Cisco Packet Tracer Networking 1 Router, 2 Switch & 4 PC
To create a basic network using Cisco Packet Tracer with one router, two switches, and four PCs, you can follow these steps:
Open Cisco Packet Tracer and create a new network topology.
Drag a router, two switches, and four PCs onto the workspace.
Connect one end of a straight-through Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet ports on the router and the other end to the first switch.
Connect one end of another straight-through Ethernet cable to another Ethernet port on the router and the other end to the second switch.
Connect two straight-through Ethernet cables from the first switch to two of the PCs.
Connect two more straight-through Ethernet cables from the second switch to the other two PCs.
Power on all devices.
Configure IP addresses and default gateways for each PC.
Configure the router with appropriate IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateway.
Configure the switches with appropriate VLANs.
Test connectivity between the devices.
These are the basic steps to create a simple network with one router, two switches, and four PCs in Cisco Packet Tracer. You can customize the network further by adding additional devices, configuring routing protocols, and implementing security features as needed.
