 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In the accomplishment of this micro-project successfully, many people have
best owned upon me their blessings and heart-privileged support. Primarily, I
would like to express a special thanks of gratitude to the Principal Sir of the
Government Polytechnic, Solapur for giving this golden opportunity with all the
required facilities for completing this micro-project of our group.
I would like to extend my gratitude to our (DCN) APARNA DUSSA
mam whose valuable guidance has been the ones that helped us patch this
project and make it full proof success. Their suggestions and instructions has
served as the major contributor towards the completion of the micro-project.
I would also like to thank my parents who have helped with their valuable
suggestions and provided the required resources needed for the micro-project.
Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow group members for their contributions
and suggestions in various phases in completing the project.

 ABSTRACT
In today's world, Networking have become extremely necessary for providing e-
mail, telnet, chat and others services. In these services, computer networks play
very important role to communicate, administrate, automat and process the
information from point to another points. Hence Computer networks considered
the basics of proper functionally in most of the companies and organizations. In
this paper, cisco pocket tracer is used as a network simulator tools to simulate
and design a network project of company. The paper discussed interconnection
between routers, switches and other components in data communication
network and how are programmed and configured.
The main purpose of Cisco Packet Tracer is to help students learn the principles
of networking with hands-on experience as well as develop Cisco technology
specific skills. Since the protocols are implemented in software only method,
this tool cannot replace the hardware Routers or Switches. Interestingly, this
tool does not only include Cisco products but also many more networking
devices.

companies and organizations. In this paper, cisco pocket tracer is used as a
network simulator tools to simulate and design a network project of company.
The paper discussed interconnection between routers, switches and other in
data communication .Computer network can be defined as a number of
computer systems and other computing hardware devices that linked together
for sharing information in form massage, files, data bases in organization that
may be in one building or spread over large campus [1] [2][3]. In addition to
that the networks decrease cost, time, effort and thereby increase productivity
[1][4]. Network connections devices are connected together by using any type
of communication media such as the copper coaxial cable, twisted pair cable,
fiber optic cable and wireless. While the network devices include Network
interface cards (NIC), Hubs, Switches, Bridges, Routers, Gateways and
Modems. Each one of these devices has various properties than others from
jobbing, security and application [1][5][6].
This paper is highlighted on the VLANs (Virtual Local Area Network) and VTP
(VLAN Tracking Protocol) switch as well as EIGRP (Enhanced Interior
Gateway Routing Protocol). VLAN is simply a subset of switch ports that are
formed to be in the same broadcast domain. Switch ports can be assembled into
different VLANs on a single switch and on multiple interconnected switches as
well. By creating multiple VLANs, the switches create multiple broadcast
domains. Whereas VTP allows you to add, delete, and rename VLANs on a
single switch and this information is then propagated to all other switches in the
VTP domain [4] EIGRP is a Cisco proprietary classless routing protocol that is
essentially an enhanced distance vector protocol.
Cisco Packet Tracer (CPT) is a multi-tasking network

ROUTING CONFIGURATION

6
In this network, a router and 2 PCs are used. Computers are connected with
routers using a copper straight-through cable. After forming the network, to
check network connectivity a simple PDU is transferred from PC0 to PC1. The
network simulation status is successful. From this network, it can be observed
that the router handles data transfers between multiple devices.
PROCEDURES:
Step-1(Configuring Router1):

1.Select the router and Open CLI.

2.Press ENTER to start configuring Router1.
3.Type enable to activate the privileged mode.
4.Type config t(configure terminal) to access the configuration menu.
communication interface of router
Step-2(Configuring PCs):

1.Assign IPHONE Addresses to every PC in the network.

2.Select the PC, Go to the desktop and select IP Configuration and assign an IP
address, Default gateway, Subnet Mask
Assign the default gateway of PC0 as 192.168.10.1.
Assign the default gateway of PC1 as 192.168.20.1.

Step-3(Connecting PCs with Router):

1.Connect FastEthernet0 port of PC0 with FastEthernet0/0 port of Router1

using .a copper straight-through cable.

2.Connect FastEthernet0 port of PC1 with FastEthernet0/1 port of Router1
using a copper straight-through cable.

CREATING A SIMPLE
NETWORK
Packet Tracer is a network simulation tool that allows us to create network

topologies by building virtual networking devices. Packet Tracer is highly
encouraged for network enthusiasts as it allows them to have keen in-depth
knowledge of networking. Let us see how to easily create a simple home
network using Packet Tracer

Step-1:
Open Packet Tracer and pick Home Router from Wireless Devices and place it

on the workspace

Step-2:
Place Smartphone, PC, Laptop from End Devices on Workspace.

step-3

Connect the pc to the home router by using Copper Cross-Over wire available
from Connections by configuring pc to FastEthernet0 and Home Router to
Gigabit Ethernet

step-4:
To connect Laptop to Home Router we need to update a pin in the laptop’s

configuration, to do this click on the laptop and turn of the laptop and find the

pin WPC300N and place it in the laptop.

FEATURE AND SCOPE

________________________________________

• Feature :

Unlimited devices

• E-learning

• Customize single/multi user activities

• Interactive Environment

• Visualizing Networks

• Real-time mode and Simulation mode

• Self-paced

• Supports majority of networking protocols

• International language support

• Cross platform compatibility

Packet Tracer offers an effective, interactive environment for

learning networking concepts and protocols. Most importantly,
Packet Tracer helps students and instructors create their own virtual
“network worlds” for exploration, experimentation, and explanation of
networking concepts and technologies.

CONCLUSION

12
The findings of this study conclude that there are various benefits and
advantages of using a packet tracer in learning basic and important concepts of
computer networks which can be difficult and challenging to understand
theoretically. Packet tracer has lot of features to create various scenario based
labs. Students are very much interested to learn computer networks and after
doing more practice on a packet tracer, they gain lot of confidence to work on
real-time networking devices. As a matter of fact, a student can’t afford to buy
real equipment, because of the cost and the chances of causing damage to the
real equipment, thus packet tracer is costeffective tool, which gives a feeling, as
if a student is working on a real-time project. It is an easy and user friendly tool
to understand various concepts of computer
networks.
