Editing a PT Activity: A Scenario


Editing a PT Activity You are teaching a class in CCNA Discovery: Working at a Small-

to-Medium Business or ISP (D2)

The objectives for this PT Activity include:Subnet an address space based on the host requirements

Assign host addresses to devices

PT Activity Wizard Vocabulary Answer network: The network that you want students

to end up with after they perform whatever configuration tasks they are instructed to complete. The “correct” answer.

Initial network: The network that you give students to begin with in completing the activity. This can be as “complete” or incomplete as you like. Just remember that you need to give clear instructions so that students know what Answer network you are expecting.
