PART 2: (10 marks)
Using NetSim, write a report on Cisco commands to set up the following network:
2 PCs (PC1 & PC2) are connected to a Switch A.
2 PCs (PC3 & PC4) are connected to Switch B.
1 PC is connected to a Hub A.
1 Server is connected to a Hub B
Switch A is connected to Router (R1) through Fast Ethernet interface.
Switch B is connected to Router (R2) through Fast Ethernet interface.
The Hub A is connected to Router (R3) through Fast Ethernet interface.
The Hub B is connected to Router (R4) through Fast Ethernet interface.
The four routers are connected to each other through serial interfaces.
1 PC (PC0) is used as a console and connected to R1 console port.
Assign an IP address to each of the PCs, and routers' interfaces.
a. Answer the following questions:
i. How many Broadcast domains, and how many collision domains are in
this network?
ii. What type of cables are used between the following devices:
1. PC1 and Switch A.
2. The Hub and R3.
3. PC0 and R1.
b. From PC0, go to Desktop tab, and then choose Terminal to access R1 through
the console port. From R1 prompt, ping all other PCs and the server to check
connectivity with each of them.
c. For each of the routers and switches, configure the following parameters:
i. Hostname.
ii. Description to all routers interfaces.
iii. Banners to Server and PC2
iv. All passwords (Enable, Secret, Console, Aux and vty).
