Final answer:

To increase font size in Cisco Packet Tracer for the CLI window, you can zoom in by pressing Ctrl and + keys or using Ctrl with your mouse scroll wheel. There's no global setting to adjust CLI font size. For labels and annotations, change the font size in the properties section.

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase font size in Cisco Packet Tracer, you will need to modify the preferences within the application. Unfortunately, Cisco Packet Tracer does not have a direct option to change the font size for the CLI interface globally. However, you can zoom in on the CLI window which will effectively increase the text size. Here's what you can do:

  • Open the Cisco Packet Tracer program.
  • Go to the specific device whose CLI font size you want to increase.
  • Access the Command Line Interface (CLI) window for the device by clicking on the device and then the CLI tab.
  • Once in the CLI window, you can press Ctrl and then + to zoom in (increase the font size). Likewise, press Ctrl and then - to zoom out (decrease the font size).
  • For some versions of Packet Tracer, you might also be able to zoom by holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the mouse wheel up or down.

Alternatively, if you're referring to the font size in labels and annotations within a network diagram, you can change the font size by:

  • Clicking on the 'Select' tool.
  • Clicking on the existing label or annotation you wish to modify.
  • Changing the font size in the properties section located at the bottom of the Packet Tracer interface.
