The module exams for Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are available now in your second CCNA course, Routing Protocols and Concepts class. They are available until next Tuesday. As the first CCNA course, they are for you to practise only.

 

There are still some students who passed the first course online exam but have not been enrolled into the second course. The reasons are that you have not done the course feedback or you have not paid the fees. Thus I can not graduate/enrol you into the new course.

 

Good luck with studying Routing Protocols and Concepts.

Packet Tracer version 4.11 is a maintenance release that fixes issues reported in Packet Tracer version 4.1. While no new features or commands were added to PT4.11, you should upgrade to Packet Tracer 4.11 to take advantage of the improvements in the stability and quality of the application. Please note that the last two courses of the CCNA Exploration curricula require Packet Tracer version 4.11.

All Packet Tracer 4.0 and 4.1 activities are backward compatible with PT4.11. All documentation that refers to PT4.1 is still valid and appropriate for PT4.11. Packet Tracer 4.1 has been replaced by PT4.11 and is no longer available for download.
