Summary

In this lab we set up the IP addresses and gateways to pcs and a multilayer switch in Ciscos Packet Tracer and used simulation mode and pinged PC0 to PC1 and followed to steps the packet went through.

Lab Questions

How do you set the gateway address on a workstation in Packet Tracer?

First, you click on the workstation and click on the tab called "Config" and then click on "Settings" under General and put in the Default gateway

How do you set the IP and subnet mask on different interfaces of a multilayer switch?

First, you click on the multilayer switch, click on "Config" and go down to interface where you will see a list of ports, you click on that port and enter your IP and subnet mask

How do you enter simulation mode in Packet Tracer?

Simply click on the button "Simulation" on the bottom right corner

How do you set which types of packets you want to see in Simulation Mode?

After clicking on simulation mode, you will see an even list on the right side of your screen, at the bottom of that window, you can select "Show All/None" or "Edit Filters" which from there will let you pick which packets you want to see in simulation mode.

Issues while doing lab

I had a few issues doing this lab. At first, I was putting the IP in the default gateway tab and didn't realize, I emailed professor and after he pointed it out I fixed the issue and everything worked fine. My other issue was when using simulation mode, after I pinged A pc, and followed the steps it took, I examined one of the events to answer a question for the lab and I the mac addresses matched for the input and output and realized I had clicked on the wrong event. Other than that, everything went smoothly.
