Networking Basics with Packet Tracer

Packet Tracer is a network simulation program that allows users to design, configure, and test computer networks virtually. It provides a simplified simulation of networking devices and protocols to help students learn CCNA-level networking skills without physical equipment. Packet Tracer addresses the digital divide by making networking education accessible to students without physical network access. Experiment 1 demonstrates connecting a PC to a server to test connectivity using ping and run HTTP and FTP servers. Experiment 2 adds a wireless router and DNS server to resolve the domain name eul.edu.tr to the server's IP address.

Computer Networks Tutorial 1

Software Package: Cisco Packet Tracer

Version: 6.0.1.0011

Packet Tracer is a medium fidelity, network-capable, simulation-based learning environment


for networking novices to design, configure, and troubleshoot computer networks at a CCNA-
level of complexity. Packet Tracer is an integrated simulation, visualization, collaboration,
and assessment environment. Packet Tracer supports student and instructor creation of
simulations, visualizations, and animations of networking phenomena. Like any simulation,
Packet Tracer relies on a simplified model of networking devices and protocols. Real
computer networks, experienced both in-person/hands-on and remotely, remain the
benchmark for understanding network behavior and developing networking skills. Packet
Tracer was created to help address the Digital Divide in networking education, where many
students and teachers lack access to equipment, bandwidth, and interactive modes of learning
networking. We invite you to use the help files and tutorials to learn about the major features
of the program, which include the items in the following table.

Experiment 1: connecting a PC client and a Server. Testing connectivity with Ping and
running HTTP and FTP servers
