You are a Network Engineer and you have been asked to set up a LAN Network for a library. You will
simulate this network using Cisco Packet Tracer software. Save the packet as YourName_CCP1/2/3

Step 1

Create a Local Area Network using Packet Tracer Software


● In the left hand corner select ‘End Devices’ and choose 8 PC’s
● Choose a Switch
● Choose a Server
● Connect all your PC’s to the Switch using a Straight Through Cable
● Choose FastEthernet at each PC and connect to the Switch (choose the next FastEthernet
port) for each connection
● Server to Switch is also a Straight Through Cable
● IP Addresses –
⮚ Label the Server – 192.168.1.254
⮚ Label the first PC – 192.168.1.101
⮚ Select the Server - go to Config – Interface – FastEthernet – (Make sure it is ‘On’ –
Static is selected) – IP Address: 192.168.1.254 – Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
⮚ Select the first PC - go to Config – Interface – IP Address: 192.168.1.101 - Subnet
Mask: 255.255.255.0
● Run tests (Ping) between the Client and the Server to test connectivity
⮚ Select the PC – go to Desktop – Command Prompt – Run a Ping Command
Ping 192.168.1.254
You should get a reply and your addressing is correct from the PC to the Server
Insert a screenshot of your results below

⮚ CONFIGURE AND LABEL the other 7 pcs with the next available IP addresses and
subnet masks in the same way you did the first pc
