12.6.1 Packet Tracer - Troubleshooting Challenge Document the Network

CCNAv7 - Enterprise Networking, Security, and Automation (ENSA)
Cisco CCNA3 Packet Tracer. Netacad, IT network.

Objectives:
In this lab, you will document a network that is unknown to you.
• Test network connectivity.
• Compile host addressing information.
• Remotely access default gateway devices.
• Document default gateway device configurations.
• Discover devices on the network.
• Draw the network topology.

Background / Scenario:
Your employer has been hired to take over the administration of a corporate network because the previous network administrator has left the company. The network documentation is missing and needs to be recreated. You job is to document the hosts and network devices including all the device addressing and logical interconnections. You will remotely access network devices and use network discovery to complete a device table and draw the network topology.

This is Part I of a two-part series of activities. You will use the documentation that you create in this activity toguide you as you troubleshoot the network in Part II, Packet Tracer - Troubleshooting Challenge - Using Documentation to Solve Issues.

As you investigate and document the network topology, make note of issues that you discover that do not adhere to the practices taught in the CCNA curriculum.
