Experiment 1

Configuration the following application layer web services of the given network.
1. DHCP
2. DNS
3. HTTP/HTTPS
4. Email/SMTP
1. First configure the network, router and routing protocol
Router 0 and Router 1
Now assign a static IP address to PC1, PC2, PC3 and PC4. Let’s check that they can communicates successfully
or not. Here in this example, we are using static routing. You also try with RIP, OSPF and EIGRP. Once your
network is working successfully then add application layer services to the network. Add the servers to the network
for their services. All the server has static IP address.
2. Configure DHCP
To configure DHCP take one server in network 192.168.10.0 and another server in network 192.168.30.0. To
configure DHCP in server, go to server services → Choose DHCP → make the service “On” → you can provide
a pool name → Provide default gate way → provide DNS server IP address if available otherwise give it 0.0.0.0
→ Providing the starting IP address (before the starting IP address all other IP addresses are static) → Subnet
mask → Then add or save it (In this example we will not change the server pool name so we simply save it). Now
configure DHCP servers IP addresses.
Go to PCs IP configuration and select DHCP. You can see that IP address will be assigned automatically. For example,

Now check the communication between PCs from different network.


3. Configure HTTP/HTTPs
Take one server in network 192.168.10.0 and another server in network 192.168.30.0 with the IP address 192.168.10.4 and
192.168.30.4 respectively. Don’t forget to assign the DNS server IP address. If you are configuring the DNS server after the
HTTP server configuration then don’t forget to assign the DNS server IP address to the HTTP server IP configuration. Example
given below

Now go to services → click on HTTP → click at “On” → Now you can create a new html file or overwrite an existing
index.html file. We are editing index.html file with following code.
Now browse the website from PCs with the IP address of HTTP server (we are using IP address because till we not defined any
DNS name for this website)
Same way you can configure the second HTTP server for a website and search it from a web browser from a PC.
4. Configure DNS
Take a server in the network 192.168.10.0. Assign a static IP to the DNS server as 192.18.10.3.

Now assign the DNS name for your HTTP/HTTPs or other services. Turn on the DNS service and add the name and
corresponding IP address of a website or service.
Now you can browse the websites google.com and yahoo.com from the PCs. (before browsing check all devices and DHCP
servers correctly configured DNS IP address)
5. Configure SMTP
Take one server in network 192.168.10.0 and another server in network 192.168.30.0 with the IP address 192.168.10.5 and
192.168.30.5 respectively. Don’t forget to assign the DNS server IP address. If you are configuring the DNS server after the
SMTP server configuration then don’t forget to assign the DNS server IP address to the SMTP server IP configuration. Example
given below
Go to services → Click on Email → turn on SMTP service → then assign domain name followed by username and password.
Now go to PCs and configure the email services. PC → Desktop → Email
Same way configures the other PCs
Now write email from one PC and send to another PC and vice versa.
If you want to send the email between different SMTP servers then you have to configure DNS server with DNS name. Add all
SMTP server IP addresses and corresponding DNS name. To configure SMTP 1 & SMTP 2, see the given example below
Now you are able to send email between different mail servers.
Experiment 2
Configure the following network with different application layer services

Server 0 is Google.com, Server3 is Gmail.com, Server 6 is Amazon.com, Server 9 is rediffmail.com, Server 2 is DHCP server
for network 192.168.1.0, Server 8 is DHCP server for network 192.168.2.0. All the services information will store at local DNS
server.
Experiment 3
Design, Configure, verify and troubleshoot the given network using static routing protocol.

First design the basic network structure with different devices. Now configure wireless connection for access point. Double click
on access point. Click on configuration. Then go to port 0. Enable or click on check box of the port status. Then go to port 1.
Provide SSID (Access point username). Set you authentication type as WEP. Provide a WEP key (Access point password length
is minimum 10). Now you are ready to configure your devices to connect with access point.
First configure your PC2. Double click on PC2. Go to physical. Switch off the power button. Remove the Ethernet card by
dragging and add a WMP300N to the slot from the list. Switch on the power button.
Now go to config then turn on the wireless 0. If you want you can add the SSID and WEP key manually or it will automatically
configure when PC wireless configuration done.

Go to desktop. Click on PC wireless. Click on connect. Click on refresh button. Select your access point and click on connect.
Provide your WEP key/password.

Now go to IP configuration to set PC’s IP address. Always configure your device IP address after configuring the wireless
connection. Now ping/ send packet from PC2 to router or other PC’s.
Laptop configuration is same as PC configuration.
Double click on Smart phone. Go to config. Select wireless 0. Provide access point SSID and WEP Key.

Now assign IP address for smart phone from IP configuration. Now ping/ send packet from smart phone to router or other
devices.
Tablet configuration is same as smart phone configuration. Go to printer. Go to physical. Switch off the power button. Remove
the Ethernet card by dragging and add a WMP300N to the slot from the list. Switch on the power button.

Go to config and select wireless 0. Provide access point SSID, WEP Key, IP address. Then go to settings and provide gateway.
Now ping/ send packet from smart phone to router or other devices.
Experiment 2: Design, Configure, verify and troubleshoot the given network using static routing protocol.

Configure the basic network. Add a wireless router. Double click on wireless router. Go to config. Select internet and provide
default gateway.
Select LAN and provide IP address and subnet mask.

Go to wireless. Provide access point SSID and WEP Key.

Now connect the devices with the router using assignment 1 process.
Now ping/ send packet from smart phone to router or other devices.
