Packet Tracer 3.2 Usage

Running Activity Files

When you open an activity (.pka) file, you will first see the instructions window telling you how to complete the activity. You can minimize this window as you work on the activity. The window also contains two buttons: "Reset Activity" and "Check Results". Use the "Reset Activity" button to go back to the activity's initial settings and start over. Use the "Check Results" button to see your progress in completing the activity. An activity is fully completed when red checks appear on all components. A gray check indicates that a category is only partially complete.

The screenshot above indicates the results for an attempt at our simple activity example. It shows that the activity was nearly completed, with only one component wrong or missing. The user can close the results window and correct the remaining component.

Note: As a user (not the author of the activity), you can use the File-->Save (or Save As) command to save your current progress in the activity, so you can finish the activity later from where you left off. When you re-open the file later on, you can still use the "Reset Activity" button to restart from the initial network.
