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 …
