laptop computers. However, in some cases hosts can be cell phones, handheld, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and so on. Intermediate system: Hosts that do not communicate directly pass information through one or more intermediate systems. Intermediate systems are often generically called network nodes or just nodes. Specific devices are labeled routers, bridges, or switches, depending on their precise roles in the network. The intermediate nodes on the Illustrated Network are routers with some switching capabilities. System: This is just shorthand for saying the device can be a host, router, switch, node, or almost anything else on a network.

2. Illustrated Network Router Roles The intermediate systems or network nodes used on the Illustrated Network are routers. Not all of the routers play the same role in the network, and some have switching capabilities. The routers role depends on its position in the network. Generally, smaller routers populate the edge of the network near the LANs and hosts, while larger Computer Networks 2 Laboratories 2

The routers on our network have one of three networkcentric designations; we have LAN switches also, but these are not routers. Customer edge (CE): These two routers belong to us, in our role as the customer who owns and operates the hosts and LANs. These CE routers are smaller than the other routers in terms of size, number of ports, and capabilities. Technically, on this network, they perform a gateway role. Provider edge (PE): These two routers gather the traffic from customers (typically there are many CE routers, of course). They are not usually accessible by customers. Provider (P): These six routers are arranged in what is often called a quad. The two service providers on the Illustrated Network each manage two providers routers in their network core. Quads make sure traffic flows smoothly even if any one router or one link fails on the providers core networks.

2. Lab Steps Note: All links use 10.0.x.y addressing, where x.y the two last octets shown on the link. Depending on the type of Cisco devices and ports , the interface designation convention might change. En general, definition: <port type> <slot num>/<port adapter num>/<port num> Example: Ethernet port : <type> <slot>/<port>, Serial port: serial <router itself>/<slot>/<port> If the interface is not available, you add modules from physical tab of the device. On router, if GE is not available, use FE instead.

Serial link must be used with DCE-DTE

1. Reload your file YourStudentCode_CN2Lab1.pkt saved at Lab 1 into the Cisco Packet Tracer (using always the same version 5.3). 2. You have your network diagram of 2 LANs (LAN1 and LAN2) using the Cisco Catalyst 2960 (named SwLAN1 and SwLAN2) connected to some BSD, Linux, Windows hosts. 3. Connect 2 LANs to the gateways CE0 and CE6 using the Cisco Router 1841 as shown on Network Layout. 4. Mesh all provider routers (PE5, P9, P4, P7, P2, PE1) using Cisco Router 2811 with the WAN links (using either the fiber media or serial links). 5. Configure one static path from CE0, PE5, P9, P7, PE1, to CE6 or use RIP as routing protocol. On any router, type: CE0(config)#router rip CE0(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 CE0(config-router)#do sh ip route and CE0(config-router)#do sh ip protocols

6. Test connectivity (pinging) from a host on LAN1 to the CE0 and ACE ISP routers (PE5). 7. Solve the problems of connectivity in public global Internet, try to ping from PE5 to PE1. 8. Traceroute from a host on LAN1 (wincli1) to a host on LAN2 (winsvr2). 9. Take a time to pass through Simulation Mode, how a packet from wincli1 propagates to winsvr2?

Finish your work by saving your network diagram in YourStudentCode_CN2Lab3.pkt and send this file to your Lab Instructor by email.
