In the bottom left of the Cisco interface under the Switch tab we can select any model from those given models of Switches. We will be using Switch because it is more intelligent device than HUB. HUB and Switch are two devices for solving this purpose we know the difference between HUB and Switch that we have learned in the theory class therefore let not discuss that now. We know that computer by default has single network interface port so if it is needed to connect more than two computers in a network then we need a medium through which we can connect all the computers together in order to share information among those. We will drag and drop some computers on the white area of the interface to create a LAN setup. We can find computers under the End Device tab that is at the bottom left corner of the application interface.

In previous class we have connected two computers with a cross cable and tested the connectivity of those.įor creating the LAN setup we need some computers or laptops. Open the Cisco Packet Tracer Interface by double clicking on the icon
