TASK 2.1: Connecting Network Devices

1. Using Packet Tracer, connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) using crossover cable.
2. Assign IP addresses to the PCs (use any IP addresses within a same network, such as 192.168.1.1
and 192.168.1.2)
3. Ping PC2 from PC1 and vice versa using the Command Prompt. To find the Command
Prompt, click on the PC icon, then click on the Desktop tab, and then click on the Command
Prompt icon. Is the Ping successful?
4. Repeat step 3 for the following connections:
a. Connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) using straight through cable.
b. Connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) through a switch using straight through cable.
c. Connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) through a switch using crossover cable.
d. Connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) through a hub using straight through cable.
e. Connect two PCs (PC1 and PC2) through a hub using crossover cable.
5. Record all your Ping response status.

TASK 2.2: IP Address Subnetting

Aims & Learning Objectives

 To allocate IP addresses for subnetting.

 To document the IP addresses allocation.

Tasks

1. Using the 192.168.1.0/24 address space, identify the IP addresses for subnetting purpose
according to the following requirements:

a. Subnet A
 Subnet the address space to accommodate 100 hosts.
 Assign the first useable IP address of Subnet A to the FastEthernet0/0 interface of
a router (R1).
 Assign the second useable IP address of Subnet A to PC1.
 Assign the last useable IP address of Subnet A to PC2.

b. Subnet B
 Subnet the remaining address space to accommodate 50 hosts.
 Assign the first useable IP address of Subnet B to the FastEthernet0/1 interface of
R1.
 Assign the second useable IP address of Subnet B to a printer.
 Assign the last useable IP address of Subnet B to a server.

2. Complete the following IP address table for the router and each end device in the created
network.

Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask CIDR Default

value Gateway
FastEthernet0/0 N/A
R1 FastEthernet0/1 N/A
PC1 NIC
PC2 NIC
Printer NIC
Server NIC

TASK 2.3: Network Setup

Aims & Learning Objectives

 To set up a network by connecting groups of devices.

 To appropriately name and label the network devices.
 To apply the previously designed IP address subnetting during network setup.
 To apply subnetting to the network.
 To connect the subnets with a router.

Lab Setup

 IP addresses setup for this lab is based on your completed IP address table from Task 2.2
– IP Address Subnetting.

Tasks

3. Using Packet Tracer, setup a network similar to the topology shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

4. Name each device in the network as shown in Figure 1 by changing its Display Name
and Hostname attribute. Device names are case‐sensitive.

5. Connect the devices as the following:

1. S1 FastEthernet0/1 to R1 FastEthernet0/0
2. S1 FastEthernet0/6 to PC1 FastEthernet0
3. S1 FastEthernet0/12 to PC2 FastEthernet0
4. S2 FastEthernet0/1 to R1 FastEthernet0/1
5. S2 FastEthernet0/6 to Laser FastEthernet0
6. S2 FastEthernet0/12 to Server FastEthernet0

6. Screenshot your network layout in Packet Tracer and paste it here:

7. In Packet Tracer, setup the IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway of PC1, PC2,
Laser and Server according to IP address table from Lab 6. Explain how/where do you
perform the setup in each of the end device:
a. PC1

b. PC2

c. Laser

d. Server

8. Ping the following to verify the connections. What is the Ping respond status?
a. PC2 from PC1 - successful or unsuccessful?
