Practical 4
Aim: To study various topologies used in computer networking.

list of experiments:
- Ring topology
- Star topology
- Bus topology

Cisco packet tracer:

For this practical we are using this software to perform some networking operations and creating
different network topology and structures to understand there working step by step

Cisco packet tracer is a cross-platform visual simulation tool designed by Cisco Systems that allows
users to create network topologies and imitate modern computer networks. The software allows
users to simulate the configuration of Cisco routers and switches using a simulated command line
interface. Packet Tracer makes use of a drag and drop user interface, allowing users to add and
remove simulated network devices as they see fit

 Star topology
In this topology all the systems/hosts are connected to a single central hub. It is most common
network setup. Here the central network device act as server and all other peripheral device act
as a clients/users.
Ip configuration of PC0,PC1,PC2
Running the simulation without passing any message:
Running simulation with passing a message from PC0 to PC 2:
 Using ping command from PC1 to PC2:

 Ring topology :
In this topology all the systems /hosts are connected with two other systems/hosts in form of
circular ring S.T each message passed from one host to another must pass through a
intermediate host (if exist)
Ip configuration of PCs

PC1 IPv4 Address: 198.168.0.2

PC2 IPv4 Address: 198.168.0.3
PC3 IPv4 Address: 198.168.0.4

Running the simulation without passing any message:

running simulation with passing message from PC2 to PC0
 Using ping command from PC2 to PC0:

 Bus topology:
In this topology all the systems/hosts are connect to single common line where data/packet
transfer is similar to ring topology but only difference is they don’t form a circular loop

Running simulation without passing message:

Running simulation with passing message from PC0 to PC3
