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.
2. 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 click on the Config tab

Select [Interface] GigabitEthernet0/0/0


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

Select GLOBAL > Settings:


• NVRAM: Click on Save

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

Save your packet tracer file. This file will be used later for other assignments.

Answer the follow questions using Moodle: "Quiz - Packet Tracer:


Creating an Ethernet LAN":

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?
