| 3.4.2 | Lab: Building a simple network

| Lab Activity
| In this lab you will build a very simple network. It will present many of the same issues that you would encounter if you were to build a larger network, or even a whole Internet.

The purpose of this lab is to build a simple work group. You will first connect two PCs as shown in the Figure . Then, as shown in Figure you connect four hosts to a hub, which will provide connectivity between four hosts. Lastly, you will configure the hosts with approved IP addresses, and a Layer 1 connection to the school's network cloud (which is connected to the district's ISP). Your lab will be complete when you connect the hosts to the Internet as shown in Figure .
