Task 1: Connect Devices
To successfully connect all of the devices, use the table below and the directions below:
Task 2: Addressing Table
Make use of the addressing table below.
Task 3: Basic Device Configuration
For RT1, SW1, SW2, and SW3
- Use a console connection to access each intermediary devices.
- Take note that to turn on the router and switches.
- Configure the hostname.
- Use cisco as the user EXEC password for all lines.
- Use the class as the encrypted privileged EXEC password.
- Encrypt all plaintext passwords.
- Configure addressing for all devices according to the Addressing Table.

Task 5: Check Connectivity of the Other PCs.
Take note that all PCs are configured based on the addressing table. All of the PCs should have connectivity to each other. Do not use ping, instead use simple PDU to verify end-to-end connectivity.
