Packet Tracer 4.0 Skill Building Activity: Using Packet

Objective Use Packet Tracer to complete the following skills   Scenario These topologies represent two networks, one using a hub and the other using a switch. These topologies are ideal for studying ARP and ICMP behavior. Required Files To complete this lab, you will need the following Packet Tracer (.pkt) files.   UsingHub.pkt UsingSwitch.pkt To learn to use Packet Tracer To examine Ping and MAC tables on various devices using various methods
Plan To learn to use Packet Tracer.
What is Packet Tracer? Packet Tracer is a protocol simulator developed by Cisco Systems. Packet Tracer (PT) is a powerful and dynamic tool that displays the various protocols used in networking, in either Real Time or Simulation mode. This includes layer 2 protocols such as Ethernet and PPP, layer 3 protocols such as IP, ICMP, and ARP, and layer 4 protocols such as TCP and UDP. Routing protocols can also be traced.
