Explore how Cisco Packet Tracer enables hands-on network design and troubleshooting with a drag-and-drop interface, protocol support, and integrated learning tools for education and certification prep.
Explore the Cisco Packet Tracer interface, navigate the main menu and preferences, configure devices and cables, and view port labels while simulating network traffic.
Configure IP addresses on the router, switches, and computers, set class a subnet masks, and verify connectivity with ping in Cisco Packet Tracer.
Explore dynamic routing protocols—RIP, OSPF, and EGP—and how they build routing tables, choose the best path using hop count, cost, and a composite metric, with Dijkstra, link state, and bandwidth.
Configure eigrp in Cisco Packet Tracer, assign ip addresses to routers and PCs, advertise directly connected networks, and verify routing with show ip route and ping.
Explore building a Cisco Packet Tracer topology that runs RIP, OSPF and EGP, then redistribute among them to enable end-to-end communication across multiple networks.
Explore vlan concepts and how they segment a physical network into logical networks, improving efficiency, security, and management. Learn inter-vlan routing, spanning tree protocol, port security, and trunking.
Configure VLANs on Cisco Packet Tracer, create VLAN ten and VLAN twenty, assign access ports, set up a trunk between switches, and verify inter-VLAN communication with PCs.
Configure inter vlan routing using a layer 3 switch and router on a stick, set up two vlans with svi, enable ip routing, and verify connectivity with pings between hosts.
Outline VLAN configuration for HR, IT, and sales on a Cisco switch and implement inter-VLAN routing using either switch virtual interfaces or router-on-a-stick, depending on topology.
Master DHCP, DNS, and NAT configuration in Cisco Packet Tracer, focusing on dynamic IP assignment, domain name resolution, and address translation.
Configure dns on Cisco packet tracer to translate ip addresses to domain names, integrating dns server with dhcp and a web server, and test with cisco-course.com.
Configure network address translation on a Cisco router using inside and outside interfaces, private and public IPs, and a NAT pool to enable external access to an inside web server.
Explore core Cisco Packet Tracer concepts through a quiz on DHCP, DNS, and NAT, covering DHCP transactions, leases, A records, TTL, authoritative servers, PAT, and recursive DNS.
Explore network security fundamentals, including standard and extended ACLs, VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and Cisco Packet Tracer lab configurations.
Configure standard and extended ACLs to block a specific source IP from pinging a web server while allowing other traffic. Enable HTTP access and test with ping and HTTP requests.
Configure a vpn on Cisco routers to create a secure tunnel that hides traffic from intermediate routers. Learn ip addressing and OSPF routing to securely route data through the tunnel.
Engage with module seven's network security mcq quiz to test your understanding of acl types, vpn concepts, firewall roles, and encryption in Cisco Packet Tracer.
Learn to debug networks with the Cisco Packet Tracer simulation tool by building topologies, configuring IP addresses, testing with ping, and using simulation mode to identify errors.
Execute the final project by configuring firewall, access lists, port security, VLANs and inter‑VLAN routing in Cisco Packet Tracer, including DMZ, DHCP relay, RIP, and wireless VLANs.
