We have 8 Cables we can click on. Cable 2 is too long, at 103 meters. Cable 5, which is a crossover cable, has a break. All other cables are physically fine. However there seems to be a few incorrect VLAN assignments VLAN assignments Cable 1 seems fine. Going from server to switch. VLAN 2 is correct. Cable 2 Going from Marketing to Switch. VLAN 3 is correct Cable 3. Going from HR to Switch. VLAN 2 is correct Cable 4. Going from HR to Switch. VLAN is Wrong. Should be VLAN 2 for HR. Cable 5. Going from Switch to Switch. VLAN 1 is correct Cable 6. Going from Admin to Switch. VLAN 4 is correct Cable 7. Going from Admin to Switch. VALN is Wrong. Should be VLAN 4 for Admin Cable 8. Going from Printer to Switch, VLAN is wrong. Should be VLAN 11 for Printers You can seemingly click on PC1 to PC 5. Maybe there’s other problems, I just cannot see from here. Look at the IP addresses. Subnet masks, default gateways etc.. carefully. If you even can! From what we can see all the IP addresses seem Ok.

The IP address in the printer is incorrect. Should be 10.10.11.16/24. The Printer conriguration page shows 10.10.11.56/24

As there is an issue with Cable 4 that PC3 is connected to VLAN1 intsead of VLAN 2. So PC3 is not able to reach to the gateway so the problem with PC3 is bad gateway address and the solution is change the gateway address by changing the VLAN of PC3. I think the remediation is with Cable 5 as the cable are cross wired.
