CREATE A NETWORK USING PACKET TRACER

OBJECTIVES: 1. Build a network in the logical topology workspace 2. Configure the network devices 3. Test connectivity between network devices

ASSIGNMENT DISCUSSION 1 You have successfully installed Packet Tracer. Establish a peer-to-peer and client/server network using Cisco Packet Tracer that connect network devices. Check connectivity by using ping network test and send a message between devices. Show and explain in detail each step.

Guideline Assignment Discussion 1: 1. Peer to peer network i. Steps ii. Topology iii. Addressing Table 2. Client/server network i. Steps ii. Topology iii. Addressing Table

Assignment Discussion 2 COMPLETE the following steps by changing the first PC to [YOUR NAME] and screenshot the result for unicast and broadcast transmission. 1. From the network component box, click on End Devices and drag-and-drop a PC icon into the Workspace. Repeat step for another two PC. 2. Click on Network Devices and drag-and-drop a 2950T-24 Switch icon and a 2811 Router icon into the Workspace. 3. Click on Connections, then click on Copper Straight-through and connect all PCs and switch by selecting FastEthernet0. The link status LED should show up in green, indicating that the link is up. 4. Connect Switch and Router by selecting FastEthernet 0/4 and FastEthernet 0/0. 5. Click on the PC, go to the Desktop tab, click on IP Configuration, and enter an IP address and subnet mask.
