Packet Tracer: Creating an Ethernet LAN

Objective

Using Packet Tracer 8, create an Ethernet LAN including wired and wireless end
devices, Ethernet switches and a home router. Show how all devices on this LAN can
communicate using the ping utility.

Tasks

1. Create the topology

Create the topology shown above using the following devices:


 4 PCs
 2 Ethernet switches (3560)
 1 Router (4331)

Connect the devices using the interfaces shown in the topology and the proper cables.
Sw1 Sw2
R1

2. Configure Router and Switch

Step 1: Configure R1,Sw1 and Sw2 with a hostname.


a. Click Sw1 and then click the CLI tab.
b. Enter the correct command to configure the hostname as Sw1. Do the same configuration for
SW2 and R1

Step 2: Configure the console and encrypted privileged EXEC mode passwords for
R1, Sw1 and Sw2.
1. Use cisco for the console password.
2. Use class for the privileged EXEC mode password.
Step 3: Verify the password configurations for Sw1.
Question:

How can you verify that both passwords were configured correctly?
Type your answers here.
After you exit user EXEC mode, the switch will prompt you for a password to access the
console interface and will prompt you a second time when accessing the privileged EXEC
mode. You can also use the show run command to view the passwords.

Step 4: Configure an MOTD banner.


Use an appropriate banner text to warn unauthorized access. The following text is an example:
Authorized access only. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Step 5: Save the configuration file to NVRAM.


Question:

Which command do you issue to accomplish this step?


Type your answers here.
Sw1(config)# exit (or end)
Sw1# copy run start

3. Configure PCs

For each PC: Click on "Config" tab

Select [Interface] FastEthernet0 > IP Configuration


 Select "Static"
 IP Address: Enter appropriate IP address
 Subnet Mask: Enter appropriate subnet mask

Select [Global] Settings > Gateway/DNS IPv4


 Select "Static"
 Gateway: Enter appropriate IP address

4. Configure the Router

Select the Router and configure using the Command Line Interface (CLI)

Select [Interface] GigabitEthernet0/0/0


 IP Address: Enter appropriate IP address
 Subnet Mask: Enter appropriate subnet mask
 Port Status: Select On

Save the configuration in the NVRAM

5. Verify connectivity
Select the PC with the IP address 192.168.1.103 and click on the "Desktop" tab

Click on the "Command Prompt"


 Type: ipconfig
 At the prompt type in the following commands:
ping 192.168.1.1
ping 192.168.1.100
ping 192.168.1.101
ping 192.168.1.102
ping 192.168.1.103
 Although there may be some "Request timeout", you should receive at
least one "Reply from …" for each ping command.

6. Save Packet Tracer File

Answer the follow questions:

1. What type of cable was used to connect PCs to the Ethernet switch?

2. What type of cable was used to interconnect the two switches?

3. The PCs are all using the same default gateway address. This is the IP address
of what device?

4. The PCs and Router all have a similar IPv4 address. Which answer shows the
largest (most) part of their individual IPv4 address that they all have in common? 

5. Do the PCs and Home Router all have the same subnet mask?
