PT Troubleshoot - Welcome to the IT Training center network
In this Packet Tracer activity, you will be given a set of instructions you will need to work
through.
Follow the directions on the site to connect PCs, printer, server, mobile device and office
router to the training center network. Make sure and use the physical ports as directed.
You have been hired to install a training center network for the local training center's
employees.
The IT Training (ITT) organization has made a commitment to their employees to allow
them to get training during work hours as long as they meet the following requirements.
1. They must have broadband
2. They must have PCs that can access the Internet and are equipped with
headphones.
3. They center must have a laptop, an IP Phone, and a training center server.
4. They need a printer
Use a Linksys Router, plug the internet port into Fa0/2 of the ITT WAN Distribution
Switch.
Enable the DHCP server on the Linksys Router. Configure the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Gateway 192-168.0.254
Starting address 192.168.0.129
Max users 100
DNS 10.10.100.2
Mask 255.255.255.0
Enable wireless security on the Linksys Router and provide access on Director's PDAt
1. WPA2 Personal
2. Passphrase: 04272013
Connect a 2960 switch to the Linksys router.
Connect the 4 PCs, the printer, and the server to the switch.
Connect the IP phone directly to the Linksys router and connect the laptop to the phone.
Test the connectivity from the desktops and laptop to the printer, server, and to the
Linksys router.
You must connect to the ITT website on the laptop and on the PCs. The URL is
http://www.itt.com
You have forty minutes, Good Luck
Signal the judge when you are 100% done
This is the initial environment. The ISP (ITT Office Connect) has been preconfigured
Students will be required to set up the IT Training center network. That means they will have to
add devices: Linksys Wireless router, 2960 switch, four PCs, a printer, an IP phone, a server, a
laptop, and PDA (smart device). They will have to cable the devices together and configure DHCP
and wireless security on the Linksys router
This is how the completed network should look:

Cyber Security Challenge
What is Cybersecurity? - All the tools we use and actions we take to keep computers, networks, and
information safe and available for those who need it, and unavailable for those who should not have it.
That means protecting (hardening) hardware and data from everything from hacktivists to earthquakes
The Challenge - Teams will be given an operating system image (Microsoft Windows) which will test their
basic skills in cyber security and system hardening. The image will be pre-installed into the computers and
will be opened with VMPlayer.
Teams will have 40 minutes to work together to find and fix vulnerabilities in the image. The requirements
range from simple (e.g. giving users strong passwords) to much more complex. Teams can also gain points
by answering questions about their actions on the image.
Score: When teams fix a vulnerability that is being checked, they receive points. If they take an action that
makes a system less secure, they lose points. Teams can also gain points by answering forensics questions
about actions they took to solve their vulnerabilities. Teams can check their progress on their score report
page like the one illustrated below:
A basic checklist for Securing Windows is provided on the next page help your team get a better idea of
what you will face with in these images. This will also give you the opportunity to learn some basic topics
prior to the day of the competition.
