This document provides instructions for configuring a mail server on Cisco Packet Tracer. It involves setting up 4 PCs, a mail server, and a DNS server connected by a switch. IP addresses are assigned to each device on the same subnet. The mail server is configured with a domain name and SMTP/POP3 services enabled. Usernames and passwords are created. The DNS server is then configured with the same domain name and IP address as the mail server. Users are then able to send and receive emails between PCs using the mail server after setting up their mail client with the credentials created on the mail server.

Topic: Configuration of mail server on cisco packet tracer
1. In this tutorial we will learn how to set mail server on cisco packet tracer.
2. As you can see on below picture we have taken 4 PCs and 2 Servers (1 mail server
and 1 DNS server) 3. DNS stands for Domain Name System which will convert IPs
to Email address.

2. 4. We assign IPs to each PC and Server. It is required to keep IP in same network because here is
connected network by single switch. There is no layer 3 device and VLAN.
5. We assign IP to mail server 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0 and
192.168.2.2 255.255.255.0 to DNS server.
Rest next IPs to each connected PC (192.168.2.10 192.168.2.11 192.168.2.12 192.168.2.13 with
same subnet mask 255.255.255.0)
6. Let’s go ahead in mail server, set a domain name like gmail.com, yahoo.com, redifimail.com or it
can be as per your choice. Tick SMTP Service on and POP3 Service on. Create usernames and
passwords.

3. 7. Then we move to DNS server and select DNS service, tick the DNS service on. We provide same
domain name and IP which we put on mail server. After that click on add.

4. 8. Now we can login on PC Mail application with usernames and passwords which have been
created on mail server.

5. 9. Your mail account is ready to send and receive mails, like I type from ayon mail account Hi
jalal,what about u ? to jalal. Let’s see jalal received mail or not.

6. 10. jalal receive it,so the mail is send successfully.
So we have successfully configure a mail server
