Since no data transmitted on the network, the MAC address table on the SW will be empty. In the meantime, do not forget the MAC addresses of PC1 and PC2.
The IP address information on PC2 is as follows. For example, define an IP address block and add comments to the workspace.Īfter assigning IP addresses to VPCS computers, check the configuration with the show ip command at the command prompt.
Please follow the steps below to examine how a Switch works.įirst, run the GNS3 simulator software and create a new project.Īdd one Layer 2 Switch and two VPCS to the GNS3 workspace. And before pinging, we will perform the packet analysis using the Wireshark program to connect the PC1 and Layer 2 Switch. After making a small network topology using the GNS3 program, we will Ping the PC2 to PC2.
