Smtp ,ftp ,http, email,dns web configuration with cisco packet tracer

 

This network topology consists of two subnetworks:

1. 192.168.1.0/24 Network:

   • Connected to Switch0.
   • Includes PC0 (192.168.1.2) and Laptop0 (192.168.1.3).

2. 192.168.2.0/24 Network:

   • Connected to Switch1.
   • Includes PC1 (192.168.2.3), Laptop1 (192.168.2.2), and Server0 (192.168.2.4).

The DNS, SMTP, and FTP services are hosted on Server0 (192.168.2.4). Below is a brief overview of configuring these services in Cisco Packet Tracer:

---

1. DNS Configuration

DNS translates domain names into IP addresses.

Steps:

• Go to the Server0 configuration.
• Select the Services tab.
• Enable the DNS service.
• Add records for the devices by mapping hostnames to their respective IP addresses. For example:
  • pc0 -> 192.168.1.2
  • laptop0 -> 192.168.1.3
  • pc1 -> 192.168.2.3
  • laptop1 -> 192.168.2.2

2. SMTP Configuration

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used to send emails.

Steps:

• On Server0, go to the Services tab.
• Enable the Email service.
• Configure a domain (e.g., example.com) and add user accounts for email clients. Example:
  • User1: user1@example.com with a password.
  • User2: user2@example.com with a password.

Client-Side Configuration:

• Configure email clients (e.g., PC0, Laptop0) to connect to the server's IP (192.168.2.4) as the SMTP and POP3 server.

3. FTP Configuration

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for file sharing.

Steps:

• On Server0, go to the Services tab.
• Enable the FTP service.
• Add user accounts for FTP access (username and password).
• Ensure devices like PC0 or Laptop1 are configured with an FTP client to connect to Server0 using the FTP service.

Connectivity Notes

• Make sure the Default Gateway for each subnetwork is configured correctly on the end devices.
  • For 192.168.1.0/24, the default gateway is 192.168.1.1.
  • For 192.168.2.0/24, the default gateway is 192.168.2.1.
• Ensure that routing is configured between the two subnets, allowing communication between clients and Server0.
