Creating a Simple Network Simulation With Cisco Packet Tracer

SIMPLE NETWORK

PREPARATION

Preparation of a simple network installation in this example is to use two pieces of workstation and a switch. Each node is connected to the cable so that it looks in the picture below.

Workstation : The computers are connected to the network.

Switch  will we use to connect many computers that have a connection ports. There are 24 ports, 32 ports, and underneath  there.

Node : Each computer, printer or peripherals connected to the network.

Then configure the host IP address PC0  by double-clicking  the image PC0,  then click the Desktop tab and select the  IP Configuration menu.

Configure the workstation as follows :

On PC0 : IP Address: 192.168.100.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 (Default)
Gateway : -
DNS Server : -

On PC1 : IP Address: 192.168.100.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 (Default)
Gateway : -
DNS Server : -

To test  the connection between two nodes using the utility "ping".  To start a ping from PC0  to PC1, by double clicking on PC0 so it appears the properties window for PC0, then select the  Desktop tab,  then select the Command Prompt.

PC0 and PC1 workstations can be connected if the IP address of the workstation is configured properly. To test the connectivity between nodes can use the command "ping". The results of the ping command output there are many different kinds. Namely: Reply, Request Timed Out, and Destination Host Unreachable.

PEER TO PEER

PREPARATION
Preparation Peer to Peer Network installation in this example is to use 2 pcs Laptop. Laptop is connected with a crossover cable so that it looks in the picture below.

Then configure the host IP address Laptop0 by double-clicking the image Laptop0, then click the Desktop tab and select the IP Configuration menu.

Configure the workstation as follows :

On Laptop0 : IP Address: 192.168.10.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 (Default)
Gateway : -
DNS Server : -

On Laptop1 : IP Address: 192.168.10.2
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 (Default)
Gateway : -
DNS Server : -

To test  the connection between two nodes using the utility "ping".  To start a ping from Laptop0  to Laptop1, by double clicking on Laptop1 so it appears the properties window for Laptop1, then select the  Desktop tab,  then select the Command Prompt.

Laptop0 and Laptop1 Workstation can connect if the workstation IP address has been configured properly.

How To Disable The Autorun Functionality In Windows

The spread of viruses, spyware or malware through a lot of USB flash disk. Virus-infected flash disk when connected to a Computer or Laptop is set to autoplay  /   autorun is enable (default), then the Computer or Laptop will be contracting the virus, unless the computer already has the latest anti-virus updates are identified virus.

To further maintain the security of our PC or laptop from malware attacks that caused flash disk / external HDD infected with the virus, we better turn off auto run in windows. 

Disable The Autorun In Windows XP Methods :

1. Click Start, click Run, type Gpedit.msc in the Open  box, and then click OK.
2. Under Computer Configuration, expand Administrative Templates, and then click System.
3. In the Settings pane, right-click Turn off Autoplay, and then click Properties.
4. Click Enabled, and then select All drives in the Turn off Autoplay box to disable Autorun on all drives.
5. Click OK to close the Turn off Autoplay Properties dialog box.
6. Restart the computer.

 Disable The Autorun In Windows 7 Methods :

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit  in the Open box, and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following entry in the registry : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer\NoDriveTypeAutorun
3. Right-click NoDriveTypeAutoRun, and then click Modify.
4. In the Value data box, type 0xFF to disable all types of drives. Or, to selectively disable specific drives, use a different value as described in the "How to selectively disable specific Autorun features" section.
5. Click OK, and then exit Registry Editor.
6. Restart the computer.

Cisco Packet Tracer Version 5.3.2

Cisco Packet Tracer is a fancy e-learning tools are made by Cisco that will simulate the workings of a network based on the topology and configuration imposed by the users exactly like the original. Version of the Cisco Packet Tracer software we use is version 5.3.2 as seen on the splash screen in the image above.

While the main display Cisco Packet Tracer Version 5.3.2 can be seen in the image as follows. To download Cisco Packet Tracer software, you can download on this page : http://www.packettracer.info/packet-tracer-5-3-2-download.html.

Installing Cisco Packet Tracer Methods :

Step 1
Double  click the Packet Tracer application.


Step 2
Then go to the "Welcome to the Packet Tracer  5.3.2 Setup Wizard" dialog box, then press next.
