Description
Welcome toHands-on Cisco Packet Tracer: Routing and Switching Labs– a practical, lab-driven course designed to help you truly understand networking by doing.
This course isn’t just about theory — it’s about doing. You’ll gain real-world skills by working through downloadable, ready-to-use Packet Tracer lab files that you can open, explore, and modify at your own pace. Whether you're at home or in a classroom, these labs bring networking concepts to life with a hands-on approach that actually sticks.
We'll start with the basics: configuring switches, routers, VLANs, and understanding access vs. trunk ports. You'll get comfortable setting up inter-VLAN routing, static routes, and even dynamic protocols like EIGRP, OSPF, and eBGP. You'll also learn to implement HSRP, EtherChannels, Port Address Translation (PAT), and more — all through guided, hands-on labs.
Each lab is explained in plain language, with step-by-step walkthroughs that focus on why things work — not just what commands to type. Whether you're new to networking or looking to reinforce what you've studied, this course builds both your knowledge and your practical skills.
By the end, you’ll be able to confidently build and troubleshoot small to medium-sized networks using Cisco Packet Tracer — and speak like a true IT professional.
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and learn by doing. Let’s build your networking foundation the right way — hands-on.
Who this course is for:
- Anyone new to networking who wants a clear, structured introduction.
- IT students preparing for certifications like Cisco CCST, CCNA, or CompTIA Network+.
- Aspiring network engineers, technicians, or sysadmins.
- Helpdesk professionals looking to level up into network roles.
- Career changers moving into the IT or cybersecurity field.
- Self-taught learners who want to solidify and organize their knowledge.
- Computer science or IT students needing practical networking insight.
- Junior IT professionals wanting to build a solid foundation.
- Home lab enthusiasts and tech hobbyists.
- Anyone curious about how data flows through modern networks.
