CCNA 1 PacketTracer Case Study

Objective

The overall goal of this Packet Tracer Skill-based assessment is to have end–to–end connectivity between
the Network ABC to the Network XYZ. This skill based exam will consist of five tasks:

1) Build both LANs and WAN using PacketTracer.

2) Calculate the subnets for eight LANs and one WAN link.

3) Manually configure the workstations and Web Servers with the following:
 IP address
 Subnet mask
 Default gateway
 DNS Server address

4) Configure the routers and switches using only basic IOS configuration commands vial CLI.

5) Verify end to end connectivity between PCs and verify HTTP connectivity via DNS to the Web Server.

Scenario
This topology represents a small routed network, intended to prepare students, network
design, basic IP addressing and router configuration and local LAN connectivity.

Task One: Build the LAN Using PacketTracer. (Estimated Time: 30 minutes)

Steps:
 Add 8 end user devices
 Six PCs
 Two servers

 Add 10 Layer 2 devices

 Six 2960 catalyst switches
 Four 2950-T catalyst switches

 Add 2 Cisco Routers (layer 3)

 Specify a 2621 XM router (located under Custom devices) with four FastEthernet
interfaces.

Cable the Networks

 Use the appropriate cables to interconnect all devices.

Task 2: Subnet Calculation Estimated Time: 45 minutes

Task 3–PCs–Servers & Switch Configuration Estimated Time: 30 min

Directions
Using the results from Task 2, configure the IP address and subnet mask, default gateway as well
as the DNS server for each of the PC’s as well as the Servers. Use the DOS command prompt to
verify the IP configuration settings. Use the ping utility to demonstrate layer 3 connectivity between
the PCs on the same Ethernet segment.
Steps:
 To allow a Web page to be displayed on the Web Server, use the following code to
configure HTTP services on the Web Server:
<html><center><font size='+4' color='black'>Welcome to the CCNA 1 Packet
Tracer 5.4v7 Skills Exam </font></bold></center></html>
<html><center><font size='+3' color=’blue’>Webmaster:Your
Name</font></bold></center></html>
 Configure DNS services on the DNS server. Specify the domain name www.ccna.com
 Map the domain name www.ccna.com to the IP address of the web server
 To allow Telnet connectivity to the switches, configure each switch with an IP address.
