2. Cisco CCNA Packet Tracer Labs (Intro)

  • Applied techniques such as:
    - IP subnetting
    - network troubleshooting
    - network security (encryption, timeouts, passwords)
    - VLAN configuration
    - configuring SSH


1. Created a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and virtual network.
2. Created a rule in my Network Security Group that allows all inbound traffic (to lure attackers).
3. Turned off the firewall on the Windows Virtual Machine.
