Activity 1 (2.1.3)
Packet Tracer
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to build the topology that you will use for the rest of this chapter. You will add all the necessary devices and connect them with the correct cabling.
 
Activity 2 (2.2.3)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice configuring Ethernet interfaces. Follow the additional instructions provided in the activity to examine the ARP process in simulation mode.
 
Activity 3 (2.3.1)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice configuring Serial interfaces. You will also use debug ip routing to observe the routing table processes.
 
Activity 4 (2.3.2)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to test connectivity between directly connected devices.
 
Activity 5 (2.3.3)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to explore the features of the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). Practice enabling and disabling CDP - globally and on a per-interface basis. Investigate the power of using CDP to discover the topology of a network.
 
Activity 6 (2.3.4)
CDP show commands can be used to discover information about unknown devices in a network. CDP show commands display information about directly connected Cisco devices, including an IP address that can be used to reach the device. You can then telnet to the device and repeat the process until the entire network is mapped.
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to discover and map an unknown network using CDP and Telnet.
 
Activity 7 (2.5.3)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice removing static routes and reconfiguring static routes using the exit interface argument. Then verify the new configuration and test connectivity.
 
Activity 8 (2.6.2)
Packet Tracer
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to practice configuring summary routes and default routes. Then verify the new configuration by testing for connectivity.
 
Activity 9 (2.7.3)
Use the Packet Tracer Activity to see how the loop explained in this section can occur. In Simulation mode, watch as R2 and R3 loop a packet for 172.16.3.10 until the TTL field reaches zero. Then fix the problem and test for connectivity between PC1 and PC3.

Activity 10 (2.8.1)
Packet Tracer
In this lab activity, you will create a network like the one used in this chapter. You will cable the network and perform the initial router configurations required for connectivity. After completing the basic configuration, you will test connectivity between the devices on the network. You will then configure the static routes that are needed to allow communication between the hosts.
Use this Packet Tracer Activity to repeat a simulation of Lab 2.8.1. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment. A summary of the instructions is provided within the activity. Use the Lab PDF for more details.

Activity 11 (2.8.2)
Packet Tracer
In this lab activity, you will be given a network address that must be subnetted to complete the addressing of the network. The addressing for the LAN connected to the ISP router and the link between the HQ and ISP routers has already been completed. Static routes will also need to be configured so that hosts on networks that are not directly connected will be able to communicate with each other.
Use this Packet Tracer Activity to repeat a simulation of Lab 2.8.2. Remember, however, that Packet Tracer is not a substitute for a hands-on lab experience with real equipment. A summary of the instructions is provided within the activity. Use the Lab PDF for more details.

Activity 13 (2.9.1)
Packet Tracer
The Packet Tracer Skills Integration Challenge Activity for this chapter integrates all the knowledge and skills you acquired in the first two chapters of this course. In this activity, you will 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. Then implement an effective static routing configuration.
