This project simulates a real-world task where an IT support technician sets up network access for three new employees.
Each PC was assigned a static IP and tested to ensure it could reach:
- The local gateway
- A shared network printer
- A central file server
| Device | IP Address | Subnet Mask | Gateway | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PC5 | 192.168.10.9 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.10.1 | New user |
| PC6 | 192.168.10.10 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.10.1 | New user |
| PC7 | 192.168.10.11 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.10.1 | New user |
| Printer | 192.168.10.7 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.10.1 | Shared printing |
| Server | 192.168.10.8 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.10.1 | File sharing |
- All new PCs successfully pinged the router
- All new PCs confirmed connectivity to the printer and server
- Static IP configuration was used instead of DHCP
- Static IP setup
- Device-to-device testing using ping
- End-user setup and documentation
