Summary

In this lab, I learned basic introductory functionality of the Cisco Packet Tracer program and learned how to set up a basic network between two switches, three pc's at each switch. I then learned how to open the command prompt in the Cisco Packet Tracer Program.

Questions For Lab

How do you deploy workstations and switches in Packet Tracer?

To deploy switches in Packet Tracer, simply hover over the "Switches" icon at the bottom left of Packet Tracer and then pick which switch you would like to deploy; simply drag the switch onto your network. To deploy a workstation, click on the "End Devives" icon on the bottom left of Packet Tracer, do the same as the switches, simply drag onto your network with your preferred End Device (in this case, a PC)

How do connect these devices with cables?

To connect these devices with cables, you click on the lightning bolt icon that is named "Connections" and select the correct connection cable. Then you click on your pc, and add it to for example FastEthernet, then connect it to the appropriate port in the switch.

How do you access the command-line terminal on a Packet Tracer PC?

In order to access the command-line terminal, all you do is click on the PC you are trying to use for the command-line terminal, click on "Desktop" and click on "Command Prompt"
