Objective(s):
To understand the working of switches, router and routing tables.
Tool(s) used:
CISCO Packet Tracer
Switch:
A network switch is a computer networking device that connects devices together on a computer
network by using packet switching to receive, process, and forward data to the destination
device.
A network switch is a multiport network bridge that uses hardware addresses to process and
forward data at the data link layer (layer 2) of the OSI model. Some switches can also process
data at the network layer (layer 3) by additionally incorporating routing functionality that most
commonly uses IP addresses to perform packet forwarding; such switches are commonly known
as layer-3 switches or multilayer switches.
Task 1: Create a logical network diagram with four PCs and a switch. Ping the PCs to check the network
connection.
Task 2 : Write the routing table for the below topology.
