Layer 2 Switch
To create a "media converter link" in Packet Tracer, engineers use a standard as a stand-in. Here’s how: Understanding the Media Converter in Cisco Packet Tracer
- The copper-based network device and the media converter should be connected and showing a "connected" status.
- The fiber-optic network device and the media converter should be connected and showing a "connected" status.
- You should be able to ping between devices on different networks.
Before building a link, locate the device: Drag the Media Converter device from the "Network
