Experiment Title
Static Routing Configuration using Cisco Packet Tracer
Objective
To design a simple Local Area Network (LAN) using a switch
To assign IP addresses to multiple PCs
To verify communication between devices using the ping command
Topology Description:
In this experiment, a star topology is created using:
1 Switch
4 PCs
Each PC is connected to the switch using copper straight-through cables.
IP Addressing Scheme:
R1 Network :
PC1 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
PC2 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
R2 Network :
PC3 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
PC4 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
R3 Network :
PC5 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
PC6 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
R4 Network :
PC7 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
PC8 → IP: [Link] | Subnet Mask: [Link]
Configuration Steps:
1. Placed all routers, switches, and PCs in Cisco Packet Tracer.
2. Connected devices using appropriate cables.
3. Assigned IP addresses to all router interfaces.
4. Enabled interfaces using no shutdown.
5. Configured static routes on each router to reach other networks.
6. Configured IP settings on all PCs.
7. Saved the configuration.
1. Adding Devices
Open Cisco Packet Tracer
Add 1 Switch and 8 PCs
Connect PCs to switch using cables
IP Configuration
Go to Desktop → IP Configuration
Assign IP Address and Subnet Mask

Connectivity Testing:
1. Intra-Network Test
Check connectivity within each LAN:
PC1 → PC2
ping [Link]
PC3 → PC4
ping [Link]
PC5 → PC6
ping [Link]
PC7 → PC8
ping [Link]
✔ Expected: Successful replies in all cases.
2. Inter-Network Test
Check connectivity between different networks:
PC1 → PC8
ping [Link]
PC2 → PC5
ping [Link]
PC3 → PC7
ping [Link]
PC8 → PC1
ping [Link]
✔ Expected: Successful replies with no packet loss.
Result:
All ping requests are successful
Communication between all PCs is established
Observations
All devices are connected through the switch
Since all PCs are in the same network, no router is required
The switch forwards data using MAC addresses
ICMP packets (ping) were successfully delivered
Conclusion
This experiment successfully demonstrates how multiple PCs can communicate within a
LAN using a switch. Proper IP addressing ensures seamless communication. The network
operated efficiently, and all connectivity tests were success
