Labs

Lab 1: Using Host-Based Tools

Utilize Windows applications and commands to investigate the IP configuration of your PC and the local network.

Lab 2: Observing the TCP Three-Way Handshake

Use a packet sniffer software application to observe the TCP initial Three-Way Handshake.

Lab 3: Observing Extended PC Network Information

Use PC Tools, such as ping, traceroute, and ipconfig to gather network-related information.

Lab 4: Connecting to Remote Lab Equipment

Begin preparations for the subsequent labs. Test and practice the connectivity for your assigned workgroup equipment that will be used for the remaining lab practice exercises.

Lab 5: Switch Startup and Initial Configuration

Connect to your workgroup switch and complete the initial configuration.

Lab 6: Enhancing Security of Switch Configuration

Increase the security of the initial switch configuration.

Lab 7: Operating and Configuring a Cisco IOS Device

Practice and demonstrate the use of the Command Line Interface (CLI) features.

Lab 8: Converting Decimal to Binary and Binary to Decimal

Test your ability to convert numbers from binary to decimal and decimal to binary.

Lab 9: Classifying Network Addressing

Classify network addresses and convert addresses from decimal to binary format or binary to decimal format.

Lab 10: Computing Usable Subnetworks and Hosts

Determine how to create subnets from a given IP address, how many hosts per subnet, and how many subnets per IP address.

Lab 11: Calculating Subnet Masks

Determine the subnet mask used based on specific criteria provided. Determine the binary and decimal format of the mask, subnet address, number of host addresses, and the Directed Broadcast address.

Lab 12: Initial Router Startup

Connect to your workgroup router and examine the startup process.

Lab 13: Initial Router Configuration

Connect to your workgroup router and complete the initial configuration.

Lab 14: Enhancing Security of Initial Router Configuration

Increase the security of the initial router configuration.

Lab 15: Using Security Device Manager (SDM) to Configure DHCP Server Functions

Use the Cisco SDM to configure DHCP server functionality on your workgroup router.

Lab 16: Managing Remote Access Sessions

Utilize Telnet and SSH to create connections to your workgroup devices.

Lab 17: Connecting to the Internet

Configure the WAN Ethernet Interface to use a DCHP-obtained address and perform Port Address Translation to the inside network.

Lab 18: Connecting to the Main Office

Configure your workgroup router to connect to another device via a serial interface using PPP and provide a static route to that device.

Lab 19: Enable Dynamic Routing to Main Office

Enable the workgroup router to use the dynamic routing protocol RIP.

Lab 20: Using CDP

Obtain information about your directly connected Cisco device using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and disable CDP from running on selected interfaces.

Lab 21: Managing Router Startup Operations

Make changes to control the router startup behavior, such as boot commands or configuration register settings.

Lab 22: Managing Cisco Devices

Understand how to use the IOS Copy and Debug commands.

Lab 23: Confirming the Re-Configuration of the Branch Network

Using all the skills that you have learned, you will assume the management of an incorrectly configured network. You will need to reconfigure or correct the network and then test the new network configuration for accuracy.
