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.

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.

3
 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.

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.

R= Switch> enable
Switch#

d. The prompt changed from Switch> to Switch# which indicates privileged EXEC
mode. Enter global configuration mode.
R= Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#

4
e. The prompt changed to Switch(config)# to reflect global configuration mode. Give
the switch a name according to the Addressing Table.
R= Switch(config)# hostname S1

f. Enter local passwords. Use class as the privileged EXEC password and cisco as
the password for console access.
R= S1(config)# enable secret class
S1(config)# line con 0
S1(config-line)# password cisco
S1(config-line)# login
S1(config-line)# exit

g. Configure and enable the VLAN 1 interface according to the Addressing Table.
R= S1(config)# interface vlan 1
S1(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
S1(config-if)# no shutdown

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.
R= S1(config)# banner motd #Unauthorized access is strictly prohibited and prosecuted to
the full extent of the law.#
S1(config)# exit

i. Save the configuration to the startup file on non-volatile random access memory
(NVRAM).
R= S1# copy running-config startup-config
Destination filename [startup-config]? [Enter]
Building configuration…
[OK]
S1#

j. Display the current configuration.

R= S1# show running-config

k. Display the IOS version and other useful switch information.

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.

F0/1 Up Up Up Up

F0/6 Up Up Down Down

F0/18 Down Down Up Up

VLAN 1 Up Up Up Up

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?
R= The FastEthernet ports are up when cables are connected to the ports unless they were
manually shutdown by the administrators. Otherwise, the ports would be down.

What could prevent a ping from being sent between the PCs?
R= Wrong IP address, media disconnected, switch powered off or ports administratively down,
firewall.

Conclusiones
Me pareció una actividad sumamente interesante y representa una
versión simplificada de la forma en que podría verse una red de
pequeña o mediana empresa. Además de que puedo explorar mas
opciones y configuraciones de tantas que me ofrece el programa,
tuve la oportunidad de practicar la configuración de la topología de
red, configurar hosts en las PC y configurar y verificar los parámetros
básicos del switch.
