Assistance with configuring end devices in a packet tracer

[MatthewWade]

Hello, I believe I am posting this in the right discussion board. If not, please direct me where this inquiry would be more suitable. There are a series of packets tracers on Cisco's Networking Academy for candidates to complete, but where can those candidates link up with mentors or coaches to get guidance on completing the tasks in the packet tracer activities. I am aware of tutorial videos and such, but is there a way we could use this discussion thread as a walkthrough of each of the packet tracer activities so other candidates can have an easier time of getting equipped with the skills to begin handling network management. I'm beginning to get word of a need for more people to fill jobs in cybersecurity, networking, and IT, so my hope is finding a way to translate the material so it's more personable and accessible for a wider audience. I'll list the packet tracer activities that I'd like direction and guidance from experienced Cisco Network Administrators on how to convey the important commands to memorize and learn for each skill flex these drills are meant to equip a networker's cyberneurophysiology with

There is a lab book designed for Networking Academy classes and should be available for students. This lab book comes with step by step instructions and activities which can be done with Packet Tracer.  The idea of learning here was (and still is) to read the book, discuss subject in classroom, follow and do the labs from lab book, turn any homework.  A page or two from such lab book was shared here at this forum once or twice along with PT activity zip file.

In fact, Packet Tracer was designed for Cisco's Networking Academy classes and courses which are (or were) held at local colleges (and maybe private entities as well). There, during those classes, you could get guidance on completing the tasks based on lab book with the packet tracer (aka PT activities). Such lab book was available at local college bookstore or shared online. Also, students had their own classroom notes as well instructor's notes. 

 Today, if classes are not held physically but online only, those students still should get access to lab book and follow instructor's guidelines.
