Step-by-Step Guide to Configure the Network Topology in Cisco Packet Tracer

This guide explains how to set up the network shown in your topology using static routing and the steps to
add ports to routers if needed.

Step 1: Create the Network Topology

1. Add Devices:

o Drag and drop:

 3 routers, 3 switches, and 6 PCs from the device list into the workspace.

2. Connect Devices:

o Use the Copper Straight-Through cable for:

 PCs to switches (e.g., PC0 to Switch0, PC3 to Switch1, etc.).

 Switches to routers (e.g., Switch0 to Router0's GigabitEthernet0/0).

o Use the Copper Cross-Over cable to connect the routers directly (e.g., Router0 to Router1,
Router1 to Router2).

Step 2: Add Ports to Routers (If Necessary)

1. Turn Off the Router:

o Click on the router in the workspace.

o Go to the Physical tab.

o Turn off the router by clicking the power button (a red button).

2. Add Modules:

o In the Physical tab, locate the list of available modules (on the left side of the window).

o Drag and drop the desired module (e.g., HWIC-2T for serial ports or GigabitEthernet
Module) into an empty slot on the router.

3. Turn the Router Back On:

o After adding the module, click the power button again to turn the router back on.

4. Verify New Ports:

o Go to the CLI or Config tab and check for new ports (e.g., GigabitEthernet0/2 or
Serial0/0/0).

Step 3: Assign IP Addresses to Router Interfaces

1. Enable Router Interfaces:

o Configure each interface with IP addresses as per the diagram:

 Example for Router0:

arduino
Copy code

Router> enable

Router# configure terminal

Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0

Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Router(config-if)# exit

Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/1

Router(config-if)# ip address 192.168.4.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Router(config-if)# exit

o Repeat similar steps for Router1 and Router2:

 Router1:

 GigabitEthernet0/0 → 192.168.4.2

 GigabitEthernet0/1 → 192.168.5.1

 Router2:

 GigabitEthernet0/0 → 192.168.5.2

 GigabitEthernet0/1 → 192.168.3.3

Step 4: Configure PCs with IP Addresses

1. Access PC Configuration:

o Click on a PC (e.g., PC0), go to the Desktop tab, and select IP Configuration.

o Assign the following:

 IP Address: As per the topology (e.g., PC0 → 192.168.1.2).

 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0.

 Default Gateway: IP of the router's connected interface (e.g., 192.168.1.1 for PC0).

2. Repeat this process for all PCs:

o PC1 → 192.168.1.3, Gateway → 192.168.1.1

o PC2 → 192.168.2.2, Gateway → 192.168.2.1

o PC3 → 192.168.2.3, Gateway → 192.168.2.1

o PC4 → 192.168.3.1, Gateway → 192.168.3.3

o PC5 → 192.168.3.2, Gateway → 192.168.3.3


Step 5: Configure Static Routing on Routers

Static routing allows devices from different subnets to communicate. Configure static routes on each router
as follows:

1. Static Routing on Router0:

arduino

Copy code

Router0> enable

Router0# configure terminal

Router0(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.2

Router0(config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.2

2. Static Routing on Router1:

arduino

Copy code

Router1> enable

Router1# configure terminal

Router1(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1

Router1(config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.2

3. Static Routing on Router2:

arduino

Copy code

Router2> enable

Router2# configure terminal

Router2(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.1

Router2(config)# ip route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.5.1

Step 6: Test Network Connectivity

1. Use the Ping Tool in Packet Tracer or the Command Prompt from the PCs to test connectivity
between devices in different subnets:

o Example: From PC0 (192.168.1.2), ping PC4 (192.168.3.1).

2. If the configuration is correct, the ping should be successful.

3. Use the show ip route command on routers to verify the routing table:

shell

Copy code

Router> show ip route


Final Notes:

 Save configurations on routers using the write memory command.

 Ensure all router interfaces and ports are in an active state (no shutdown command).

 Verify the correct module is added if more ports are needed.

This setup establishes full communication between all PCs in different subnets through static routing.
