What type of cable?

Question

Cisco

What cable according to the rules of Cisco Packet Tracer should connect the computer and the wireless router.? Direct connection passes, but does not count in the lab. Cable type is incorrect.

Answer 1

does not count in the lab

In what lab? Do you have labs in packet tracer? Try crossover (because a long time ago a computer and a router were connected with just such a cable).

Answer 2

1. Devices sending via 1.2 pins, receiving by 3.6 pins:
PC, router, wireless access point.
2. Devices that send 3.6 pins, receive 1.2 pins:
Switch, hub.
A straight cable connects those that send and receive on different pins, a crossover - on the contrary, those that are the same.
In your case, the router and the PC work on the same pins, so you need a crossover.
The link in your case nevertheless rose, tk. this router has auto-mdix, which automatically changes the pins to send-receive. This feature in packet-tracer is not available on all routers.
Ps: pins - meaning pins in the rj-45 port.

Ok then how is it? The dotted cable has a crossover that everyone recommends. DHCP enabled. A cable without a dotted line is straight. Everything is working. What did I miss?
