It’s Your Turn
Right, you've got this! The final practical troubleshooting exercise. As before, open the practical exercise file and try to resolve the faults identified by Samuel.
Reminder on How the Exercise Interface Works
If you need it, here’s a reminder on how the practical exercises work in Packet Tracer.
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.
If you look at Completion in the bottom right-hand corner, you’ll see that the exercise isn't yet complete because your score is at 0%:
To successfully complete the exercise, you need the following score:
If you need help, click on Check Results at the bottom on the left, then on Assessment Items to check the marking scheme. This will help you find the solution to the exercise, but of course, don’t cheat! You should try to work it out for yourself.
Complete the Exercise
Here's Samuel again for your final troubleshooting test. Here are the problems Samuel identified with the network:
The workstations in the “HR” team can’t access the file servers.
The two workstations in “Operations” can ping each other but can't communicate with anyone else.
SSH access has been disabled on the “IT” switch.
The VPN subnet is inaccessible.
The workstations in the “Marketing” team can’t access anything.
So go on, try to resolve the faults on this network and achieve a score of 100%. Compare your work with the solution. Good luck!
