Mail Server 2025. Cisco Packet Tracer.pptx

Configuring a mail server in Cisco Packet Tracer involves several steps to enable email communication between devices within a simulated network.
1. Network Topology Setup:
Place a generic server, a switch, and multiple end devices (e.g., PCs) on the Packet Tracer workspace.
Connect the server and PCs to the switch using copper straight-through cables

1. Mail Server in Cisco Packet Tracer Objective: Learn how to configure and test a Mail Server using SMTP and POP3 protocols in Cisco Packet Tracer.

2. Network Overview Devices used: - 2 PCs (PC1 and PC2) - 1 Server - 1 Switch Goal: Allow email communication between PC1 and PC2 through the Mail Server.

3. Device Connection Setup Connect all devices using Copper Straight-Through cables. - PC1 → Switch - PC2 → Switch - Server → Switch

4. IP Address Configuration Device | IP Address | Subnet Mask | Gateway Server: 192.168.1.1 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.254 PC1: 192.168.1.2 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.254 PC2: 192.168.1.3 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.1.254

5. Configuring the Mail Server 1. Go to Server > Services. 2. Turn ON SMTP and POP3. 3. Add users: - [email protected] | 123 - [email protected] | 123

6. Configuring Email on PCs PC1: - [email protected] | POP3/SMTP: 192.168.1.1 | Pass: 123 PC2: - [email protected] | POP3/SMTP: 192.168.1.1 | Pass: 123

7. Testing Email Communication 1. On PC1: Compose → Send to [email protected] 2. On PC2: Click Receive. Email should appear successfully.

8. Verification and Ping Test Use command prompt: > ping 192.168.1.1 If successful, Mail Server is configured correctly.

9. Summary You learned how to: - Connect devices - Configure IPs - Set up Mail Server (SMTP/POP3) - Send/Receive emails
