In this Step 3 tutorial for Zero One Studio, we dive into the fundamental differences between Switching and Routing. You will learn how to properly cable your network and configure different IP addresses for devices connected directly to a router versus those on a local switch.
What you will learn:
Cabling Essentials: When to use Straight-Through vs. Crossover cables in Packet Tracer.
Switch Configuration: Connecting two PCs on the same subnet (e.g., 192.168.1.x).
Router Configuration: How to assign different IPs (e.g., 192.168.1.x and 10.0.0.x) to bridge separate networks.
Interface Setup: Activating Router ports and setting up Default Gateways.
