In this lab, your task is to complete the following: Enable all of the necessary ports on each networking device that will allow the computers and the devices to communicate. Make sure you don't create a switching loop. Make sure that any ports that could create a switching loop are disabled.

enable the used ports in the router with their respective IP address and only the connected ports in the switch. Allow configure the STP on the switch

Explanation:

Network switches are used to connect a group of computer devices in a network LAN. It is automatically enabled when a port is connected and creates a MAC address table of the computers connected to it. STP or spanning-tree protocol is a protocol used to prevent looping in a switch. Unused ports can be disabled for security reasons.

A router is a network device that is used to forward packets between networks. All used ports in a router must be enabled and configured with an IP address and subnet mask.
