Step 4:
Connect each device to the hub using a straight-through cable. To do this, click on the device, select
the "FastEthernet0" interface, and then click and drag the cable to the hub.

Step 5:
Once all devices are connected to the hub, select one of the devices and open the command prompt.

Step 6:
Type "ipconfig" to view the IP address of the device.

Step 7:
Repeat step 6 for all other devices to view their IP addresses.

Observe the packet transmission by looking at the "Activity" tab of the hub. You should see the
sender device send packets to the hub, which then forwards them to all other devices connected to
the hub.

Step 11:
Once the receiver device receives the packets, it will send a response back to the sender device.

Step 12:
Observe the packet transmission again in the hub's "Activity" tab.
