Experiment 02:
Name of Experiment: Implement the different types of topology by
using cisco package tracker.
Objectives:
1.To study how to implement different types of topology by using cisco
package tracker.
2.To study how to configure of all this topology.
3.To study how to operate all this topology.
4.To study how to transfer all this topology.
5.To study how to assign IP and subnet mask in pc.
Background Study:Network topology is the interconnected pattern of
network elements. A network topology may be physical, mapping
hardware configuration, or logical, mapping the path that the data must
take in order to travel around
the network.
Different Types of topology
2.1.Bus topology
2.2.Star topology
2.3.Ring topology
2.4. Tree topology
2.5.Mesh topology
2.6.Hybrid topology
Now, I briefly discuss about all topology steps by steps.
Steps to Configure and Setup Topology in Cisco Packet Tracer :
Step 1: First, open the cisco packet tracer desktop and select the
devices like pc,switches,hub,router etc.
Step2:Then, create a network topology
Step 3: Configure the PCs (hosts) with IPv4 address and Subnet Mask
according to the IP addressing table given above.
To assign an IP address in all pc.
Then, go to desktop and then IP configuration and there you will
IPv4 configuration.
Fill IPv4 address and subnet mask.
2.1 Bus Topology:Bus topology is a type of network topology in which all
devices are connected to a single cable called a bus.
Operations of bus topology :In a bus topology, data transmitted by one
device is received by all others connected to the same network. This
means that when a device sends information, all other devices on the
network receive it simultaneously.

Simulation Result:
A simulation of the experiment is given below we have sent two PDU
packets one targeted from PC0 to PC2 .

2.1 Star Topology:A star topology, sometimes known as a star network,
is a network topology in which each device is connected to a central
hub.
Operation of star topology:The systems in a star topology do not
connect to each other, but instead pass messages to the central core
that, in turn, passes the message to either all other systems( when we
used hub) or the specific destination system(when we used switch)
depending on the network design.

Simulation result: The message transferred all devices from pc0 becausing of using
hub.

Simulation result: Pc1 sent message and pc5 only received message.

2.3.Ring topology A ring topology is a network configuration where
device connections create a closed circular data path. Each networked
device is connected to two others, like points that form a circle.
Operations of ring topology :In a ring network, the token travels from
one node to the next until it reaches its destination. Most ring topologies
allow packets to travel only in one direction, called a unidirectional ring
network. Others permit data to move in either
direction, which is called bidirectional.

Simulation result: successfully message pass from pc4 to pc6 for one
time only.

2.4. Tree topology: In networking, tree topology is a structure where
devices are connected hierarchically. It resembles a tree with a root
node and various branches. The root node is connected to multiple
levels of child nodes, forming a hierarchy.
Operations of three topology :In this setup, the root node serves as the
central hub, often connected to a main network or server. Each child
node can further branch out to more child nodes, creating multiple
levels. This branching allows data to flow from one node to another in a
controlled path.

2.5.Mesh topology: A mesh topology is a network setup where each
computer and network device is interconnected with one another. This
topology setup allows most transmissions to be distributed even if one
of the connections goes down.
