MARIA ASIF (027) 5 Lab

This document contains a lab assignment on activating services in a local area network (LAN) environment and working with protocol data units (PDUs) in Packet Tracer. The lab objectives are to activate file transfer protocol (FTP) and hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) services on a server in the LAN and view the PDU list window. The lab tasks include designing a network with two PCs and a server, assigning IP addresses, enabling the FTP and HTTP services on the server, adding an FTP user, and transferring a file between the PCs via the server to test connectivity. PDUs are defined as the data units specified in network layer protocols that contain control information and user data.

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from


one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on client-
server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the
server. FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in
the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to
allow it. For secure transmission that hides (encrypts) the username and password, and encrypts
the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS ("FTPS"). SSH File Transfer Protocol ("SFTP")
is sometimes also used instead, but is technologically different. The first FTP client applications
were command-line applications developed before operating systems had graphical user
interfaces, and are still shipped with most Windows, UNIX, and Linux operating systems.
Dozens of FTP clients and automation utilities have since been developed for desktops, servers,
mobile devices, and hardware, and FTP has been incorporated into hundreds of productivity
applications, such as Web page editors.
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed,
collaborative, hypermedia information systems. HTTP is the foundation of data communication
for the World Wide Web. Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks)
between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext. The
standards development of HTTP was coordinated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), culminating in the publication of a series
of Requests for Comments (RFCs), most notably RFC 2616 (June 1999), which defines
HTTP/1.1, the version of HTTP in common use.

In a layered system, Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is a unit of data which is specified in a protocol of
a given layer and which consists of protocol-control information and possibly user data of that
layer. For example: Bridge PDU or iSCSI PDU

 Then to transfer the file from pc2 to pc1, first connect the pc1 to server then get the file
‘pc2file’.

 Through ‘dir’ command, file sharing procedure success is confirmed.
