Design of Simple and Complex Networks
using ConfigMaker Tool
Objectives:
In this experiment students will learn ConfigMaker software tool and use it to design
elementary and complex networks using different types of networking components e.g
hosts/servers, hubs, switches and routers/gateways. They will also learn how to provide
Internet connectivity to corporate network by different types of redundant links (e.g. ISDN
leased line, Frame Relay etc) with the configuration of Firewall protection on the gateway
router.
Introduction:
Cisco ConfigMaker is an easy-to-use Windows application that configures Cisco routers,
switches, hubs, and other devices. Using a graphical user interface (GUI), you draw your
network, and then Cisco ConfigMaker creates the Cisco IOS configuration files for the
devices on your network without requiring you to know the Cisco IOS command-line
interface (CLI). You can also use Cisco ConfigMaker as an off-line tool. Without having the
devices on-hand, you can draw and configure your entire network until you are ready to
deliver the configuration to them.
To start Cisco ConfigMaker, select Start>Programs>Cisco ConfigMaker V2.5.1 from the
Windows Start menu.
