It’s Your Turn
Understand How the Exercise Interface Works
For this exercise, you’re going to use a practical exercise created within Cisco Packet Tracer, where some faults have been introduced.
This exercise explores Packet Tracer’s feature that allows you to create practical exercises. Most of the network devices used in the exercise are password-protected with the following password: 1234-Metropolitan:1234 (case-sensitive, remember to use special characters).
When you start the exercise, you’ll have an assistant who will provide you with some information about the faults:

Complete the Exercise
Start by opening the exercise file.
Samuel is a network technician in the organization and he’s been acting up again! While trying to fix the network, he actually introduced two faults. In addition, he forgot to fill in the maintenance log showing what configuration changes he made. Oh, Samuel!
Here are the problems Samuel identified with the network:
Fault when carrying out test communication between PC1 and PC2.
Fault when carrying out test communication between the tablet and the other mobile devices.
As a network technician, it’s up to you to fix the network. Try to get 100%. The purpose of this exercise is to fix the network, but it’s also useful in helping to structure your process when troubleshooting errors.
Good luck! I know you can do it!
