Scenario
In this Packet Tracer Skills Assessment, you will configure the devices in a small network. You will complete all tasks in PT Physical Mode. You will not have access to the logical topology.
You will place devices in proper locations and power them on. You will configure routers, switches, and PCs to support IPv4 connectivity for hosts. The routers and switches must be managed securely. You will configure Single-Area OSPFv2, NAT, and access control lists. Further, you will backup up your working configurations to a TFTP server and upload a working configuration to another device.
Furthermore, different versions of the IOS image are used in switches. You will update a switch to use the latest IOS.

- PC-C cannot ping PC-A.
Step 2: Configure NAT
a. Configure static NAT on router R1 with a public IP address 64.100.1.7 to allow PC-B to access the web server.
Answer:
R1(config)# ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.5 64.100.1.7 R1(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 R1(config-if)# ip nat outside R1(config-if)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 R1(config-if)# ip nat inside
b. Configure PAT on router R2 to enable some devices on the network attached to the G0/0/1 interface to access the internet
- Create a NAT pool named IPNAT1 with IP address range of 209.165.202.140 to 209.165.202.150 with the subnet mask of 255.255.255.224.
- Create a numbered ACL (ACL 1) to allow devices with IP address range of 172.16.2.1 through 172.16.2.15 to access the internet through NAT.
- Use PAT to allow the range of the public IP addresses to be shared.
Answer:
R2(config)# ip nat pool IPNAT1 209.165.202.140 209.165.202.150 netmask 255.255.255.224 R2(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool IPNAT1 overload R2(config)# access-list 1 permit 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.15 R2(config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/0/1 R2(config-if)# ip nat inside
Step 3: Configure access control on R1
a. Create a standard ACL R1-VTY-LIMIT to allow only PC-B access to the R1 vty lines.
b. Apply the ACL.
Answer:
R1(config)#ip access-list standard R1-VTY-LIMIT R1(config-std-nacl)#permit host 192.168.1.5 R1(config-std-nacl)# R1(config-std-nacl)#line vty 0 15 R1(config-line)#access-class R1-VTY-LIMIT in

100% just be careful with wired connections ports
why 67%?
As of last month, this guide will get you 100%. But you do need to be careful with the configuration. Some of my colleagues didn’t get 100%, so I can only assume they didn’t do something right.
Unable to configure anything on R1 and R2 directly locked buy authors authority…managed to configure with console cable
access from terminal in pc connected with console cable
83%
Still valid !!! 97 %
any reason why we did not configure OSPF network 192.168 network in R1 and network 172.16 in R2 ?
where to connect console cable
With this guide in 2024 I can confirm you will get a 80%, with only 2 items incorrect. Those being “Network:R2:OSPF:1:Networks:Route1″ and “Network:R2:NAT:Inside Source List:1″
Unable to open file. This file requires Cisco Packet Tracer version 8.2.2.0400. Your current version is 8.2.1.0118.
100% Thank you!
Don’t forget to configure ip on server!!!!
Hello, I am trying to configure the routers as shown on Part 2 : Step 2 but I am not able to access the config tab as it has been locked by author’s design. is there another way to do that or am I missing something here?
Additionally is this still valid as of April 2024.
Can I get the file whose completion % is not 100% but 0% so that I can practice?
The attached Packet Tracer does not work correctly.
R1 and R2 have incorrect G0/0/2 ports and you’re unable to properly connect copper straight-through cables to them.
Very strange there is such an obvious mistake so early in the PT.
Fixed, please download again pka file
I am taking this exam in 2 weeks. Is this still valid?
I am trying to connect router with switch, showing cable cannot be connected, pls help.
For whatever reason when trying to connect to R2, I had to click the bottom port to get it to connect. Try and see if that works for you.
I checked DNS configs IPs and all settings. No errors but I’ve got 70%. November 2023
Same here, did everything this page said, no errors, only 70%
26/10/2023 – Está funcionando, segue o passo a passo que é 100%
cuidado na hora de fazer a parte Backup and IOS Update, leia atentamente a sequência de comandos informado.
Still valid 13/10/2023.
And don’t forget to add DNS server ip address in the PC A, B & C network settings
how come it says “Configuration is locked” for all devices except for S4?? its so frustrating I cant find the problem to fix it
very amazing
Thanks, 100%
Thank you guys for this. I get 93% score with this answer
on part4, step 6 …on line VTY does a password need??
on S1, s2,S3,S4 configuration there are no Descriptions of the interfaces
I think that’s because by default, the modulus of a certification authority (CA) key is 1024 bits.
i think the IP address is wrong it should be 192.168.1.5 instead of 64.100.1.7
It is asking for the public address to be used. R1 is set up with NAT to translate the private class c address to a public address.
For Part 5C why is ACL R2-SECURITY applied to g0/0/0 and not g0/0/2 since we should be policing traffic from the internet? I am assuming the internet is where the web server is. I need help in understanding this.
That confused me too, until I got the wording. They state that the ACL is to restrict traffic from the internet, meaning it is not a part of the directly connected networks and accessed through another router. The LANs containing the DNS/Web Server and LAN C are just that, directly connected LANs. Everything else is reached through the “inter-network” via G0/0/0.
For Part 5C why is ACL R2-SECURITY applied to g0/0/0 and not g0/0/2 since we should be policing traffic from the internet? I am assuming the internet is where the web server is. I need help in understanding this.
Where can i download the ENSA (Version 7.00) Final PT Skills Assessment Exam? I would like to try this
Download Packet Tracer File (.PKA)
In Part 4, wouldn’t it make more sense to enter the “Int g0/0/0” and “ip nat outside” command already at Step 2 B in stead of at Step 5 C?
My commands were the same as it is shown above but for some reason, it failed to copy tftp flash which is at step 5 part 2 can anybody tell me what mistake I must’ve committed? Also, I used PC-A for R1 and PC-C for R2 to connect with the console and PC-B for all the switches is that fine?
How did you connect PC-B to multiple switches?
how do i configure the switch
This is coming to Exam ?? any idea guys ?
Is the cable connection correct? Because I see that the Switch should be connected to the G0/0/1 port of the Router with G0/1 port on the topology diagram, but the screenshot shows Fa0/1
I am also confused about the topology. I made it this way. But Console cable of SW have to switch every time while configuring in SW
Don’t forget to add DNS server ip address in the PC A, B & C network settings
Hi Angga, I have an issue with this PT do you know why I can not open the routers and switches. When I click it says “configure locked” is something wrong with Packet Tracer or am I doing something wrong? Thank you !!
You should use console from PC that connected with console cable to the routers & switches
Where’s the DNS server ip address?
209.165.202.131
!!! Click read more for readable format !!!
Part 5: Perform Configuration Backup and IOS Update.
Step 1.
192.168.1.5 shall be the ip address of PC-B, since you set it up manually at the beginning.
Go to R1:
Go to S1:
Go to S2:
If you accidentally misspell something, you can edit the file names in PC-B/TFTP.
Step 2.
Go to S3:
209.165.202.131 is the DNS Server address, it shall be predetermined.
If you successfully got the ISO, then go back to S3:
After that you can check the boot file with:
If you see “BOOT path-list : flash:c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE4.bin” in the terminal, then you are good to go.
As far as i know, this way you completed Part 5; uploaded the running configs to PC-B, and downloaded an ISO from the DNS server and set it up for S3’s boot.
Thanks you so much!
do you have a solution for this problem?
Error opening tftp://209.165.202.131/c2960-lanbasek9-mz.150-2.SE4.bin (Timed out)
Hi, What are your grades based on this answer? When connecting, do you follow the connection method in the screenshot? Or connect according to the topological diagram of the topic?
The reason why is Timed Out is you do not turn on DNS Server. Please pay attention about that before you go.
