Aim:
To analyze the performance of various configurations and protocols in LAN.
Establishing a Local Area Network (LAN):
The main objective is to set up a Local Area Network, concepts involved in this network are IP
addressing and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP). The required equipments are
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, Host A Host B Host C, Switch/HUB, three PC`s equipped
with at least oneNIC, one HUB or Switch and the necessary cables. Once the physical LAN is set
up the hosts need to be configured using the ifconfig command. To verify communication among
the machines the ping command is used. Next, to manipulate the routing tables at the hosts to
understand how machines know where to send packets. Since the ifconfig command places a
default route into the routing tables this route must be deleted. toblindfold the machine. The
ping command is used again to show that communication is no longer available. To re-establish
communication the routes are put back into the routing table one host at a time. Communication
is once again verified using the ping command.

Draw The Three PC using End Device Icons.
Draw The CISCO 24 Port Switch Using Switch icon lists.
Make The Connections using Straight-Through Ethernet Cables.
Enter The IP Address To Each Machine.
Check the IP address for Every PC using ipconfig or ifconfig Command.
Check The Connections using Ping Commands.

ARP Table For Switch :

ARP is Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping; if our switches are Layer 2 and pings are on the same
network, there is no arp cash on switches.
PING PC 1 - PC 2 :
ping command is a Network Utility Command. ping tools use Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP). ping used to verify the connection between source PC to Destination PC.
