Please carefully review the Project $1$ instructions $($see attached files below$)$ before you begin working on this project. The instructions are scenario$-$based and give you the step$-$by$-$step goals required to complete this project. You will complete this project using the Cisco Packet Tracer Activity $($PKA$)$ file and design and configure the network described in the instructions. If you are familiar with Cisco Packet Tracer, that's great; however, if not, you are strongly advised to complete at least the first two modules $$Getting Started with Cisco Packet Tracer$$ and $$Exploring Networking with Cisco Packet Tracer$$ of Introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer modules available for free in Cisco Networking Academy.

Therefore, access the courses and complete at least the first two modules. In addition, go ahead and download the Cisco Packet Tracer $8.$x for free from Cisco Networking Academy or from the Introduction to Cisco Packet Tracer section of the Week $1$ Reading.

Objective $1(90\%)$:

The Packet Tracer Activity $($PKA$)$ file needs to be opened in the Cisco Packet Tracer application. As you complete the design and configuration in the Packet Tracer activity the percentage of completion will show your progress. When you complete the design and configuration to $100\%$ in the PKA, you have scored $90\%$ of your total Project $1$ score. The rest of the $10\%$ will come from the documentation you provide using the template file as described below.

Objective $2(10\%)$:

Then, when you're ready, use the Project $1$ Template to document your project progress and record screenshots and descriptive answers in the given space in the document. $10\%$ of your total score for the Project $1$ is part of this documentation.
