TFTP Packets Capturing
while Configuring CISCO
Routers
Fall
2016
Objectives
Learning GNS3 Graphical Network Simulator Software.
Learning Wireshark Packet Analysis Tool.
Examining the TCP/IP Protocol Architecture.
Analysis TFTP formatting, examine key features of the protocol: syntax,
sematic and timing.
Using Solarwinds to build a TFTP server.
Cisco Systems is an American company that design and
implement network devices
Router: is a network device which is primarily used to
forward input data packets between computer networks in
order to reach the destination.
Router is a microprocessor based device and have
networking operating system installed on it.
The routing algorithms are based on the graph theory and we
will study some of them in details in the software engineering
subject during this semester.
- It is software developed by CISCO to simulate a fully working
computer network and utilizing a program that is called
dynamips to emulate the CISCO routers internetworking
operating system [CISCO-IOS].
- You are familiar with the VMware which allow you to run
another operating system on the host operating system without
actually installing it.
GNS3 is similar in the idea but it allows you to run CISCO
internetworking operating system on a virtual networking
system.
-The core part of the GNS3 is the Dynamips which is an emulator
program written to emulate CISCO routers
Steps:
1- Open GNS3 as a local server
2- Add binary file [IOS] for router [C2691]
3- Drag and drop the router to the working area
4- Drag and drop the cloud for the working area
5- Add a new Microsoft KM-TEST loopback Ethernet card
6- Add a link between the router and the cloud
