Lab 2.1 Intro to Packet Tracer and Deploying Pinging Devices - Hsanokklis/2022-2023-Tech-journal GitHub Wiki

Summary: Our objective in this lab was to begin to understand the functionality and layout of Cisco Packet Tracer. We made an Cisco networking academy account, and practiced deploying network devices.

Part 1: setup

Step 0: Install Packet Tracer on your personal computer It was already on my host workstation

1. Register for a Cisco Network Academy Account
