Computer Networking Lab Exercise 5

This document describes a laboratory exercise involving connecting 4 PCs to 2 switches and a router using Cisco Packet Tracer. The procedures involve assigning IP addresses to the PCs in 2 different networks, connecting the switches to the router, and configuring the router and PCs. The reflection discusses how the group successfully connected the devices by applying their knowledge from previous Cisco lessons, though they did not finish all procedures. Connecting computers to a switch requires proper cabling, network settings configuration, and following IP addressing protocols to establish a reliable and secure network connection.

Procedures
1. Take 4 PC’s each side will be connected to 2 switches 2950-24.

2. Connect all PCs with a copper straight through cable.


3. Assigning IP.
FROM TO
[Link] [Link]
[Link] [Link]
[Link] [Link]

4. Assigning IP to PCs in 1st network. Double click on PC.

5. Go to desktop tab and click IP configuration.


6. Insert IP of the 1st PC subnet will automatically generate and leave the gateway right now.

7. IP of 2nd PC.
8. IP of 3rd PC.

9. IP of 4th PC.
10. Assigning IPs to the PC’s in the 2nd network.
IP of the 1st PC – [Link]

IP of the 2nd PC – [Link]


IP of the 3rd PC – [Link]

IP of the 4th PC – [Link]


11. Network with one router. Connect one generic router. Connect it with Switch 0 from Fast
Ethernet 0/0. Connect it with Switch 1 from Fast Ethernet 1/0. With copper straight through
cable.

12. Configuring the Router. Router connected with the network one from Fast Ethernet 0/0.
Double click on router. Go to config tab. Click Fast Ethernet 0/0.
13. Insert IP of the class as the network. Insert the IP [Link]. Subnet will automatically
generate. Make sure the port status is ON.

Router is configured with network 1.


14. Insert gateway of all PCs in the network 1, the IP of the router through which they are
connected [Link].

15. Router connects with the network 2 from Fast Ethernet 1/0. Double click on router2. Go
to config tab. Click Fast Ethernet 1/0.
16. Insert IP of the class as the network 2 have. Insert the IP [Link]. Subnet will
automatically generate. Make sure port status on.

Router is configured with network 2.


17. Insert gateway of all PCs in network 2. The IP of router through which they are connected
to [Link].

18. Pinging. Go to the command prompt of any PC.


Ping any IP of the network.

Screen output using Ping command. Now, connection is stablished.


Reflection:
Today in our online meeting, we are assigned to do a laboratory activity wherein we will
connect PC’s to a switch and connecting it to a router using the Cisco Packet Tracer.
Throughout this laboratory activity, our group learned how to connecting different devices like
the PC, switch and router because unlike the first time we used Cisco, we only assigned to do
a peer-to-peer connection using PC. Although, we did not tackle thoroughly the said laboratory
activity but our group was confident that we can do it since we already have a background
using the Cisco Packet Tracer.
Connecting a computer to a switch using Cisco equipment can be a straightforward process,
but it's essential to follow proper procedures to ensure a reliable and secure network connection.
It's crucial to follow proper network security protocols when connecting your computer to a
switch using Cisco equipment, this includes configuring the IP address. In summary,
connecting a computer to a switch using Cisco equipment requires proper cable selection,
configuring network settings, and following IP addressing. By following these steps, you can
establish a reliable and secure network connection for your computer.
Regardless, we find it successful because we managed to do it in a small amount of time since
we already have an idea how we will do it. Overall, we are happy that we experienced doing
the connecting different devices available in Cisco and applying what we already know based
on the previous lessons and we are looking forward to do this kind of activity.
