Data Communication and Networking (202044506)

Practical-4
Aim:- Implement different LAN topologies using Cisco Packet Tracer

1) Bus Topology

Step:1 - take 4 laptops and 4 switches

Step:2-connect switches through copper straight wire and connect laptop to switch
through copper cross over wire

Step:3-give IP address to each computer

Step:4- make note of each IP address given to each laptop

Step:5-select the source and destination laptop through which message can pass on (i.e. laptop 0
is source and laptop 2 is destination)

Step:6-message will pass through switches and reaches destination laptop

Step 7:- message is verify at destination laptop and a right trick mark is generated at source
laptop . that means our message is pass on.

2)Ring Topology
Step 1: take 4 laptop and 4 switches

Step 2: connect switches through copper cross over wire and laptop and switch through copper
straight wire

Step 5: select source and destination laptop to pass the message

Step 6: message is pass to the destination laptop and laptop will get cross mark

Step 7: once the message is pass on , correct mark will be there on source laptop

3)Star topology
Step 1: take 4 pc and one hub

Step 2: connect all pc to hub through copper straight wire and give ip address to each pc and
make note of it

Step 3: select the source and destination pc to pass the message

Step 4: except the destination pc all other pc will get cross mark on it

Step 5: once the message is pass on the source pc will get thick mark on it

4) Mesh topology
