Looking for how to connect two PCs in a packet tracer? This guide will show you some seamless ways to do that. Depending on your network topology and goal, you could want to connect two PCs directly, through a switch, or through a hub, whichever way, the hack is knowing the correct cable type to […]

When dealing with multiple VLANs that span two or more switches, a trunk link comes in handy to segregate traffic for specific VLANs as it travels across the cables that connect one switch to another. A Trunk Link is established by configuring the trunk port on each of the switches attempting to form a trunk

In my previous post, I showed you how to configure a multilayer switch with the network topology shown above. In that post, I showed you the process of creating SVI, creating trunk links between the Layer 3 switch and each of the Layer 2 switches, and also the process of creating access ports on each

A Layer 3 switch, also known as a multilayer switch, is a type of switch that is capable of both routing and switching functions. Unlike the Layer 2 switch, the Layer 3 switch operates one layer higher in the OSI model, specifically at Layer 3. This distinction allows the Layer 3 switch to operate on
Unless you power on layer 3 switch; specifically 3650, you will not be able to configure it or even access the command line interface(CLI). In this post, I will show you how to power on Layer 3 switch in packet tracer; both the steps you need to take and a video demonstrations of the process

Layer 3 switches, also referred to as multilayer switches, are switch that can perform both routing and switching functions depending on the configuration. Layer 3 switches find many applications in networking; for instance, layer 3 switches can be used for intervlan routing, which is traditionally achieved using router on-a-stick configuration. Packet tracer and other new-generation

A serial connection is a type of point-to-point connection used for WAN connections. It is used to connect one router to another. As we know, a wide area network is a type of network that consists of one or more routers, resulting in multiple subnet networks within a specific network topology. In the real world,

Access control lists are a fundamental part of network security. It helps us control access to a server, host, or subnetwork within a network by defining rules that permit or deny certain traffic flows. In our previous article, we covered the extended named ACL configuration. This article will focus on the extended numbered ACL configuration

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a fundamental communication protocol that underlies many of our internet-based activities like web browsing, email, and file transfers. It is known for its reliability in ensuring data is sent and received accurately between host devices. In this article, we will give you an overview of TCP communication protocol and then

In our previous article, we introduced access control lists (ACLs) and went deep into standard numbered ACL configuration. Now, let’s take things a step further by diving into the extended named ACLs configuration, which offers more options to efficiently manage traffic within a network. This post is one of our series on ACL configuration. You
