How to make a server have internet in Cisco Packet Tracer easily?

 

[Rathore]

In Cisco Packet Tracer, connect the server through the router and assign the correct IP address. Enable DNS and gateway settings. This will give the server internet access. This process is done in simple and easy steps.

To make a server have internet in Cisco Packet Tracer easily:

1. Place a server, router, switch, and PCs.
2. Connect them with proper cables.
3. Assign IP addresses to server, PCs, and router interfaces.
4. Set the server’s default gateway as the router’s LAN IP.
5. On the router, configure NAT and add a connection to the Cloud/ISP with a valid public IP.
6. Test connectivity using ping or web browser from the server.

To give a server internet in Cisco Packet Tracer, connect it to a router using a switch, assign the server a proper IP, subnet, and default gateway, then configure the router with a simulated internet connection using a cloud device.

To provide internet access to a server in Cisco Packet Tracer:

• Add a router and a server to the workstation.
• Use a copper straight through cable to connect the server to the router.
• On the router set an IP address on the interface it is connected to (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and turn it on.
• Change the IP of the server on the server to be within the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.2) and change the default gateway to the router IP.
• You can add a DNS server in the settings of a server in which you would like to have domain name resolution.
• Ping connectivity (e.g. ping the router, then an external IP when simulating the internet).

This forms bare bone internet access by the router in Packet Tracer.
