Activity 1 (1.1.1)
This Packet Tracer Activity shows a complex network of routers with many different technologies. Be sure to view the activity in Simulation Mode so that you can see the traffic traveling from multiple sources to multiple destinations over various types of media. Please be patient as this complex topology may take some time to load.
Activity 2 (1.1.4)
Use this Packet Tracer Activity to experience setup mode and investigate the show running-configuration command.
Activity 3 (1.1.4)
Packet Tracer
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice selecting the correct cable to connect devices.
Activity 4 (1.1.5)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to explore using the Physical, Config, and CLI tabs for a router.
Activity 5 (1.1.5)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice basic router configuration and verification commands.
Activity 7 (1.3.2)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to learn how the IOS installs and removes directly connected routes.
Activity 8 (1.3.3)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to learn how the IOS installs and removes static routes.
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to learn how the IOS installs and removes dynamic routes.
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to investigate a fully-converged network with connected, static, and dynamic routing.
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to determine the best path using routing tables.
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to explore a routing table that is using equal cost load balancing.
Lab 1.5.1
Complete this lab if you need a solid review of device cabling, establishing a console connection, and command-line interface (CLI) basics. If you are comfortable with these skills, you can substitute Lab 1.5.2 Basic Router Configuration for this lab.
Use Packet Tracer Activity 1.5.1 to repeat a simulation of Lab 1.5.1. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment.
Lab 1.5.2
Complete this lab if you have solid skills in device cabling, establishing a console connection, and command-line interface (CLI) basics. If you need a review of these skills, you can substitute Lab 1.5.1 Cabling a Network and Basic Router Configuration for this lab.
Use Packet Tracer Activity 1.5.2 to repeat a simulation of Lab 1.5.2. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment.
Lab 1.5.3
This lab challenges your subnetting and configuration skills. Given an address space and network requirements, you are expected to design and implement an addressing scheme in a two-router topology.
Use Packet Tracer Activity 1.5.3 to repeat a simulation of Lab 1.5.3. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment.
Assignment: Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge
The Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge Activity for this chapter integrates all the knowledge and skills you acquired in previous courses and the first chapter of this course. In this activity, you build a network from the ground up. Starting with an addressing space and network requirements, you must implement a network design that satisfies the specifications.
