Lab: Packet Tracer IoT build and test log

Build a simulated IoT system with sensors, an actuator, and a remote dashboard.

Objective

Build an IoT topology in Cisco Packet Tracer that monitors sensors and controls an actuator, then record a test log.

Steps

  1. Add a gateway, router, switch, and at least four IoT devices.
  2. Register the devices with the IoT server.
  3. Open the remote dashboard and confirm live readings.
  4. Set a threshold rule that turns on an actuator.
  5. Disconnect one device and confirm it shows as offline.
  6. Record at least six tests in a table with expected and actual results.

Evidence

  • Topology and dashboard screenshots.
  • Completed test log.
  • Short reflection on one problem and how you fixed it.
