PROCEDURES

A. SET UP A NETWORK TOPOLOGY

Step 1: Set up the network topology

1. Add two PCs, Printer and a Cisco 2950T switch.

2. Using straight-through cables, connect PC0 to interface Fa0/1 on Switch0 , PC1 to

interface Fa0/2 on Switch0 and Printer0 to interface Fa0/3 on Switch0.

3. Configure PC0 using the Config tab in the PC0 configuration window, select Fast Ethernet:
1. IP Address: 192.168.10.10
2. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

4. Configure PC1 using the Config tab in the PC1 configuration window, select Fast Ethernet:
1. IP Address: 192.168.10.11
2. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

5. Configure Printer0 using the Config tab in the printer configuration window, select Fast
Ethernet:
1. IP Address: 192.168.10.12
2. Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
