This document outlines the design of a lab activity on hubs and switches for CCNA 1 module 5. The activity is intended as a skill-building exercise for small groups or individuals to set up a hub-based network, as most academies may have limited equipment. The document discusses deciding on the audience and topic, adopting a skill-building design pattern rather than a modeling, problem-solving, or troubleshooting pattern. It proposes a standalone packet tracer activity file that can be done multiple times along with optional printed instructions, while allowing teachers flexibility to modify materials. All necessary files including the packet tracer activity, solution, and optional handout are included.
