OBJECTIVE
Students will understand working of network devices
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Packet Tracer
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
Processor – Any suitable Processor e.g. Celeron
Main Memory - 128 MB RAM
Hard Disk – minimum 20 GB IDE Hard Disk
Removable Drives – 1.44 MB Floppy Disk

Steps included:
1. Attach required devices (Hub/Switch/Router) in the packet
tracer software.
2. Assign IP address to devices.
3. Select source and destination and drop packet from source
to destination.
4. Go to Simulation mode and click capture/Play.
5. Simulation will start and packet will only be accepted by destination.
Ring Topology:
Bus Topology:
Star Topology:
Star topology is a type of network topology in which every device in the network is
individually connected to a central node, known as the switch or hub. When
represented visually, this topology resembles a star which gives it its name.
