Download the network diagram used

This network includes all the original hardware failures present in the simulator. Temporarily press the Failures button on the ribbon (Build group) :

exemple

Close the Management of failures and attacks window. When opening the document, everything is normal because the simulation speed chosen corresponds to a mode without failure or attack (see Simulation with or without failure/attack). Check with a Ping for example.

exemple

Activate the Failures and Attacks mode (Simulation group), by choosing a red simulation speed (and not the Failures button) :

exemple

By accepting, the station works :

exemple

Stations 2 and 3 have a power problem (plug and switch), hence the black screen :

exemple

Station 4 has the display cable disconnected :

exemple

The connection between the switch and St5 does not work. Observe the cable on the card and port side :

exemple

On the switch side, press the plug :

exemple

Finally, between the server and the switch, you must inspect the cable :

exemple

Change it :
