Beginner-Friendly Guide to Setting Up a Simple Network in CiscoPacket Tracer
Step 1: Open Packet Tracer
Open Cisco Packet Tracer and start a new project using a blank workspace.

Step 2: Add Devices to the Workspace
For each office, add the following devices:
Office A: Two PCs, one switch
Office B: Two PCs, one switch
Add one router to connect both offices together. At the end of this step, you should have PC1, PC2, Switch A, PC3, PC4, Switch B, and one router.

Step 3: Connect the Devices Using Cables
Click on the Connections icon (lightning ⚡ bolt). Connect each PC to its office switch using a Copper Straight-Through cable. Connect each switch to the router using a Copper Straight-Through cable. Ensure all devices in the same office are connected to the same switch and that each PC uses a different switch port.

Step 4: Assign IP Addresses
Click on each PC, go to the Desktop tab, then IP Configuration. Office A IP settings:
PC1: IP 192.168.1.10, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1
PC2: IP 192.168.1.11, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.1
Office B IP settings:
PC3: IP 192.168.2.10, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.2.1
PC4: IP 192.168.2.11, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.2.1

Step 5: Configure the Router
Click on the router, open the CLI tab, and enter the following commands:
Enable
Configure terminal
Interface g0/0
IP address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
No shutdown
Exit
Interface g0/1
IP address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0
No shutdown
Exit

Step 6: Test Network Connectivity
Click on any PC, go to Desktop, then Command Prompt. Use the ping command to test communication between PCs. Successful replies confirm the network is working correctly.

THAT IS IT. EASY RIGHT? THAT'S WHY I AM HERE!👤
