Networking & Packet Tracer Coursework
Foundational network-design and device coursework using Cisco Packet Tracer, supported by completed activity files and an Erskine networking course built around Network+ objectives.
01 / Problem
What the system needs to solve.
Networking concepts become useful only when a student can connect logical models, physical devices, addressing, protocols, operations, security, and troubleshooting.
Verified evidence
What this case study rests on.
- Two standalone .pka activities and one packaged .pksz activity were supplied
- The Erskine IT190 syllabus confirms Cisco Packet Tracer project work and Network+ topic coverage
- Topology screenshots and completion scores are intentionally withheld until the native files are reviewed
02 / Goals
A clear target for the work.
- 01Build a working understanding of LAN, WAN, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, TCP/IP, and the OSI model
- 02Practice network setup and exploration in Cisco Packet Tracer
- 03Document technical decisions and troubleshooting clearly
03 / Features
What the current system supports.
04 / Process
How the work moves forward.
- 1
Study the network model and device roles
- 2
Complete guided and independent Packet Tracer activities
- 3
Retain the native activity files as evidence
- 4
Prepare sanitized diagrams and explanations before public release
05 / Lessons
What the work is teaching.
A diagram is useful only when it explains how devices, addressing, and protocols support the intended communication.
Troubleshooting improves when the physical, data-link, and network layers are checked deliberately.
06 / Next steps
Make the next version stronger.
- Open the native files in Packet Tracer and capture sanitized topology views
- Publish one detailed lab walkthrough with configuration and troubleshooting notes
- Add measured lab results only after the source files are reviewed in the course application
Live links, repositories, dates, screenshots, and result claims appear only after they have been supplied and verified. This project’s current status is Academic.
