• Discover how to use ping in command prompt

BACKGROUND / SCENARIO

In this learning activity file, you will study how to construct a simple network and
complete the configuration process of various network devices.

PROCEDURES:

Step 1: Open the Packet Tracer

Your screen should look like figure 1 shown below.

a. This will be shown in the Command Prompt

Figure 17. PC0 Command Prompt

b. Type the following command: ping 193.168.100.1 and press enter.

c. If you have done everything correctly, you should see the following output. reply
statement.
d. If the replies are not prompted, try redoing the server configuration.

6. Now, let’s configure PC1 to PC3.

a. Click on the Icon PC1

b. Click on the Desktop Tab
c. Click on the IP Configuration Icon.
d. Click on the IP Address Dialog Box.
e. Type in 193.168.100.3 as the address and press enter.

Note: Repeat the instruction starting form letter a to letter h, but for letter d, type in
193.168.100.4 for PC2 and for PC3, type in 193.168.100.5. Make sure that each node
has a different IP Address so that we will not encounter some error on the distribution
of an IP Addresses. Repeat also the ping instruction for PC1, PC2 and PC3. See
number 5, letter (a) to letter (e) instructions.

7. Now, click on PC0.

a. Click on the Desktop Tab.

c. Type 193.168.100.1 in the URL box

Figure 20. Web Browser URL Box

d. Click Go Button.

Note: You will notice that there is a display of information. This happens because the
web server feature is on by default in the server and PC0 just connected to the default
page.

e. Click on a link and use the front and back arrows to the move back and forth
through the pages.

Figure 21. Web Browser URL Box Display

f. When done, close the Web browser Tab and the PC0 window.

Note: Next is some basic configuration of network devices switch. Routers have the
same tabs as switches, so their interface works the same.
8. Click on Switch.

a. On your Switch0 Window Tab, click Config Tab.

Figure 22. Switch0 Window Config Tab

Note: Using Config Tab is not available on real networking equipment, but we need to
explain this tab for two reasons. There some simple devices that have Config Tab and
Config Tab can be useful for basic learning of commands especially for beginners. It
shows a list of components that can be configured on this device. Global Setting
permits a user to change the name of a device that displays in the workspace and
change the internal name shown at the Command Line Prompt as well as buttons for
saving, loading, exporting and erasing configuration files.

b. Double click in the Hostname Dialog Box highlighting the word Switch.

Figure 23. Host Name Switch

________________________________________________________________________
15
 IT 316L NETWORKING 1

c. Type Central and press enter.

Figure 24. Host Name Central

Note: Packet Tracer will display the IOS Commands necessary to accomplish the
name change in Equivalent IOS Commands Box. See Command display below:

Central>enable
Central#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Central(config)#

Note: This is the command that would be entered to do the same thing from the
Command Line Interface or CLI. The Config Tab will show the command to see how it
should be done in CLI.

d. Click on the FastEthernet0/1 label and you will bring up an Ethernet

interface to be configured. See figure 25 for details.

________________________________________________________________________
16
 IT 316L NETWORKING 1

Note: You will see that the Equivalent IOS Command Box shows a command of
“Interface FastEthernet0/1”. This command used to select the interface from the CLI.

Figure 25. FastEthernet0/1

e. Click the CLI Tab

Note: As you can see, same command in the Equivalent IOS Command Box are listed
in the CLI Window.

e.1 Look for “Central (config - if)# ”

Figure 26. CLI Window

e.2 Click on the display Command Prompt
e.3 Paste the word “Shutdown”, and press enter twice

Central>enable
Central#
Central#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Central(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Central(config-if)#
Central(config-if)#exit
Central(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Central(config-if)#Shutdown

Figure 27. CLI Window Command “Shutdown”

Note: This command just shut the node down from the Command Line. Notice that the
green lights in PC0 change to red and no longer active because the interface on the
switch was Shutdown.

This complete the learning activity and your screen should look like the illustration
below:

Note: If your workspace looks like figure 28, save the file using the filename format:
LA4Lastname.pkt

Example: LA4Verceles.pkt

• Take a selfie picture of your Final Output and Exit Packet Tracer.

Note: If the workspace does not look like figure 28 you might want to try the activity
again to practice.
