Included Activities


The SAVES directory of Packet Tracer contains sample activities and network files. Some activities may have additional handouts in Word format. They are all categorized into the following folders:

CCNA1:
These include concept builders (modeling problems), skill builders (procedural labs and skills exams), design problems, and troubleshooting problems relevant to Academy Course CCNA 1, v3.1, Networking Basics.

CCNA2:
These include concept builders (modeling problems), skill builders (procedural labs and skills exams), design problems, and troubleshooting problems relevant to Academy Course CCNA 2, v3.1, Routers and Routing Basics.

CCNA3:
These include concept builders (modeling problems), skill builders (procedural labs and skills exams), design problems, and troubleshooting problems relevant to Academy Course CCNA 3, v3.1, Switching Basics and Intermediate Routing.

CCNA4:
These include concept builders (modeling problems), skill builders (procedural labs and skills exams), design problems, and troubleshooting problems relevant to Academy Course CCNA 4, v3.1, WAN Technologies.

REFERENCE TOPOLOGIES:
These are starter topologies that were used for testing purposes. They have no instructions, but may be useful starting points for activities you would like to create.

Note: Personal Folders
Users can create their own folders in the SAVES directory. Classroom research has shown that the earlier users learn the basics of creating Packet Tracer networks from scratch, the more they can learn from the tool. It is our hope that as you create your own Packet Tracer activities, both .pkt network files and .pka activity files, you will consider sharing them with the Academy community.

Notes: PT v3.2 and PT v4.0 Files
PT v3.2 files can be used in PT v4.11 but please note that the backwards compatibility of PT 4.11 is limited due to fundamental changes in protocol modeling and GUI programming. However, PT v3.2 topologies may still be useful as starting points. Note that in general you will need to adjust both the GUI features (moving devices around) and configurations (via GUI and command line interface) of the PT v3.2 files loaded into PT v4.11. PT v4.11 will open PT v4.0 network and activity files, but since PT v4.11 has considerably more protocol, device, and activity wizard features, you may still want to edit and re-save your PT v4.0 work using PT v4.11.
