The Art of Clustering


Clusters

Allows simplification of topology

Cluster one device or multiple devices

Hide devices in a topology

Authoring PT Activities


Authoring PT

This is as simple as taking an old lab and adapting it for PT

Three optionsPT exercise - use the old lab as the instructions, create a template for the students to start from and save the completed lab as a pkt filePT challenge - use the old lab as the instructions and have the student create the lab from scratch and save as a pkt filePT activity - convert the lab into a full activity

Although the last option requires the most prep, it is the easiest to grade


Allows students to concentrate on task at hand

In the Above Network Configure a Standard Access Control List that:1. Allows All of Network 219.17.100.0 Access to 205.7.5.0 2. Deny All Hosts in the Internet Access to 205.7.5.0Remember:By Default the Statement “Deny 0.0.0.0.255.255.255.255” Is Added to the End of an ACL.If In/Out Is not Applied to the Access-Group Statement the Default Is Out.

Presentation Notes

Do these addresses seem familiar? Original lab is from January of 1999, created as an ACL practice on 2500 routers. The PT pkt file uses 2620XM routers, it is assumed that students are capable of converting interface names. The prep takes is a few minutes to configure the network and is saved as aclbasenet.pkt Students will add and configure workstations Apply the ACL and test.


Use the old lab as the instructions and have the student create the lab from scratch and save as a pkt file

Working with Activity Instructions


Activity Instructions

Instructions in Packet Tracer Activity Wizard are built in simple HTML format

Most HTML editors write in HTML 4 or XML

Find a simple HTML editor like Easy HTML

You will still have to remove code not recognized by PT
