This document summarizes a student's lab assignment on configuring a switched Ethernet network using Cisco Packet Tracer. The student connected 4 PCs to an Ethernet switch and assigned each PC a unique IP address. The student verified connectivity by pinging each PC and observed the MAC addresses on the switch update as packets were transferred between the PCs. The configuration of the switched Ethernet was successful, demonstrating the ability of the switch to forward traffic between networked devices.

Configuration of a Switched Ethernet using CISCO packet tracer

Aim: -
The aim of the project is to prove the Configuration of a Switched Ethernet using CISCO packet
tracer.

Theory: -
Switched Ethernet is a type of network topology in which devices are connected to a switch,
which then forwards traffic between them. This allows for more efficient use of bandwidth
and improved security, as traffic is only forwarded to the devices that need to receive it.

Requirements: -
1. Personal computers (PCs): Four with network interfaces.
2. Ethernet switch: A network switch capable of supporting the desired number of
connections.
3. Ethernet cables: Sufficient Ethernet cables to connect each PC to the switch.
4. IP addressing: Assign unique IP addresses to each PC within the same IP subnet.

PC0: - 192.168.1.1 PC1: - 192.168.1.2

PC2: - 192.168.1.3 PC3: - 192.168.1.4

Procedure: -

1. Connect each PC to the switch using Ethernet cables. Plug one end of the cable into
the Ethernet port on the PC and the other end into an available port on the switch.
2. Ensure that each PC has a network interface enabled and functioning correctly.
3. Assign unique IP addresses to each PC within the same IP subnet. This can be done
manually or by configuring DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) on the
network.
4. Verify connectivity by pinging the IP addresses of the other PCs from each PC. Open
the command prompt or terminal on each PC and use the ping command followed by
the IP address of the destination PC.
5. If the pings are successful, communication between the PCs is established through the
switch.

The picture of connection along with IP addresses is shown below.


6) After connecting all the devices to the switch . Open the switch configuration and change
the switch name .

7) Next type the command show mac address-table . To see the mac address.
8) type the command delete to remove all the mac addresses.

9) After to get the mac address send the packets from one device to another so based on IP
the devices packets are transferred then the mac address are regained.

a) packet transfer from PC3 to PC2


Now type show mac address-table to see there mac address
b) Transfer of packets from PC 1 to PC0
Now type again show mac address-table we get all the mac address of all the systems

Design:

The physical design of the network would involve connecting the PCs and the switch using
Ethernet cables. The PCs are connected to the switch, and the switch acts as a central point
for data transmission between the PCs. The logical design involves assigning IP addresses to
each PC and configuring the network interfaces accordingly. By using switch configuration we
gat mac address for respective devices.

Result: -

The configuration of a Switched Ethernet using Cisco Packet Tracer was a success. The switch
was able to forward traffic between the two PCs, as evidenced by the successful pings. This
lab report has demonstrated the ability to configure a Switched Ethernet using Cisco Packet
Tracer. The switch was able to support two VLANs, which allowed for the separation of traffic
between the two PCs.
