Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to enable OSPF on broadcast network types. These include Ethernet and Token Ring (although you are not likely to encounter Token Ring). Lab Purpose: Enabling OSPF on broadcast network types is a …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to enable Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) on point-to-point network types. These include High-level Data Link Control (HDLC) and point-to-point protocol (PPP). Lab Purpose: Enabling OSPF on point-to-point network types is a …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn how to implement DHCP snooping in your network to protect your DHCP environment. Lab Purpose: DHCP snooping is a feature that enables a network to trust only the required DHCP servers in the network to …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn how to configure 802.1x in your switch infrastructure. Lab Purpose: Understanding how to enable and configure 802.1x in your switch infrastructure is a core security topic when you think about security in Layer 2 of …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to use redundant links between Cisco switches in order to build port channels. Lab Purpose: Understanding how to enable the different port-channel protocols on a Layer 2 network is a must for …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to configure RPVST. By default, RPVST converges much faster than traditional STP. Lab Purpose: RPVST configuration is a fundamental skill. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is to configure access ports to transition immediately to the Forwarding state, instead of going through the typical Spanning Tree states (i.e., Blocking, Listening, Learning, etc.). Lab Purpose: Bypassing default Spanning Tree port states is a fundamental skill. By default, …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is to understand how to configure many interfaces that share the same common configuration at the same time without having to do them one at a time Lab Purpose: Configuring multiple interfaces on a switch at the same time is …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is to use the macro in Cisco IOS to configure a switch to automatically adjust its Spanning Tree priority for a particular VLAN, or group of VLANs, ensuring that it is the most likely elected root bridge. Lab Purpose: VLAN …

Lab Objective: The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to manually configure a switch to become the root bridge for a particular VLAN. By default, all VLANs have a priority of 32,768 (plus the VLAN number), which are used to determine …
