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 ...

CISCO PACKET TRACER

Cisco Packet Tracer Cisco developed Packet Tracer to help networking academy students achieve the most optimal learning experience while gaining practical networking technology skills. Packet Tracer is a powerful network simulation platform inspiring students to experiment with network behavior and ask 'what if' questions. It supplements physical equipment in the classroom by allowing students to create a network with an almost unlimited number of devices, encouraging practice, discovery and troubleshooting. Example of CISCO Packet Tracer Work space Key Features: 1. Packet Tracer Work Space : CISCO packet tracer has two work space modes, Logical and Physical. The logical work space allows users to build logical network topology by placing, connecting and clustering virtual network devices. The physical work space p...

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...
