Configure VLANS in Cisco packet tracer

VLAN is a group of devices on one or more LANs that are configured to communicate as if they were attached to the same wire, when in fact they are located on a number of different LAN segments. Because VLANs are based on logical instead of physical connections, they are extremely flexible.

Basic commands used:

Ping : you can send ICMP request to destination and wait for response. 

enable: To enter privileged Exec mode or any other security level.

exit: to close an active terminal.

 Procedure:

1. Create a network diagram with 4 pcs.
• select end device option and drag two generic pcs in to the work space.
• click on the pcs and configure the IP Address of them.
• for ex : pc1 : IP =192.100.162.10
2. Connect all the pcs using copper straight wire to the switch. as shown in the figure in fast ethernet port.
   
   
   
3. Configure the switch using the following caomnds in cci.
• router> en
• # config t
• (config)# int fa 0/1
• (config -if) vlan 2
• (config -vlan)#exit
• (config)# int fa 0/3
• (config -if) vlan 3
• (config -vlan)#exit
• similarly configure other connections.
4. Now go to command prompt and use ping IP address to trace the packets.
