1. TITLE OF THE LAB REPORT EXPERIMENT
SMTP and FTP are essential services used in networks for email communication and file transfer,
respectively. In this lab, we configured an SMTP server to enable email communication and an FTP server
to facilitate file transfers within the network. Both servers were installed on a Linux-based system to
demonstrate the configuration process.
2. OBJECTIVES/AIM
● To configure an FTP and SMTP server on a Cisco Packet Tracer.
● To learn about step-by-step configuration of FTP & SMTP Server using Cisco Packet
Tracer.
● Send messages using SMTP.
● To learn how to upload a file to the FTP Server.
● To learn how to rename and delete a file in an FTP server.
3. PROCEDURE / ANALYSIS / DESIGN
To write and execute an networking FTP & SMTP in Cisco Packet Tracer, we can follow these steps:
1. Create a new Cisco Packet Tracer topology.
2. Add a router and two switches to the topology.
3. Connect the router and the two switches together.
4. Add a PC to each switch.
5. Configure the router and the two switches with basic IP addresses and subnet masks.
6. Install and configure an FTP server on one of the PCs.7. Install and configure an SMTP server on the
other PC.
8. Test the FTP and SMTP servers to make sure they are working properly. 4.

6. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The successful configuration of both the SMTP and FTP servers demonstrated that network services could
be set up and used for communication and file transfers within the network. The proper configuration of these
services is crucial for network functionality and security.
The choice of server software and configurations may vary based on specific requirements and security
considerations. Additionally, securing both SMTP and FTP services is essential to protect sensitive data and
prevent unauthorized access.
7. Conclusion :
This lab report has detailed the step-by-step configuration of SMTP and FTP servers in a network
environment. Both servers were successfully set up and tested for sending/receiving emails and file transfers.
This configuration is essential for a network to facilitate communication and data sharing.
