CLO 2: Construct a simple LAN or WLAN in accordance to IEEE or TIA/EIA568-

A/B wiring standard and network troubleshooting using network
simulation or tools. (P4, PLO5)
PLO 5: Apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering
and IT tools to well-defined engineering problems, with an awareness
of the limitations.

such as IEEE or TIA/EIA-568-A/B during practical work session. (A3,
PLO8)
PLO 8: Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities
and norms of technician practice

OBJECTIVES
2
Upon completion the lab session, students should be able to:
a. Construct the IP address to workstation in the LAN connection.
b. Examine end to end connection connectivity using ping command.
c. Construct a DHCP server within a range of IP address.
d. Understand to develop a computer design for LAN using Packet Tracer
program.

3 THEORY
Providing IP addresses to clients is the most fundamental task performed by
a DHCP server. DHCP includes three different address allocation
mechanisms to provide flexibility when assigning IP addresses :

1. Manual Allocation : The administrator assigns a pre-allocated IP

address to the client and DHCP only communicates the IP address to
the device.
2. Automatic Allocation : DHCP automatically assigns a static IP
address permanently to a device, selecting it from a pool of available
addresses. There is no lease and the address is permanently
assigned to a device.
3. Dynamic Allocation : DHCP automatically dynamically assigns or
leases an IP address from a pool of addresses for a limited period of
time chosen by the server or until the client tells the DHCP server that
it no longer needs the address.

• Entering the www.tsrb.edu Domain Name
o Enter for the Domain Name www.tsrb.edu
o Enter for IP Address 172.16.0.20
o Click Add

• Entering the www.internal.com Domain Name

o Enter for the Domain Name www.internal.com
o Enter for IP Address 172.16.0.30
o Click Add
4. Configuring the www.tsrb.edu Web Server (Server 2)

Add a server.
Click a server
Then select Config

Global < select Settings:

• Change the Display Name to “Web Server: www.tsrb.edu”

• Gateway/DNS < Static
• Set the Gateway to 172.16.0.1

FastEthernet:
• IP Configuration < Static
• Set the IP address to 172.16.0.20
• Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0

DHCP:
• Set the Service to Off
DNS:
• Set the Service to Off

HTTP
• Set HTTP Service and HTTPS Service to ON.

• Change the sentence, “<hr>Welcome to Packet Tracer 5.0, the

best thing since..... Packet Tracer 4.0.” to “<hr> Welcome to
Tsrb's public web page!” You may add other information as
well. (you can change any sentences).

5. Configuring the www.internal.com Web Server (Server 3)

Add a server.
Click a server
Then select Config
Global < select Settings:

• Change the Display Name to “Web Server: www.internal.com”

• Gateway/DNS < Static
• Set the Gateway to 172.16.0.1

FastEthernet:

• Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0
 DHCP:
• Set the Service to Off

DNS:
• Set the Service to Off

HTTP
• Set HTTP Service and HTTPS Service to ON.

• Change the sentence, “<hr>Welcome to Packet Tracer 5.0, the

best thing since..... Packet Tracer 4.0.” to “<hr> This is the
corporate internal network!” You may add other information as
well.

6. Configure Two Client Computers using DHCP

Add two client computers.

Global Settings:
• Change the Display Names to “Dynamic 1” and to “Dynamic 2”
respectively
• Set the Gateway/DNS to DHCP

FastEthernet:
• Set the IP Configuration to DHCP

7. Configure One Client Computers using Static IP Addressing

Global Settings:
• Change the Display Name to “Static”
• Set the Gateway/DNS to Static
▪ Set Gateway to 172.16.0.1
▪ Set the DNS Server to 172.16.0.11

FastEthernet:
• Be sure the configuration is set to Static
• Set the IP address to 172.16.0.90
• Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0

8. Verify connectivity
• Ping (ICMP)

o From a client computer use the click Dynamic

1>Desktop>Command prompt >ping the other client computers
and the servers.
o From the Dynamic 1 client, C> ping 172.16.0.20
o The first one or two pings may fail, but you should receive a reply
on the later pings. This is due to the ping timing out while the ARP
process takes place (later).
 • Web Browser (HTTP)

o On the client computers use the click Dynamic 2>Desktop>Web

Browser, enter the URLs of the Web Servers www.tsrb.edu and
www.internal.com.
o You should see the web pages that you created on these servers.
