ROUTER :

A router is a device that analyses the contents of data packets transmitted within a network or to another network. Routers determine whether the source and destination are destination are on the same network or whether data must be transferred from one network type to another, which requires encapsulation the data packet with routing protocol header information for the new network type.
Routing is a process which is performed by layer 3 (or Network Layer) devices in order to deliver the packet by choosing an optimal path from one to another.

Advantages

  • No Routing overhead for router CPU which means a cheaper router can be used to do routing.
  • It adds security because the only administrator can allow routing to a particular network only.
  • No bandwidth usage between routers.

Disadvantages

  • For a large network, it is a hectic task for an administrator to manually add each router for the network in the routing table on each router.
  • The administrator should have good knowledge of the topology. If a new administrator comes, then he has to manually add each route.

CONFIGURING ROUTERS:

  • Connect the PCs with the switch through copper straight through cable by inserting into their Fast Ethernet port.
  • Then connect the switches with the router through copper straight through cable by inserting into their Gigabit Ethernet port.
  • Now, connect both the routers with serial DTE cable by inserting into their serial port.
  • Now, assign the IP Addresses, Subnet Masks and Default Gateway of the PCs and Router
  • TABLE FOR IP ADDRESSES, SUBNET MASKS AND DEFAULT GATEWAYS
  • Now go to the Command Prompt of the router and enter the command ‘no shut exit’.
  • Now write the commnad on the PC-0 as:

#ip route 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.2
  (Source) (Subnet Mask) (Next Hop)
  • Now write the same command for the PC-1 as:

  #ip route 192.168.3.1 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.2
  • Now you can send the packets from any PC to the other.

Packet Tracer Simulation – TCP and UDP Communications Part 1: Generate Network Traffic in Simulation Mode Step 1: Generate traffic to populate Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables.  Click MultiServer and click the Desktop tab > Command Prompt.  Enter the ping 192.168.1.255 command. This will take a few seconds as every device on the network responds to MultiServer.  Close the MultiServer window. Step 2: Generate web (HTTP) traffic.  Switch to Simulation mode.  Click HTTP Client and click the Desktop tab > Web Browser.  In the URL field, enter 192.168.1.254 and click Go. Envelopes (PDUs) will appear in the simulation window.  Minimize, but do not close, the HTTP Client configuration window. Step 3: Generate FTP traffic.  Click FTP Client and click the Desktop tab > Command Prompt.  Enter the ftp 192.168.1.254 command. PDUs will appear in the simulation window.  Minim...

Configuration of Static/Dynamic NAT in Cisco Router Static NAT (Network Address Translation) is one-to-one mapping of a private IP address to a public IP address. Static NAT (Network Address Translation) is useful when a network device inside a private network needs to be accessible from internet. In order to configure NAT we have to understand four basic terms; inside local, inside global, outside local and outside global. These terms define which address will be mapped with which address. Term : Description Inside Local IP Address : Before translation source IP address located inside the local network. Inside Global IP Address : After translation source IP address located outside the local network. Outside Global IP Address: Before translation destination IP address located outside the remote network. Outside Local IP Address : After translation destination IP address locat...
