BASIC NETWORK SETUP
Lab 01 demonstrated how to build a basic Layer 2 network in Cisco Packet Tracer by connecting two PCs through a 2960 switch, assigning static IPv4 addresses within the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, verifying end-to-end connectivity using ping, and observing how the switch dynamically learns and maps MAC addresses to physical ports.

VLANs
Lab 02 demonstrated how to segment a Layer 2 network using VLANs on a Cisco 2960 switch by creating named VLANs 10 (Sales) and 20 (IT), assigning access ports, and verifying that intra-VLAN communication succeeds while inter-VLAN communication is blocked — confirming proper network isolation.
