What configurations are used to set up a LAN

EXPERIMENT No-1.1

OBJECT: To analyse the performance of various configurations and protocols in LAN

Requirements
CISCO Packet Tracer Software
PC – 3
Switch – 1
Copper Straight-Trough LAN Cable

Procedure

  • Open the CISCO Packet tracer software
  • Drag and drop 3 PCs using End Device Icons on the left corner
  • Select Switch from switch icon list in the left bottom corner
  • Make the connections using Straight through Ethernet cables
  • Give IP address of the PC1, PC2 and PC3 as 192.168.10.1, 192.168.10.2 and 192.168.10.3
  • Respectively, ping between PCs and observe the transfer of data packets in real and simulation mode.

Description
A local area network (LAN) is a collection of devices connected together in one physical location, such as a building, office, or home. A LAN can be small or large, ranging from a home network with one user to an enterprise network with thousands of users and devices in an office or school.

The advantages of a LAN are the same as those for any group of devices networked together. The devices can use a single Internet connection, share files with one another, print to shared printers, and be accessed and even controlled by one another.
