Why do I want this document? This document is intended to show instructors how each chapter's labs and activities integrate into the course content, an assist instructors in planning how students can complete those activities within the time constraints of their course offerin An instructor might use this as a resource while creating weekly lesson plans. For example, an instructor will make decis on when to provide direct instruction; and will plan when and where students will complete labs and activities both in clas and outside of class.
How is this document structured? There is a worksheet for each chapter of this course which provides an outline of the chapter content and how the activiti are placed within that content.
There are tabs for each course chapter. Each tab outlines the chapter and details all labs and activities. The details of ea lab or activity include its page within the course, the type of activity, the learning objectives, and equipment needed to complete the lab.
How do I display specific types of activities for a chapter? Each column contains an AutoFilter dropdown list. Selecting (NonBlanks) in the Activity/Lab column will display all of the labs and activities for that chapter. Additional filters can be use to display only the Hands-on Labs, PT Activities, Media Activities, Linksys GUI activities, an Lab Activities.
What are the different types of Packet Tracer activities? There are three types of PT activities included in the course: PT Activity: Skills Practice -- These e-doing activities guide students through a specific skillset, providing just-in-time sk reinforcement and practice. PT Activity: Companion to Hands-on Lab -- These activities may be used in conjunction with hands-on labs. PT Activity: Skills Integration Challenge -- These summary activities provide a skills integration challenge which build up skills learned in this chapter and in previous chapters. Supplemental PT Activities -- These activities complement the CCNA Discovery and CCNA Exploration curricula and utilize technologies new to PT with the release of PT5.0 including activities demonstrating OSPF, IPv6, SSH, RSTP, Spanning Tree, VLANs, and Frame Relay.
It is important to note that Packet Tracer was not designed to replace the use of physical equipment in a classroom. Pack Tracer is more than a network lab simulator, providing many other opportunities for instruction and learning.

Hands-on Lab
After recording details of the router and switch, students are to use the software and feature search tools on Cisco.com. Students create individual Cisco.com Guest registration. NOTE: Duplicate registrations are discouraged; therefore, if a student has a current Cisco.com registration, please have that student omit Task 1. Each student needs to have the following details available: Working email address Full location address details (academy or home) Telephone number Job role information if employed Ideally this lab should have students: (1) Download a specified Cisco IOS software file from www.cisco.com. (2) Set up a local TFTP server. (3) Upload the appropriate IOS file to the flash memory of a Cisco router and switch. The student is to observe and record information about a specific device learned through observing the boot process to determine what happens at each step of the startup process. * Instructors should preconfigure the wireless Access Point. * The purpose of this lab is for the student to view wireless signal degradation as a wireless router is moved to different locations. * If a wireless laptop is available, it can be used to show signal strength when moving out of the room and when walls come between the laptop and the router. Labs 4.1.2, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, and 4.5.5 use the Cisco IOS NetFlow feature to record and identify a range of application and data flows across a network. * This lab introduces the configuration of NetFlow. This feature will be specifically applied in the later labs.

* In this hands-on lab activity, students design a small network topology that supports email and file transfers. Upon completion, the traffic will be monitored using NBAR (Network-Based Application Recognition). * After students design the network, they will use FTP to download the Thunderbird email client from Discovery Server. The email client is then installed on the local PC and used to send and receive emails to and from the other PC.
4.2.3.4
Hands-on Lab
* Students examine the impact of video data flows on the performance of the network when other data traffic is also flowing. * The routers may be preconfigured or configured by the students. * At least two different clock rates should be used for comparison; if time permits, a progressive increase of clock rate should be applied.
4.4.4.3
