Packet Tracer 4.0 CCNA1 Hands-On Final
Objective
The overall goal of this skills-based assessment is to connect four PCs and 2 switches to create a small
Local Area Network (LAN) using Ethernet and have the PCs communicate utilizing IP protocols. The exam
consists of three parts:
1. Build the LAN
2. Calculate subnets
3. Configure workstations
All three parts must be completed for a possible total of 100 points.
Scenario
This topology represents the simplest possible switched network, ideal for studying basic IP
addressing and LAN connectivity.

PART ONE: BUILD THE LAN
Estimated Time: 10 minutes
Possible Score: 16 points
Objective
Determine the appropriate cable type to interconnect four PCs and 2 switches to create a small LAN
using Ethernet.
Steps:


Add 4 end user devices (PC0-PC3) to packet tracer.
Add 2 2950-24 switches (Switch0 and Switch1) to packet tracer.
On Switch0
 Connect Fa0/2 to PC0
 Connect Fa0/3 to PC1
On Switch1
 Connect Fa0/2 to PC2
 Connect Fa0/3 to PC3

Connect Switch0 and Switch1 via the Fa0/1 ports
Be sure to choose the appropriate cable type for all connections.

PART THREE: SUBNET CALCULATION
Estimated Time: 20 minutes
Possible Score: 36 points
Objective
Using the results from Part 2, configure the IP address and subnet mask for each of the four PCs.
Use the command prompt or run utility to display the IP configuration settings for each PC. Use the
ping command to demonstrate connectivity between the PCs.
Steps:




Configure PC0 with the first usable IP address within the host range used in Part two.
Configure PC1 with the second usable IP address within the host range used in Part two.
Configure PC2 with the second to last usable IP address within the host used defined in
Part two.
Configure PC3 with the last usable IP address within the host range used in Part two.
