Star Topology using Hub & Switch

Star Topology
Alternatively referred to as a star network, star topology is one of the most common network setups. In this configuration, every node connects to a central network device, like a hub, switch, or computer. The central network device acts as a server and the peripheral devices act as clients. Depending on the type of network card used in each computer of the star topology, a coaxial cable or an RJ-45 network cable is used to connect computers together.

Steps:

1) Create a network topology.

2) Assign IPs to the PCs.

3) Configure Router using CLI :-

Router>enter

Router>enable

Router(Config)#int gig 0/1

Router(Config)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Router(Config)#exit

Router(Config)#line console 0

Router(Config-line)#password CISCO

Router(Config-line)#login

Router(Config-line)#exit

Router(Config)#enable password CISCO

Router(Config)#hostname Aseem

Router(Aseem Config)#exit

Router(Aseem)#write

Router(Aseem)#show startup

Generate Traffic in Simulation Mode

Objectives Part 1: Generate Network Traffic in Simulation Mode Part 2: Examine the Functionality of the TCP and UDP Protocols Background This simulation activity is intended to provide a foundation for understanding the TCP and UDP in detail. Simulation mode provides the ability to view the functionality of the different protocols. As data moves through the network, it is broken down into smaller pieces and identified in some fashion so that the pieces can be put back together. Each of these pieces is assigned a specific name (protocol data unit [PDU]) and associated with a specific layer. Packet Tracer Simulation mode enables the user to view each of the protocols and the associated PDU. The steps outlined below lead the user through the process of requesting services using various applications available on a client PC. This activity provides an opportunity to explore the functionality of the TCP and UDP protocols, multiplexing and the function of port numbers in ...

Socket Programming

SOCKET PROGRAMMING TCP SOCKET PROGRAMMING TCP Python provides two levels of access to network services. At a low level, you can access the basic socket support in the underlying operating system, which allows you to implement clients and servers for both connection-oriented and connectionless protocols. Python also has libraries that provide higher-level access to specific application-level network protocols, such as FTP, HTTP, and so on. What is Sockets? Sockets are the endpoints of a bidirectional communications channel. Sockets may communicate within a process, between processes on the same machine, or between processes on different continents. Sockets may be implemented over a number of different channel types: Unix domain sockets, TCP, UDP, and so on. The socket library provides specific classes for handling the common transports as well as a generic interface for handling the rest. Sockets have their own vocabulary − Term & Description 1...

Configuring Routing Information Protocol

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) It is a dynamic routing protocol which uses hop count as a routing metric to find the best path between the source and the destination network. It is a distance vector routing protocol which has AD value 120 and works on the application layer of OSI model. RIP uses port number 520. Steps: 1) Initially select 2 PCs, 2 Switches & 2 Routers namely, PC-1 & PC-2, Switch-1 & Switch-2 and Router-1 & Router-2 respectively. 2) Make all the necessary connections using serial gateway 0/1, 3) Assign IP Addresses, Subnet Mask and Gateway as follows- PC-1 192.168.2.1 255.255255.0 192.168.2.2 PC-2 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.2 Switch-1 ...
