Router, Switch and Access Point. They will be able to see the difference between them and how
they look in real life as a camera will be opened in the Physical to broadcast the session.
The second part is the Technical part where the lab assistant will connect he devices manually
and the students will create the configuration online.
Students will be divided into breakout rooms where each team will configure either a Switch or
an Access Point. The lab assistant will allow remote access to the PCs so the students will be
able to do the experiment. They will share their experience at the end.
The final experiment will be to monitor the network by connecting different devices such as PC
and phones.
