Experiment # 8
Design of Simple Networks using CISCO ConfigMaker
Objectives:
In this experiment students will learn CISCO ConfigMaker software tool and use it to design
elementary networks using hosts, hubs, switches and routers.
Introduction:
Cisco ConfigMaker is an easy-to-use Windows 98/Me/NT/2000 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.
