Aim: To design a logical network with 3 PCs and a hub.


Requirements: CISCO Packet Tracer Software.
Procedure:
The bottom left-hand corner of the Packet Tracer screen displays the icons that represent device
categories or groups, such as Routers, Switches, or End Devices. Moving the cursor over the device
categories will show the name of the category in the box. To select a device, first select the device
category. Once the device category is selected, the options within that category appear in
the box next to the category listings. Select the device option that is required.
●​ Select End Devices from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Drag and drop 3 generic
PCs onto your design area.
●​ Select Hubs from the options in the bottom left-hand corner. Add a hub to your prototype
network by dragging it onto your design area.
●​ Select Connections from the bottom left-hand corner. Choose a copper straight-through cable
type. Click on the first host and assign the cable to the Fast Ethernet connector. Click on the
hub and select a connection port for PC0.
●​ Repeat step c for all three PCs.

Theory: Connecting Multiple Computers Using a Hub in Cisco Packet Tracer


Step 1: Open the Cisco Packet Tracer.
Step 2: On opening Cisco packet tracer, click on End devices from the bottom left icon menus, Add
four PCs and a hub to the screen of the simulator.

Step 3: Connect all PCs and the hub with copper straight cable by selecting it through the cable’s
menu from the bottom left menus in the simulator. A green signal in the wire shows they’re ready to
communicate.

Step 4: Now, we’ve to give a unique IP address to each PC. Click on each PC, go to the Desktop
section, and then click on IP configuration to give an IP address.

Step 5: Click on a PC, go to the Desktop, and then click on Command Prompt.

Step 6: After that, test the ping command in the command prompt to check the connectivity between
these PCs. For eg: ping 192.168.1.3

Output: (Pinging from PC0)


Result: If the ping command works successfully, then it means all these PCs are able to
communicate and share data between them, and we’ve built our network of four PCs and a Hub
successfully.

VIVA QUESTIONS:

1.​ What is a hub and how does it work?


2.​ How does a hub differ from a switch?
3.​ What is a logical network?
4.​ What is the purpose of assigning IP addresses in a network?
5.​ What is a subnet mask, and why is it used?
