    Objectives
    Part 1: Set Up the Network Topology
    Part 2: Configure PC Hosts
    Part 3: Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings

    Background / Scenario
    In this Packet Tracer Physical Mode (PTPM) activity, you will build a simple network with two hosts and two
    switches. You will also configure basic settings including hostname, local passwords, and login banner. Use
    show commands to display the running configuration, IOS version, and interface status. Use the copy
    command to save device configurations.
    You will apply IP addressing for to the PCs and switches to enable communication between the devices. Use
    the ping utility to verify connectivity.

    Packet Tracer - Basic Switch and End Device Configuration - Physical Mode

    Instructions
    Part 1: Set Up the Network Topology
    Power on the PCs and cable the devices according to the topology. To select the correct port on a switch,
    right click and select Inspect Front. Use the Zoom tool, if necessary. Float your mouse over the ports to see
    the port numbers. Packet Tracer will score the correct cable and port connections.
    a. There are several switches, routers, and other devices on the Shelf. Click and drag switches S1 and S2
    to the Rack. Click and drag two PCs to the Table.
    b. Power on the PCs.
    c. On the Cable Pegboard, click a Copper Cross-Over cable. Click the FastEthernet0/1 port on S1 and
    then click the FastEthernet0/1 port on S2 to connect them. You should see the cable connecting the two
    ports.
    d. On the Cable Pegboard, click a Copper Straight-Through cable. Click the FastEthernet0/6 port on S1
    and then click the FastEthernet0 port on PC-A to connect them.
    e. On the Cable Pegboard, click a Copper Straight-Through cable. Click the FastEthernet0/18 port on S2
    and then click the FastEthernet0 port on PC-B to connect them.
    f. Visually inspect network connections. Initially, when you connect devices to a switch port, the link lights
    will be amber. After a minute or so, the link lights will turn green.

    Part 2: Configure PC Hosts


    Configure static IP address information on the PCs according to the Addressing Table.
    a. Click PC-A > Desktop > IP Configuration. Enter the IP address for PC-A (192.168.1.10) and the subnet
    mask (255.255.255.0), as listed in the IP addressing table. You can leave default gateway blank at this
    time because there is no router attached to the network.
    b. Close the PC-A window.
    c. Repeat the previous steps to assign the IP address information for PC-B, as listed in the Addressing
    Table.
    d. Click PC-A > Desktop > Command Prompt. Use the ipconfig /all command at the prompt to verify
    settings.
    e. Enter ping 192.168.1.11 at the prompt to test the connectivity to PC-B. The ping should be successful, as
    shown in the following output. If the ping is not successful, check the configurations on both of the PCs
    and troubleshoot as necessary.
    Packet Tracer PC Command Line 1.0
    C:\> ping 192.168.1.11

    Pinging 192.168.1.11 with 32 bytes of data:

    Part 3: Configure and Verify Basic Switch Settings


    a. On the Cable Pegboard, click a Console cable. Connect the console cable between S1 and PC-A.
    b. Establish a console connection to the switch S1 from PC-A using the Packet Tracer generic Terminal
    program (PC-A > Desktop > Terminal). Press ENTER to get the Switch> prompt.
    c. You can access all switch commands in privileged EXEC mode. The privileged EXEC command set
    includes those commands contained in user EXEC mode, as well as the configure command through
    which access to the remaining command modes are gained. Enter privileged EXEC mode by entering the
    enable command.
    Open Configuration Window

    d. The prompt changed from Switch> to Switch# which indicates privileged EXEC mode. Enter global
    configuration mode.
    e. The prompt changed to Switch(config)# to reflect global configuration mode. Give the switch a name
    according to the Addressing Table.
    f. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as the password for
    console access.
    g. Configure and enable the VLAN 1 interface according to the Addressing Table.
    h. A login banner, known as the message of the day (MOTD) banner, should be configured to warn anyone
    accessing the switch that unauthorized access will not be tolerated. Configure an appropriate MOTD
    banner to warn about unauthorized access.
    i. Save the configuration to the startup file on non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM).
    j. Display the current configuration.
    k. Display the IOS version and other useful switch information.
    l. Display the status of the connected interfaces on the switch.
    Close Configuration Window.

    m. Repeat the previous steps to configure switch S2. Make sure the hostname is configured as S2.
    n. Record the interface status for the following interfaces.

    Interface S1 Status S1 Protocol S2 Status S2 Protocol

    F0/1 Up Up Up Up
    F0/6 Up Up Down Down
    F0/18 Down Down Up Up
    VLAN 1 Up Up Up Up
    Blank Line - no additional information

    o. From a PC, ping S1 and S2. The pings should be successful.


    p. From a switch, ping PC-A and PC-B. The pings should be successful.

    Reflection Question
    Why are some FastEthernet ports on the switches up while others are down?
    The FastEthernet ports are up unless they were manually shutdown by administrators.
    What could prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs?
    Wrong IP address, cables not connected, the switch being off or ports being down, and the firewall.
