Place:Karad Date: Micro–Project Report To Configure Wireless Network using Cisco Packet Tracer
1.0 Rationale
Configuring a wireless network using Cisco Packet Tracer involves setting up
and managing various network components such as routers, switches, and access points within a simulated environment. This process allows users to design, configure, and troubleshoot wireless networks without the need for physical hardware. Through Packet Tracer, users can practice configuring network settings like SSIDs, security protocols (WPA2, WPA3), encryption keys, VLANs, and DHCP services. Additionally, Packet Tracer provides a platform for hands-on learning, network design and planning, troubleshooting skills development, resource accessibility to Cisco devices and features, cost- effective training, realistic network simulation, and preparation for Cisco certifications such as CCNA or CCNP. Overall, configuring a wireless network using Cisco Packet Tracer offers a comprehensive learning experience and practical preparation for real-world networking scenarios
