Discussion:

In this experiment, at first, Packet Tracer is used to simulate a computer network with four computers, two switches, and two routers. A router is a computer networking device that buffers and forwards data packets across an internetwork toward their destinations, through a process known as routing. A router acts as a junction between two or more networks to buffer and transfer data packets among them. A router is different from a switch. A router works on layer 3 of OSI model, while a switch works on layer 2. For all PCs, DHCP was enabled.

DHCP : Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses to devices on a network. With dynamic addressing, a device can have a different IP address every time it connects to the network. DHCP also supports a mix of static and dynamic IP addresses. Normally the DHCP server provides the client with at least this basic information:

IP Address

Subnet Mask

Default Gateway

RIP : Routing Information Protocol is an interior gateway protocol that uses a distance-vector algorithm to determine the best route to a destination, using the hop count as the metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15.

OSPF : Open Short Path First is a routing protocol.Its use link state routing protocol.

EIGRP : Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol is an advanced vector routing protocol.That is use on a computer network to help automate routing decision configuration.

Conclusion :

This experiment gives us a hand on experience of using Packet Tracer for simulating a computer network and sending PDU from one network’s PC to another network’s PC.
