The document provides instructions for configuring a network on Cisco Packet Tracer in 6 steps: 1. Open the network topology and identify components like servers, routers, and end devices. 2. Complete cabling between network devices using the connections table. 3. Configure IP addresses on end devices using the address table. 4. Configure IP addresses on routers and switches using the address table and CLI or console cable. 5. Configure the default gateway using the address table or network topology. 6. Test connectivity by pinging the network address from end devices.

Task: How to configure a network on Packet Tracer.


Software: Packet tracer Software

Configure a Network on Cisco Packet Tracer


Step1: Open Network Topology.

Access your network and identify the components of your network, for example; Servers,
Routers, End Devices, etc.
Step2: Complete the cabling.
Access the cables section and connect completely and correctly the cables between the networks
in order to ensure connectivity between the devices in the network using the connections table
given.
Step 3: Configure the IP addresses on the end devices.
Configure the IP addresses on the end devices. Using the address table still, correctly and
completely configure the IP addresses on all end devices. This can be done by accessing the
desktop platform on each device and locating the IP configuration section. The reason for doing
this is to enable the devices be on the right network.
Step 4: Configure the IP addresses on your routers and switches.
After configuring the right IP addresses on the end devices, you will have to do the same on the
routers and switches also, using the address table. But this time in a different way because there's
no desktop platform on the routers and switches. You will have to access the configuration panel
on both devices and this can be done in two ways:

 Click on the device and open the Command Line Interface (CLI) and then type in the right
commands to configure the right addresses for the router using the addressing table.

 Use a console cable from an end device and connect it to the device you wish to configure and
access the terminal platform on the end device and it will take you to the device's Command Line
Interface and then type in the commands in other to configure the right addresses.
Step5: Configure the default gateway.
After configuring the IP addresses, you will need to configure the default gateway also. The
reason for this is so the end devices would know what network they are operating on. You can
find the default gateway either in the addressing table (if given) or in the network topology.
Step 6: Test connectivity

After configuring the addresses, you will have to test connectivity by opening a command prompt
window on the end devices and try pinging the address which the network operates on. If it gives
you a reply, it means your network was configured correctly.
