Pre-Requisite: Advantages and Disadvantages of Tree Topology

In the tree topology of networking, the elements and devices are arranged like a tree structure and have branches of connections between the devices connected to each other. To implement tree topology in Cisco there are various steps as follows:

Steps to Configure and Setup Tree Topology in Cisco Packet Tracer:

Step 1: First, open the Cisco packet tracer desktop and select the devices given below:

S.NO	Device	Model-Name
1.	PC	PC
2.	switch	PT-switch

IP Addressing Table

S.NO	Device	IPv4 Address	Subnet Mask
1.	pc0	192.168.0.1	255.255.255.0
2.	pc1	192.168.0.2	255.255.255.0
3.	pc2	192.168.0.3	255.255.255.0
4.	pc3	192.168.0.4	255.255.255.0
5.	pc4	192.168.0.5	255.255.255.0
6.	pc5	192.168.0.6	255.255.255.0

Then, create a network topology as shown below the image.
Use an Automatic connecting cable to connect the devices with others.

Step 2: Configure the PCs (hosts) with IPv4 address and Subnet Mask according to the IP addressing table given above.

To assign an IP address in PC0, click on PC0.
Then, go to desktop and then IP configuration and there you will IPv4 configuration.
Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.

Assigning an IP address using the ipconfig command, or we can also assign an IP address with the help of a command.
Go to the command terminal of the PC.
Then, type ipconfig <IPv4 address><subnet mask><default gateway>(if needed)

Example: ipconfig 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

Repeat the same procedure with other PCs to configure them thoroughly.

Step 3: Verify the connection by pinging the IP address of any host in PC0.

Use the ping command to verify the connection.
We will check if we are getting any replies or not.
As we can see, we are getting replies from a targeted node on both PCs.
Hence the connection is verified.

ping <targeted node's IP address>

A simulation of the experiment is given below we have sent two PDU packets one targeted from PC0 to PC3 and another targeted from PC1 to PC5.

Implementation of Bus Topology in Cisco

A bus topology is a network in which nodes are directly linked with a common half-duplex link. A host on a bus topology is called a station. In a bus network, every station will accept all network packets, and these packets generated by each station have equal information priority. A bus network inc

Implementation of Ring Topology in Cisco

Ring topology is a kind of arrangement of the network in which every device is linked with two other devices. This makes a circular ring of interconnected devices which gives it its name. Data is usually transmitted in one direction along the ring, known as a unidirectional ring. The data is deliver

Implementation of Hybrid Topology in Cisco

The arrangement of a network that comprises nodes and connecting lines via sender and receiver is referred to as network topology. The combination of two or more topologies in a computer network is called Hybrid Topology. These combined topologies can be a combination of bus topology, mesh topology,

Implementing Star Topology using Cisco Packet Tracer

A star topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) is one in which each node is connected to a central connection point, such as a hub or switch. Whenever a node tries to connect with another node then the transmission of the message must be happening with the help of the central node. The best part of

Subnetting Implementation in Cisco Packet Tracer

A subnet, or subnetwork, is a part of a larger network. Subnets are a logical part of an IP network into multiple, smaller network components. The Internet Protocol (IP) is the method for transmitting data from one computer to another over the internet network. Each computer, or host, on the interne

Spanning Tree Topology (STP) Convergence

Once the Spanning Tree Topology (STP) is established, STP continues to work until some changes occurs. Manual changes that Network Engineer can apply are configuration of Bridge ID and port costs. Also there are other changes like the addition of switch or failure of port of an existing switch. The

Topology Changes in Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent loops in the network due to redundant connections between switches in the network. It determines an efficient path from non-root switches to root switches with the help of Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDUs). BPDU carries information regarding topology c

Role and Function of Network Components in Cisco

Computer networks are becoming more and more complex and the need for network connectivity is growing.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Tree Topology

Network topology is the systematic arrangement of the elements (such as links and nodes) within a communication network. A tree topology, or star-bus topology, is a hybrid network topology in which star networks are interconnected via bus networks. Tree networks are organized hierarchically, allowin
