Activity 8 Summary

Today we learned about how basic networks are configured. We simulated this with Cisco Packet Tracer using two PCs,a switch, and a server. First, we set up all devices and then configured the IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateway. Next, we connected the PCs through the switch and the switch to the server using copper straight through cables Lastly, we used the command prompt with "ipconfig" to check that the configurations were accurate and "ping" to check that the devices were connected.
