AIM:

To configure router with Packet Tracer.

PROCEDURE:

o Open the program and select the router from the lower left-hand corner and drag it
into the center of the Sandbox screen.

o We will be setting up a very basic network that allows two computers to

communicate, so that next step is to select End devices from the bottom left-hand
corner and drag it into the Sandbox screen. Do this twice to make two computers
to appear the router.

o Select ‘Connections’ from the same bottom left-corner. To connect like devices,
use crossover cable, so select Copper Cross-over cable.

o Click Router 0 and connect the cable via Fast Ethernet 0/0.

o Click PCO and select Fast Ethernet.

o Although lik is established, it is not functional. This is identified by the red dots at
both the ends of the connection.

o Once the router is configured correctly, it will turn to green, by which devices can
communicate.

o Do the same operation to PCI, only this time connect the cable to Fast Ethernet
0/1.

CONFIGURING THE ROUTER WITH PACKET TRACER:

Click on the router to bring up Configuration menu and verify it is Turned On.
There will be a small green light below the switch seen.

Now we to open the Ethernet ports to allow communication. Click the CLI tab.

o Press RETURN to start the session.

o Type ‘Enable’ to get to priviledged mode.

o Type ‘Config Terminal’ to access Configuration menu.

 o Type ‘Interface FastEthernet 0/0’ to access Ethernet 0/0.

o Type ‘IP address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0’ to assign IP address and subnet

mask.

o Type ‘No Shutdown’ to open the interface.

Do the same for the FastEthernet 0/1.

o Press ‘Ctrl+Z’ to go back to previous mode.

o Type ‘Interface FastEthernet 0/1’.

o Type ‘IP address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0’.

o Type ‘No Shutdown’.

CONFIGURING THE GATEWAY IN PACKET TRACER:

o Click on PCO to bring Configuration menu.

o Enter the corresponding IP address as 192.168.10.1.

o Use 192.168.10.2 for IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask.

o Do the same for PCI,

Gateway address : 192.168.20.1

IP address : 192.168.20.2
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

o Click on PCO and then PCI. Message box will be displayed as “Successful”.

RESULT:

Thus the router is configured using the Packet Tracer.
