Packet Tracer 5.3 is required to complete this phase. Phase 2 tests take place between October 11-22, 2010. The actual date and time within the above timeframe must be determined by the proctoring instructor. Phase 3 includes a series of skills evaluations: • NetLab evaluation activity: Competitors will complete a 45-minute exercise using NetLabs. Their performance will be evaluated by the phase 3 judges. • Network design presentation: A case study for a network design will be given to competitors 24 hours prior to the phase 3 testing period.
