Introduction
Thanks very much for taking the time to download this free eBook. It contains complete
configuration lab exercises and solutions to help you pass the Cisco CCNA Routing and
Switching 200-125 exam. You can also use it as a configuration reference for Cisco routers
and switches. I hope you can make use of it to expand your networking knowledge and
further your career.
How the Lab Works

I wanted to make this a completely free resource and as simple to use as possible so the
free software GNS3 and Packet Tracer is used for the labs.
Ive used two different software programs because GNS3 is best for the routing labs, and
Packet Tracer is best for the switching labs.
Ive provided a lab startup file for each exercise which loads in either GNS3 or Packet Tracer
so you can get up and running with the labs immediately. A download link is provided at the
start of each exercise.
(You can alternatively use your own physical lab if you have one by cabling it as shown in
the lab topology diagram for each exercise.)
Please watch my short free course showing how to install and use Packet Tracer and GNS3
first if you havent used the software before:
GNS3 and Packet Tracer Installation course
Please note that I dont provide support for GNS or Packet Tracer, they have their own
dedicated teams which are available through their support forums:
GNS3 Support | Cisco Support

and IBM.
I dropped out of school with no qualifications or future plans at
the age of 15. When I got a little bit older and wiser I realised I
should make a career for myself so I learned about IT
technologies through books and online resources. Its my

04 The IOS Operating System - Lab Exercise
This lab explores basic navigation of the Cisco IOS operating system CLI (Command Line
Interface). Only a single device is required.
This lab is a guided walkthrough of the IOS command line interface. Exercises for later
sections will be split into two parts - first the tasks for you to complete on your own (without
step by step instructions), and then an answer key showing you the solution.
Load the Startup Configuration
Download the 04 The IOS Operating System.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load
the lab.
Please watch my short free course showing how to install and use Packet Tracer and GNS3
first if you havent used the software before:
GNS3 and Packet Tracer Installation course
Connect To Your Device
Click on R1 and then the CLI tab to access the console.
Press Return to get started, then enter Privileged Exec mode.

Router>enable
Router#
Reboot the device.

Router#reload
Proceed with reload? [confirm]
Observe the device going through the bootup process in the command line output. This is
possible because we are using a console connection (we could not see this if we connected
to an IP address on the device.)
If prompted to enter the initial configuration dialog after the device has booted up, enter no.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

no
Explore User Exec Mode and CLI command help
Notice that you are in User Exec mode as indicated by the Router> prompt. (Router will be
replaced with the device hostname after you configure one.)
Router>
Enter a question mark to explore the commands that are available in User Exec mode.
Router>?
Exec commands:
<1-99> Session number to resume
connect Open a terminal connection
disable Turn off privileged commands
disconnect Disconnect an existing network connection
enable Turn on privileged commands
exit Exit from the EXEC
logout Exit from the EXEC
ping Send echo messages
resume Resume an active network connection
show Show running system information
ssh Open a secure shell client connection
telnet Open a telnet connection
terminal Set terminal line parameters
traceroute Trace route to destination
Only a very limited set of informational commands are available in User Exec mode and we
wont typically be working here.
Enter the show run command.
RouterX>show run
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
show run is a valid command but should be run at Privileged Exec mode, not User Exec, so
the command fails.
This is the most common issue to trip up beginners at the IOS command line. If you see the
invalid input error then check you are at the correct level for the command you are trying to
run.
Exploring Privileged Exec (Enable) Mode
and Context Sensitive Help
Enter Privileged Exec mode. This mode is often commonly known as Enable mode. Notice
that the prompt changes to Router#
Router>enable
Router#
Drop back to User Exec mode.
Router#disable
Router>
Go back to Privileged Exec mode by using shortened command abbreviation.
Router>en
Router#
Command abbreviation only works when you enter letters which could only match one
unique command. Attempt to return to User Exec mode by entering the command di
Router#di
% Ambiguous command: "di"
Check to see all the possible commands which begin with the letters di
Router#di?
dir disable disconnect
We can see that the shortest combination we could use for Disable would be disa
We can access detailed informational and debug output in Privileged Exec mode.
Check to see all commands that begin with sh
Router#sh?
Show
show is the only command that begins with sh so we can use that as the abbreviation.
Enter sh ? to see all available show commands. Notice that we have now included a space
before the question mark. This enters context sensitive help for the show command.
Router#sh ?
aaa Show AAA values
access-lists List access lists

Router#sh
Check the possible options for the show aaa command. (Were using aaa for illustrative
purposes here. Dont worry about the meaning of the individual aaa commands, theyre not
important for this exercise.)
Router#sh aaa ?
local Show AAA local method options
sessions Show AAA sessions as seen by AAA Session MIB
user Show users active in AAA subsystem
Context sensitive help can be very useful if youre not sure about the exact command you
need to use. Unfortunately its use may be disabled in the simulator questions on the CCNA
exam so youll need to actually know the commands.
Enter sh aaa us and then hit the Tab key to see Tab completion in action.
Router#sh aaa user
The Tab key will complete a partially entered command for you. Again this will only work if
youve entered enough letters to be a unique match.
Enter the command sh aaa user all.
Router#sh aaa user all

Router#
Notice that you do not get any output when you enter the command. This is not an error -
AAA has not been configured. The CLI simply returns to the Enable prompt because there is
nothing to show.
Enter the command sh aaa usor all
Router#sh aaa usor all

^
If you enter an illegal command you will get an error message.
Here we made a typo. The CLI warns us that invalid input was detected and shows us the
location of the typo is at the o of usor. We typed usor instead of user.
Enter the command sh aaa and hit Enter.
Router#sh aaa
% Incomplete command.
The router warns us that weve entered an incomplete command, we need to enter
additional input. We could enter sh aaa ? again to see the available options.
Explore Global Configuration Mode
Enter Global Configuration mode. (The command can be abbreviated to conf t.)
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Notice that the prompt changes to Router(config)#
Global Configuration mode is where we can enter configuration which affects the device as a
whole (as opposed to configuring a particular interface for example).
Add a couple of host entries. (Dont worry what this command does for now, were going to
use it to illustrate command history in a second.)
Router(config)#ip host Server1 1.1.1.1

Router(config)#ip host Server2 2.2.2.2
Attempt to change the hostname of the device to Router1 by entering the command
Router1.
Router(config)#R1
^
Oops we forgot to enter the hostname keyword at the start of the command.
Hit the Up Arrow on your keyboard to cycle back to the previous command.
Router(config)#R1
Enter Ctrl-A to bring the cursor to the beginning of the line and change the entry to
hostname Router1. This is quicker than typing the command again.
(We can also use Ctrl-E to bring the cursor to the end of the line, and the left and right
arrows to move the cursor one character at a time.)
Router(config)#hostname R1
R1(config)#
Notice that the command prompt changes to show the routers hostname.
Hit the Up Arrow repeatedly to cycle back through your previous command history, and then
the Down Arrow to cycle back again. Notice that command history is specific to your current
level in the command hierarchy - only the commands you previously entered in Global
Configuration mode are shown.
Enter the command show ip interface brief to check which interfaces are available in the
router.
R1(config)#show ip interface brief

^
You receive the invalid input detected error message but we havent made a typo. Were
getting the error because you have to be at the correct level whenever you enter a
command. Were in Global Configuration mode but show commands are run in Privileged
Exec mode.
We can override this for show commands by entering do at the start of the command. This
works from any level in the command hierarchy.
Enter the correct command to check what interfaces are available from Global Configuration
mode.
R1(config)#do show ip interface brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/0 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Vlan1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
Enter Interface Configuration mode for one of your interfaces.
R1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0

R1(config-if)#
Notice that the prompt changes to indicate you are in Interface Configuration mode.
Drop back down to Global Configuration mode.
R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#
The exit command drops back down one level.
Hit the Up Arrow and go back to Interface Configuration mode.
R1(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 0/0

R1(config-if)#
Drop all the way back down to Privilege Exec mode with a single command.
R1(config-if)#end
R1#
The end command drops back down to Privilege Exec mode from any level. You can also
achieve this by entering Ctrl-C
View the entire device configuration.

Backup the current running configuration to flash memory in the router.
RouterX#copy run flash:

Its not a good idea to back up a device to the device itself, so enter the command to back
the running configuration up to an external TFTP server.
RouterX#copy run tftp

Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.10
Destination filename [RouterX-confg]?
Writing running-config........
%Error opening tftp://10.10.10.10/RouterX-confg (Timed out)
(The command will try to run for a while and then time out and fail because we didnt set up
connectivity to a TFTP server in the lab.)
Reload the device and check it comes back up with the expected configuration with
hostname RouterX.
RouterX#reload
11 Cisco Device Functions Lab Exercise
This lab explores the MAC address table on Cisco IOS switches and routing table on Cisco
IOS routers.
This lab is a guided walkthrough of Cisco device functions. You will explore the commands
used here in much more detail as you go through the rest of the course.
Lab Topology
Load the Startup Configurations
Download the 11 Cisco Device Functions.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load the
lab.
This preconfigures each router with an IP address in the 10.10.10.0/24 network.

Verify the Switch MAC Address Tables
1) Log into routers R1 to R4 and verify which interface is configured on the

10.10.10.0/24 network.
R1#show ip interface brief

GigabitEthernet0/0 10.10.10.1 YES manual up up
GigabitEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Vlan1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down



R1, R2 and R4 are using GigabitEthernet0/0, R3 is using GigabitEthernet0/1.
2) Note down the MAC addresses of these interfaces.
R1#show interface gig0/0

GigabitEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0090.2b82.ab01 (bia
0090.2b82.ab01)

Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0060.2fb3.9152 (bia
0060.2fb3.9152)
Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 0001.9626.8970 (bia
0001.9626.8970)

Hardware is CN Gigabit Ethernet, address is 00d0.9701.02a9 (bia
00d0.9701.02a9)
Note: the MAC addresses in your lab may be different.
3) Verify connectivity between the routers by pinging R2, R3 and R4 from R1.
R1#ping 10.10.10.2
Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.10.10.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/3 ms
R1#ping 10.10.10.3

.!!!!
R1#ping 10.10.10.4

.!!!!
4) Ping R3 and R4 from R2.
R2#ping 10.10.10.3

.!!!!
R2#ping 10.10.10.4

.!!!!
5) View the dynamically learned MAC addresses on SW1 and verify that the routers
MAC addresses are reachable via the expected ports. Ignore any other MAC
addresses in the table.
SW1#show mac address-table dynamic

Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports

1 0090.2b82.ab01 DYNAMIC Fa0/1
1 00d0.9701.02a9 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
6) Repeat on SW2.

1 0090.2b82.ab01 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
1 00d0.9701.02a9 DYNAMIC Fa0/4
7) Clear the dynamic MAC Address Table on SW1.
SW1#clear mac address-table dynamic

8) Show the dynamic MAC Address Table on SW1. Do you see any MAC addresses?
Why or why not?

Mac Address Table
-------------------------------------------

---- ----------- -------- -----
1 0001.9626.8970 DYNAMIC Fa0/24

1 000c.cf84.8418 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
1 0060.2fb3.9152 DYNAMIC Fa0/2
1 0090.2b82.ab01 DYNAMIC Fa0/1
1 00d0.9701.02a9 DYNAMIC Fa0/24
Devices in a real world network tend to be chatty and send traffic frequently, this causes the
MAC address table to update (you may see less entries in Packet Tracer).
The switch will periodically flush old entries.
Examine a Routing Table
9) View the routing table on R1. What routes are present and why?
R1#show ip route
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area
* - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks

C 10.10.10.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
L 10.10.10.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
The router has a connected route for the 10.10.10.0/24 network and a local route for
10.10.10.1/32. These routes were automatically created when the IP address 10.10.10.1/24
was configured on interface GigabitEthernet0/0
10) Configure IP address 10.10.20.1/24 on interface GigabitEthernet0/1
R1(config)#interface GigabitEthernet 0/1

R1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.20.1 255.255.255.0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
11) What routes are in the routing table now?
R1#show ip route

The router has routes for both interfaces and can route traffic between hosts on the
10.10.10.0/24 and 10.10.20.0/24 networks.
12) Configure a static route to 10.10.30.0/24 with a next hop address of 10.10.10.2
R1(config)#ip route 10.10.30.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2

13) What routes are in the routing table now?
R1(config)#do show ip route


S 10.10.30.0/24 [1/0] via 10.10.10.2
The router has routes to its locally connected networks, and also to 10.10.30.0/24 which is
available via 10.10.10.2
12 The Life of a Packet - Lab Exercise
This lab explores DNS configuration on Cisco routers and the ARP cache.
Lab Topology
Download the 12 The Life of a Packet.gns3project file here. Open in GNS3 to load the lab.
This configures the lab topology as shown above and adds static routes between R1 and
R3.

Configure R3 as a DNS Server
1) Configure R3 as a DNS server for the flackbox.lab domain
2) Add host entries for R1, R2 and R3 using the IP addresses shown in the topology
diagram. Use 10.10.10.2 as R2s IP address.
Configure R1 as a DNS Client
3) Configure R1 to use R3 as its DNS server.
4) Verify that you can ping R2 and R3 from R1 using their hostnames.
Examine the ARP Cache on the Routers
5) Do you expect to see an entry for R3 in the ARP cache of R1? Why or why not?
6) Verify the ARP cache on R1, R2 and R3.

12 The Life of a Packet Answer Key
This lab explores DNS configuration on Cisco routers and the ARP cache.
Configure R3 as a DNS Server
1) Configure R3 as a DNS server for the flackbox.lab domain
R3(config)#ip domain-lookup
R3(config)#ip name-server 10.10.20.1
R3(config)#ip domain-name flackbox.lab
R3(config)#ip dns server
2) Add host entries for R1, R2 and R3. Use 10.10.10.2 as R2s IP address.
R3(config)#ip host R1 10.10.10.1

R3(config)#ip host R1.flackbox.lab 10.10.10.1
Configure R1 as a DNS Client
3) Configure R1 to use R3 as its DNS server.
R1(config)#ip domain-lookup
R1(config)#ip domain-list flackbox.lab
4) Verify that you can ping R2 and R3 from R1 using their hostnames.
R1#ping R2
Translating "R2"...domain server (10.10.20.1) [OK]
!!!!!
R1#ping R3
Translating "R3"...domain server (10.10.20.1) [OK]

!!!!!
Examine the ARP Cache on the Routers
5) Do you expect to see an entry for R3 in the ARP cache of R1? Why or why not?
ARP requests use broadcast traffic so they are not forwarded by a router. R1 will have
entries in its ARP cache for all hosts it has seen on its directly connected networks
(10.10.10.0/24).
R1 is not directly connected to the 10.10.20.0/24 network so it will not have an entry in the
ARP cache for R3 at 10.10.20.1.
R1 can reach R3 via R2s IP address 10.10.10.2 this IP address is included in the ARP
cache.
6) Verify the ARP cache on R1, R2 and R3.
R1#sh arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 10.10.10.2 1 c402.185c.0000 ARPA FastEthernet0/0
Internet 10.10.10.1 - c401.322c.0000 ARPA FastEthernet0/0

R2#show arp
Internet 10.10.20.1 1 c403.1f98.0000 ARPA FastEthernet1/0
R3#show arp
Internet 10.10.20.1 - c403.1f98.0000 ARPA FastEthernet0/0
R2 is directly connected to 10.10.10.0/24 and 10.10.20.0/24 so it has entries in its ARP

cache for both networks.
13 The Cisco Troubleshooting Methodology - Lab
Exercise
This lab tests your network connectivity troubleshooting skills.
Lab Topology
Download the 13 The Cisco Troubleshooting Methodology.gns3project file here. Open in

GNS3 to load the lab.
This configures the lab topology as shown above with R3 as a DNS server and adds static
routes between R1 and R3.
Troubleshoot Connectivity to DNS Server
1) R3 has just been configured as a DNS server for the Flackbox.lab domain. Members
of staff have complained that DNS is not working.
2) From R1, use Telnet to check if the DNS service appears operational on R3
3) When you have verified that DNS is not working, troubleshoot and fix the problem.
Note that there may be more than one issue causing the problem.
13 The Cisco Troubleshooting Methodology Answer
Key
This lab tests your network troubleshooting skills.
Troubleshoot Connectivity to DNS Server
1) R3 has just been configured as a server for the Flackbox.lab domain. Members of
staff have complained that DNS is not working.
2) From R1, use Telnet to check if the DNS service appears operational on R3
R1#telnet 10.10.20.1 53
Trying 10.10.20.1, 53 ...
% Destination unreachable; gateway or host down
3) When you have verified that DNS is not working, troubleshoot and fix the problem.
Note that there may be more than one issue causing the problem.
There is more than one way to troubleshoot the issue. A suggested workflow is shown
below.
The first two questions to ask when troubleshooting a problem are:
1. Was it working before? If so, has something changed which could cause the
problem? This will usually direct you to the cause.
This question is not particularly useful for our example as the DNS server has just been
brought online for the first time.
2. Is the problem affecting everybody or just one particular user? If its affecting just one
user, the likelihood is that the problem is at their end.
In this case the problem is affecting all users, so the problem is likely on the server end or
with the network.
The error message when we tried to Telnet was Destination unreachable, so it looks like a
connectivity issue.
Ping from R1 to R3.
R1#ping 10.10.20.1

UUUUU
Success rate is 0 percent (0/5)
The ping fails at the network layer so there is little point in checking the DNS service at
higher layers until we fix this problem.
Rather than checking connectivity hop by hop, we can possibly save a little time by using
traceroute.
R1#traceroute 10.10.20.1

Tracing the route to 10.10.20.1
1 10.10.10.2 64 msec 60 msec 60 msec

2 10.10.10.2 !H !H !H
The traceroute got as far as R2, which lets us know that R1 has the correct route to get to
R3, and the problem is probably between R2 and R3.
R2 has an interface connected to the 10.10.20.0/24 network, so we dont need to check it

has a route to R3. We do need to check that the interface is up though.
R2#sh ip int brief
FastEthernet0/0 10.10.10.2 YES NVRAM up up
FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES NVRAM administratively down down
FastEthernet1/0 10.10.20.2 YES NVRAM administratively down down

Theres the problem FastEthernet1/0 facing R3 is administratively shutdown. Lets fix it.
R2(config)#interface f1/0
R2(config-if)#no shut
Next well try pinging from R1 to R3 again to verify we fixed connectivity.
R1#ping 10.10.20.1
.!!!!
That looks better. Next well verify DNS is working.
R1#ping R3.flackbox.lab
Translating "R3.flackbox.lab"...domain server (10.10.10.1)

% Unrecognized host or address, or protocol not running.
The error message tells us the problem if we take the time to really read it R1 is using
10.10.10.1 as its DNS server, but the correct address is 10.10.20.1.
We fix that next.
Then test again.
Translating "R3.flackbox.lab"...domain server (10.10.10.1)

(10.10.20.1)
% Unrecognized host or address, or protocol not running.
The error message helps us again. First, we forgot to remove the incorrect DNS server
entry. Fix that first.
R1(config)#no ip name-server 10.10.10.1
We know we have connectivity and the DNS server configured correctly on R1, so the
problem looks like its on R3.
From R1, lets see if the DNS service is running on it.
R1#telnet 10.10.20.1 53
Trying 10.10.20.1, 53 ...
% Connection refused by remote host
It looks like DNS isnt running on R3. Lets check on R3.
R3#sh run | include dns

R3#
The DNS server command is missing. We fix that next.
R3(config)#ip dns server

And then check the rest of the DNS configuration.
R3#sh run
ip domain name flackbox.lab
ip host R1 10.10.10.1
ip host R2 10.10.10.2
ip host R3 10.10.20.1
ip host R1.flackbox.lab 10.10.10.1
ip name-server 10.10.20.1
!
ip dns server
!
truncated
That looks better. Time to test it from R1 again. We try telnet to port 53 first.
R1#telnet 10.10.20.1 53
Trying 10.10.20.1, 53 ... Open
[Connection to 10.10.20.1 closed by foreign host]
Open shows that R3 is listening on port 53. The final check is to verify by pinging by FQDN.
Translating "R3.flackbox.lab"...domain server (10.10.20.1) [OK]

!!!!!
Thats the problem solved.
To summarise the issues: port FastEthernet1/0 was shut down on R2, R1 was using the
wrong IP address for the DNS server, and the DNS service was not running on R3.
Problems in the real world are usually caused by just one error rather than three as in this
case. This can still occur though, particularly when a new service is being deployed.

16 Routing Fundamentals - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure and verify connected, local, static, summary and default routes.
You will also examine the effect of longest prefix match routing.
Connected and Local Routes
1) Configure the PCs with an IP address and default gateway according to the Lab
Topology diagram
PC1> ip 10.0.1.10 /24 10.0.1.1
PC2> ip 10.0.2.10 /24 10.0.2.1
PC3> ip 10.1.2.10 /24 10.1.2.1
R1(config)#int f0/0
R1(config-if)#int f1/0
3) Verify routes have been automatically added for the connected and local networks
(note that local routes only appear from IOS 15)
R1#sh ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route

C 10.0.0.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
L 10.0.0.1/32 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
Ping from PC1 to PC2 should be successful as both PCs are in networks which R1 is directly
connected to.
PC1> ping 10.0.2.10

84 bytes from 10.0.2.10 icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=58.045 ms
5) Verify the traffic path from PC1 to PC2.
The ping went via R1 at 10.0.1.1
PC1> trace 10.0.2.10

trace to 10.0.2.10, 8 hops max, press Ctrl+C to stop

R4(config)#ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2

R4(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
R4(config)#ip route 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
R4(config)#ip route 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
R4(config)#ip route 10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.2
9) Verify connectivity between PC1, PC2 and PC3.
Ping PC2 and PC3 from PC1.
PC1> ping 10.0.2.10

PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

Ping PC3 from PC2.
PC2> ping 10.1.2.10

Ping verifies two way reachability so we have now verified full connectivity.
10) Verify the path traffic takes from PC1 to PC3.
PC1> trace 10.1.2.10

1 10.0.1.1 9.006 ms 8.007 ms 8.005 ms
2 10.0.0.2 39.026 ms 30.026 ms 28.020 ms

unreachable)
The traffic goes via the path R1 > R2 > R3 > R4

Note that IP return traffic (PC3 to PC1 in this case) does not necessarily have to come back
along the same path, although it typically will.
Summary Routes
11) Remove all the static routes on R1
R1(config)#no ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.2

12) Verify that PC1 loses connectivity to PC3
PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

13) Restore connectivity to all subnets with a single command on R1.
A summary route to 10.1.0.0/16 will add all remote subnets with one command.
R1(config)#ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.0.2

14) Verify the routing table on R1 does not contain /24 routes to remote subnets.
R1#sh ip route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override

S 10.1.0.0/16 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2
15) Ensure that connectivity is restored between PC1 and PC3.
PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

Longest Prefix Match
R5(config)#int f2/0
R5(config-if)#ip add 10.1.3.2 255.255.255.0
R5(config-if)#ip add 10.0.3.2 255.255.255.0
17) Do not add any additional routes. Does PC1 have reachability to the FastEthernet
2/0 interface on R5? If so, which path will the traffic take?
The summary route on R1 to 10.1.0.0/16 will provide a route to R5 over the path R1 > R2 >
R3 > R4 > R5, but R5 does not have a route back to R1.
A ping from PC1 to 10.1.3.2 on R5 will fail.
PC1> ping 10.1.3.2

10.1.3.2 icmp_seq=1 timeout
Traceroute will show replies from R1 > R2 > R3 > R4 before failing.
PC1> trace 10.1.3.2

1 10.0.1.1 29.020 ms 9.004 ms 9.008 ms
2 10.0.0.2 29.524 ms 19.123 ms 18.012 ms

5 * * *
6 * * *
7 * * *
8 * * *
18) Ensure reachability over the shortest possible path from R5 to all directly connected
networks on R1. Achieve this with a single command.
Add a summary route on R5 for all the directly connected networks on R1.
R5(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.3.1
19) Verify the path traffic takes from PC1 to the FastEthernet 2/0 interface on R5.
PC1> trace 10.1.3.2

1 10.0.1.1 9.006 ms 9.007 ms 8.007 ms

unreachable)
Traffic takes the path R1 > R2 > R3 > R4 > R5
20) Verify the path the return traffic takes from R5 to PC1.
VRF info: (vrf in name/id, vrf out name/id)
1 10.0.3.1 16 msec 20 msec 20 msec
2 10.0.1.10 32 msec 28 msec 32 msec
Traffic takes the path R5 > R1. This shows that routers make independent decisions based
on their routing table and it is possible (though not common) for return traffic to take an
asynchronous path.
21) Ensure that traffic between PC1 and the FastEthernet 2/0 interface on R5 takes the
A route from R1 to the 10.1.3.0/24 network on R5 will achieve this.
R1(config)#ip route 10.1.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.3.2
Traffic to 10.1.3.0/24 will now match two routes in the routing table.
S 10.1.0.0/16 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2

S 10.1.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.0.3.2
The new route has a longer prefix match so will be preferred.

22) Verify that traffic between PC1 and the FastEthernet 2/0 interface on R5 takes the
PC1> ping 10.1.3.2

PC1> trace 10.1.3.2

Default Route and Load Balancing
23) Configure an IP address on the Internet FastEthernet 3/0 interface on R4 according

to the lab topology diagram.
R4(config)#int f3/0
R4(config-if)#ip add 203.0.113.1 255.255.255.0
24) Ensure that all PCs have a route out to the internet through the Internet Service
Provider connection on R4. (Note that the lab does not actually have Internet
connectivity.)
R1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.2
R2(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.0.1
R3(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
R4(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 203.0.113.2
R5(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.3.1

All routers should have a default route to the next hop IP on the path to the Internet.
R4#sh ip route
Gateway of last resort is 203.0.113.2 to network 0.0.0.0
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 203.0.113.2

S 10.0.0.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.1.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.2.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.1.0.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
25) Traffic from PC1 and PC2 going to the internet should be load balanced over R2 and
R5.
Add an additional default route on R1 to send Internet traffic via R5.
R1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.3.2
The routing table will show that R1 will load balance traffic over both paths.
R1#sh ip route
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.0.3.2

[1/0] via 10.0.0.2
S 10.1.0.0/16 [1/0] via 10.0.0.2
S 10.1.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.0.3.2
Add additional routes on R4 to load balance the return traffic to PC1 and PC2 from the
Internet.
R4(config)#ip route 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.3.2

R4(config)#ip route 10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.3.2
R4s routing table should show both paths back to 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24
R4#sh ip route
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 203.0.113.2

S 10.0.0.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.1.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.3.2
[1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.2.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.3.2
[1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.0.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2
S 10.1.0.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.2

*Jul 4 03:43:55.455: RIP: sending v1 update to 255.255.255.255 via
FastEthernet3/0 (10.0.3.1)
3) Enter the commands below to enable RIPv2 on every router.
router rip

4) What kind of traffic is used for the updates now?
The updates are being sent on the RIPv2 multicast address 224.0.0.9. Only RIPv2 routers
will process the packets beyond layer 3.
*Jul 4 03:48:09.175: RIP: sending v2 update to 224.0.0.9 via

FastEthernet3/0 (10.0.3.1)
5) Turn off all debugging on R1.
R1#undebug all
All possible debugging has been turned off
6) Check that RIP routes have been added to R1 and it has a route to every subnet in
the lab.
R1#show ip route

R 10.1.0.0/24 [120/1] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, FastEthernet0/0
[120/2] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:22, FastEthernet0/0
7) Why are there two routes to the 10.1.1.0/24 network in the routing table?
Two paths to 10.1.1.0/24 have an equal metric a hop count of 2. Both routes are installed
in the routing table and the router will perform Equal Cost Load Balancing between the next
hops of 10.0.3.2 and 10.0.0.2.
Comparing Routing Protocols
8) View the RIP database on R1.

9) Enter the commands below on each router to provision a basic OSPF configuration
and enable OSPF on every interface.
router ospf 1
network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
10) Are RIP routes included in the routing table on R1? Why or why not?
The RIP routes are replaced by OSPF because its Administrative Distance of 110 is
preferred to RIPs AD of 120.
R1#show ip route

O 10.1.0.0/24 [110/2] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:41, FastEthernet0/0
11) Why is there now only one route to the 10.1.1.0/24 network?
OSPF uses cost as its metric which takes into account interface bandwidth. The interfaces
on R5 have a configured bandwidth of 10Mbps. The interfaces along the top path of the
network topology all have the default FastEthernet bandwidth of 100Mbps so this route is
preferred. All traffic will go via the next hop 10.0.0.2.
R5#show run interface f3/0

!
interface FastEthernet3/0

end
12) Disable interface FastEthernet 0/0 on R2. What do you expect to happen to R1s
routing table?
OSPF will reconverge. The routes to the 10.1.0.0 networks via R2 will be removed from the
routing table and replaced with routes via R5.
R2(config)#interface fastEthernet 0/0

R2(config-if)#shutdown
13) Verify your expected changes to R1s routing table.
R1#sh ip route

14) Aside from the next hop address, what else has changed on the routing table?
The new routes have a higher metric. This is why they were not in the routing table when the
path via R2 was up.
R1#sh ip route

15) View the OSPF database on R1. What is different between it and the RIP database?
Why?
RIP is a Distance Vector routing protocol so it only knows its directly connected neighbors
and the lists of networks those neighbors have advertised.
OSPF is a Link State routing protocol so it knows the state of every link on every router in its
area.
R1#show ip ospf database

Routing Protocol Metrics and Administrative Distance
16) Enter the command below to remove OSPF on every router
no router ospf 1
17) Will R1 still have connectivity to R4?
Yes. RIP is still running so RIP routes will replace the removed OSPF routes in the routing
table.
R1#show ip route

A hop count of 2.
19) Why is there only one route on R1 to the 10.1.1.0/24 network now?
Interface FastEthernet 0/0 on R2 is still shut down so no routes go through it.
20) Make the required change so that there are two routes to the 10.1.1.0/24 network in
the routing table on R1.
21) Enter the commands below on each router to provision a basic EIGRP configuration
and enable EIGRP on every interface.
router eigrp 100

no auto-summary
network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255
22) What changes do you expect to see in the routing tables? Why?
The RIP routes will be replaced by EIGRP because its Administrative Distance of 90 is
preferred to RIPs AD of 120.
R1#show ip route

D 10.1.0.0/24 [90/30720] via 10.0.0.2, 00:03:44, FastEthernet0/0
A composite metric of 33280.
25) Why is there only one route to the 10.1.1.0/24 network on R1?
EIGRP uses a composite metric which takes into account interface bandwidth and delay.
The interfaces on R5 have a configured bandwidth of 10Mbps. The interfaces along the top
path of the network topology all have the default FastEthernet bandwidth of 100Mbps so this
route is preferred. All traffic will go via the next hop 10.0.0.2.
26) Disable RIP and EIGRP on R5 with the commands below.
R5(config)#no router rip

R5(config)#no router eigrp 100
27) Configure the network so that there is still connectivity between all subnets if the link
between R1 and R2 goes down. Accomplish this with six commands. Do not enable
EIGRP on R5 but note that the routing protocol is expected to be enabled there in the
future.
Floating static routes need to be added as a backup to the EIGRP routes. These routes
would normally be preferred to the route learned via EIGRP because static routes have a
better Administrative Distance of 1 by default. Set the AD to be higher than EIGRPs AD of
90.
R1(config)#ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.3.2 95
R2(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.0.1 95
R3(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.1.1 95
R4(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.3.2 95
R5(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.0.3.1 95

R5(config)#ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.1.3.1 95
R5 is not running EIGRP so it is not currently necessary to set the Administrative Distance
for its routes to 95. It is required to prevent the floating static routes from being preferred
when EIGRP is enabled in the future however.
Summary routes need to be used to accomplish the task in six commands.

28) What changes do you expect to see to the routing table on R1?
The summary route will be added to the routing table but not used because it has a prefix
length of /16, compared to the EIGRP routes which have a longer prefix length of /24.
If individual floating static routes had been added for each of the /24 destination networks
then these would not have appeared in the routing table (unless a link went down) because
EIGRP has a better Administrative Distance.
R1#sh ip route

S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.2

30) Verify that traffic from PC1 to PC3 still goes via R2.
PC1> trace 10.1.2.10

unreachable)
31) Shut down interface FastEthernet 0/0 on R2.
32) What changes do you expect to see on R1s routing table?
The EIGRP routes will be removed.

R1#show ip route

S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.2
34) Verify connectivity between PC1 and PC3.
PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

35) Verify the traffic goes via R5.
PC1> trace 10.1.2.10

1 10.0.1.1 9.005 ms 9.005 ms 9.008 ms

unreachable)
36) Bring interface FastEthernet 0/0 on R2 back up.
37) Enter the commands below on R5 to provision a basic EIGRP configuration and
enable EIGRP on every interface.

Loopback Interfaces
38) Configure loopback interface 0 on each router. Assign the IP address

192.168.0.x/32, where x is the router number (for example 192.168.0.3/32 on R3.)
R1(config)#interface loopback0
39) Is there connectivity to the loopback interfaces from the PCs? Why or why not?
There is no connectivity from the PCs to the loopback interfaces because they are not in the
routing tables of the routers (apart from the local loopback interface on each router). The
loopback interfaces are not in the routing tables because they are in the 192.168.0.0/24
range which has not been included in the routing protocol.
R1#sh ip route
S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.2

192.168.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C 192.168.0.1 is directly connected, Loopback0
40) Enter the commands below on each router to include the loopback interfaces in
EIGRP.

41) Verify the loopback interfaces are in the routing table on R1.
R1#sh ip route
S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.2

D 192.168.0.2 [90/156160] via 10.0.0.2, 00:00:17, FastEthernet0/0
42) Verify connectivity from PC1 to the loopback interface on R5.
PC1> ping 192.168.0.5

Adjacencies and Passive Interfaces
43) Enter the command below to verify that R1 has established EIGRP adjacencies with
R2 and R5.
R1#show ip eigrp neighbors
(sec) (ms) Cnt Num
1 10.0.3.2 Fa3/0 14 00:17:21 33 198 0 16
0 10.0.0.2 Fa0/0 11 00:19:21 36 216 0 32

44) Verify that traffic from R5 to the directly connected interfaces on R1 goes via the
FastEthernet 3/0 interface.
R5#show ip route
S 10.0.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.1

S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.1.3.1


45) Enter the commands below to configure the loopback interface and the link to R5 as
passive interfaces on R1.
R1(config-if)#router eigrp 100

R1(config-router)#passive-interface loopback0
R1(config-router)#passive-interface fastethernet3/0
46) What changes do you expect to see in the routing table on R5 and why?
The EIGRP adjacency between R1 and R5 will go down. All EIGRP routes via R1 will be
removed from the routing table and replaced with routes via R4.
Configuring the loopback interface as a passive interface on R1 does not affect any routing
tables but is a best practice.
47) Verify the expected changes to the routing table on R5.
R5#show ip route
S 10.0.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.0.3.1
S 10.1.0.0/16 [95/0] via 10.1.3.1



18 Connectivity Troubleshooting Lab Exercise
In this lab you will troubleshoot a connectivity issue and configure IP SLA.
Lab Topology
Download the 18 Connectivity Troubleshooting.gns3project file here. Open in GNS3 to load

the lab.
Troubleshoot Connectivity
1) Use ping to test connectivity from PC1 to PC3.
2) Use traceroute to determine where the problem is likely to be.
3) Determine the issue and fix it to restore connectivity between PC1 and PC3.
IP SLA Configuration
4) Configure IP SLA on R1 to verify that connectivity remains up from PC1s subnet to

PC3. 10 pings should be sent every minute and the task should run indefinitely.
5) How long does PC3 have to respond to the ping before it is marked as failed.
6) Leave the task to run for around a minute and then check for any connectivity
failures.
18 Connectivity Troubleshooting - Answer Key
In this lab you will troubleshoot a connectivity issue and configure IP SLA.
Troubleshoot Connectivity
1) Use ping to test connectivity from PC1 to PC3.
Connectivity is down.
PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

2) Use traceroute to determine where the problem is likely to be.
Traceroute is making it as far as 10.1.0.1 on R3 so that is a good place to continue

troubleshooting.
PC1> trace 10.1.2.10

1 10.0.1.1 16.013 ms 8.007 ms 8.507 ms
2 10.0.0.2 49.535 ms 30.019 ms 28.018 ms
3 10.1.0.1 49.533 ms 50.032 ms 49.533 ms
4 *10.1.0.1 49.532 ms (ICMP type:3, code:1, Destination host
unreachable)
3) Determine the issue and fix it to restore connectivity between PC1 and PC3.
The first thing to do is check that R3 has a route to PC3s network 10.1.2.0/24
R3#sh ip route

S 10.0.0.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.0.2
S 10.0.1.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.0.2
S 10.0.2.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.0.2
S 10.0.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.0.2
S 10.1.3.0/24 [1/0] via 10.1.1.1
The network is not in the routing table. From the show ip route command we can
also see that static routes are being used. We need to add a static route for the
10.1.2.0/24 network with R4 as the next hop.
R3(config)#ip route 10.1.2.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1

Lastly we need to verify connectivity is restored.
PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

IP SLA Configuration
4) Configure IP SLA on R1 to verify that connectivity remains up from PC1s subnet to

PC3. 10 pings should be sent every minute and the task should run indefinitely.
Use the interface on PC1s subnet as the source interface and set the ping to be sent every
6 seconds.
R1(config)#ip sla 1
R1(config-ip-sla)#icmp-echo 10.1.2.10 source-ip 10.0.1.1

19-1 RIP Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will configure the RIPv2 routing protocol.
Lab Topology
Download the 19-1 RIP Configuration.gns3project file here. Open in GNS3 to load the lab.
RIP Configuration
1) Enable RIPv2 on every router. Ensure all networks except 203.0.113.0/24 are
advertised. Do not perform any summarisation.
2) Verify all networks are in the routers routing tables.
3) Enable summarisation using a /16 mask on the routers which are at the boundary of
the 10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16 networks.
4) What change do you expect to see on R1s routing table? Verify this (give the routing
table a couple of minutes to converge).
5) Will R4s routes to the 10.0.x.x networks mirror R1s routes to the 10.1.x.x networks?
Verify this.
6) Verify that routing is working by checking that PC1 has connectivity to PC3.
7) Ensure that all routers have a route to the 203.0.113.0/24 network. Internal routes
must not advertised to the Service Provider at 203.0.113.2.
8) Verify that all routers have a path to the 203.0.113.0/24 network.
9) Configure a default static route on R4 to the Internet via the service provider at
203.0.113.2
10) Ensure that all other routers learn via RIP how to reach the Internet.
11) Verify all routers have a route to the Internet.
12) Set the RIP timers to half their current settings on all routers.
19-1 RIP Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure the RIPv2 routing protocol.
RIP Configuration
1) Enable RIPv2 on every router. Ensure all networks except 203.0.113.0/24 are
advertised. Do not perform any summarisation.
On every router:
R1(config)#router rip
R1(config-router)#version 2
R1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0
2) Verify all networks are in the routers routing tables.
R1#show ip route

the 10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16 networks.
Configure summarisation in both directions on the R2 and R5 routers.
R2(config)#int f0/0
R2(config-if)#ip summary-address rip 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
R2(config)#int f1/0
R5(config)#int f3/0
R5(config)#int f2/0
table a couple of minutes to converge).
R1 will have a single /16 summary route to the 10.1.0.0 networks rather than individual /24
routes. The routes will use Equal Cost Multi Path through routers R2 and R5.
Before summarisation with individual /24 routes:
R1#show ip route

After summarisation with ECMP /16 summarised routes:
R1#sh ip route

Verify this.
No. R4 will have a 10.0.0.0/16 summary route with a single next hop of 10.1.3.2 on R5 and a
hop count of 1. It will not load balance traffic through R2 as well because that path would
have a hop count of 2. (R4 is not directly adjacent to R2 as R1 is, it is an extra hop away.)
R4#sh ip route

PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

must not be advertised to the Service Provider at 203.0.113.2.
The 203.0.113.0/24 network must be added to the RIP process on R4, and interface
FastEthernet 3/0 facing the service provider configured as a passive interface to avoid
sending out internal network information.
R4(config-router)#passive-interface f3/0
R1#sh ip route

203.0.113.2
R4(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 203.0.113.2
10) Ensure that all other routers learn via RIP how to reach the Internet.
Inject the default static route into RIP on R4.
R4(config-router)#default-information originate
R1#sh ip route
R* 0.0.0.0/0 [120/2] via 10.0.3.2, 00:00:05, FastEthernet3/0

12) Set the RIP timers to half their current settings on all routers.
Check the current timers first.
R1#sh ip protocols | include seconds

Sending updates every 30 seconds, next due in 14 seconds
Invalid after 180 seconds, hold down 180, flushed after 240
On all routers:

20-1 EIGRP Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will configure the EIGRP routing protocol.
Lab Topology
Download the 20-1 EIGRP Configuration.gns3project file here. Open in GNS3 to load the
lab.
EIGRP Basic Configuration
1) Enable EIGRP AS 100 on every router. Ensure all networks except 203.0.113.0/24
are advertised.
2) Enable a loopback interface on each router. Use the IP address 192.168.0.x/32,

where x is the router number. For example 192.168.0.3/32 on R3.
3) What do you expect the EIGRP Router ID to be on R1? Verify this.
4) Verify the routers have formed adjacencies with each other.
5) Verify all 10.x.x.x networks are in the routers routing tables.

Verify this.
10) Remove the summary routes on the routers which are at the boundary of the
10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16 networks.
Successors and Feasible Successors
11) There are two possible paths which R1 could use to reach the 10.1.2.0/24 network
either through R2 or R5. Which route is in the routing table?
12) What are the Reported Distance and Feasible Distance of the path to 10.1.2.0/24?
13) Is the other path a feasible successor?
14) What are the Reported Distance and Feasible Distance of the other path?
EIGRP Metric
15) Traffic from R1 to the 10.1.2.0/24 network takes the path via R5. Change this to go
via R2 instead. The path via R5 must be a Feasible Successor.
16) Verify that traffic to the 10.1.2.0/24 network from R1 goes via R2.
17) Verify that the path via R5 is a Feasible Successor.
Default Route Injection
203.0.113.2
21) Ensure that all other routers learn via EIGRP how to reach the Internet.

20-1 EIGRP Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure the EIGRP routing protocol.
EIGRP Basic Configuration
1) Enable EIGRP AS 100 on every router. Ensure all networks except 203.0.113.0/24

On every router:


R1(config-if)#ip add 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255
The Router ID is 10.0.3.1. This was the highest IP address on the router when EIGRP was
enabled. The Router ID will change to the Loopback address 192.168.0.1 when the EIGRP
process restarts.

table a few seconds to converge).
R1 will have a single /16 summary route to the 10.1.0.0 networks rather than individual /24
routes. The routes will use Equal Cost Multi Path through routers R2 and R5.
Before summarisation with individual /24 routes:
R1#sh ip route


After summarisation with ECMP /16 summarised route:
R1#sh ip route

Verify this.
No. R4 will have a 10.0.0.0/16 summary route with a single next hop of 10.1.3.2 on R5. It will
not load balance traffic through R2 as well because that path would have a higher metric.
(R4 is not directly adjacent to R2 as R1 is, it is an extra hop away.)
R4#sh ip route

PC1> ping 10.1.2.10

10) Remove the summary routes on the routers which are at the boundary of the
10.0.0.0/16 and 10.1.0.0/16 networks.
Individual routes for all networks will be restored in the routing tables.

Use the show ip eigrp topology all-links to see information on Non-Successor Routes.
The Reported Distance is 33280, The Feasible Distance is 35840.
The Reported Distance from R2 (33280) is not less than the Feasible Distance of the
Successor Route via R5 (also 33280), so it is not a Feasible Successor.

15) Traffic from R1 to the 10.1.2.0/24 network takes the path via R5. Change this to go
via R2 instead. The path via R5 must be a Feasible Successor.
All interfaces have a delay of 100 usec.
R1#sh interface f3/0

Internet address is 10.0.3.1/24
MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit/sec, DLY 100 usec,
Increasing the delay on the links via R5 will cause the route via R2 to be preferred. Note you
could alternatively reduce the delay on the links via R2. You could also have changed the
bandwidth configured on the links, but changing delay is the recommended method.
I double the delay to 200 usec (note the command is delay 20, not 200). You need to set the
delay high enough that the path to R2 will have a better metric, but not too high because we
need the path via R5 to have a low enough Reported Distance to be a Feasible Successor.

In this lab you will configure the OSPF routing protocol.
OSPF Basic Configuration

On every router:
2) Enable single area OSPF on every router. Ensure all networks except 203.0.113.0/24
are advertised.
On every router:
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#network 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 area 0
You can use different network statements, as long as they cover the range of IP addresses
configured on the router interfaces.
The loopback address is used for the Router ID, 192.168.0.1

5) Verify all 10.x.x.x networks and loopbacks are in the routers routing tables.
R1#sh ip route

6) Set the reference bandwidth so that a 100 Gbps interface will have a cost of 1.
Remember to do this on all routers.
R1(config-router)#auto-cost reference-bandwidth 100000
7) What will the OSPF cost be on the FastEthernet links? Verify this.
OSPF Cost = Reference bandwidth / Interface bandwidth.

100000 / 100 = 1000

8) What effect does this have on the cost to the 10.1.2.0/24 network from R1?
The cost changes from 3 to 3000.

Before reference bandwidth change:
R1#sh ip route

After reference bandwidth change:
R1#sh ip route

OSPF Cost
The path via R5 at 10.0.3.2.
R1#sh ip route

10) Change this so that traffic from R1 to 10.1.2.0/24 will be load balanced via both R2
and R5.
Since we changed the reference bandwidth, all interfaces have a cost of 1000. The current
path from R1 > R5 > R4 has a cost of 3000 (the cost of the destination interface itself is also
counted in the total cost).
The path from R1 > R2 > R3 > R4 has a cost of 4000.
The easiest way to configure both paths to have the same cost is to configure the links from
R1 > R5 and R5 > R4 to have a cost of 1500 each. (R1 > R5 = 1500, plus R5 > R4 = 1500,
plus cost of 10.1.2.0/24 interface on R4 = 1000. Total = 4000).
R1(config)#int f3/0
R1(config-if)#ip ospf cost 1500
R5(config)#int f2/0
R5(config-if)# ip ospf cost 1500
R5(config)#int f3/0
R4(config)#int f2/0
11) Verify that traffic to the 10.1.2.0/24 network from R1 is load balanced via both R2
and R5.
R1#sh ip route

The 203.0.113.0/24 network must be added to the OSPF process on R4, and interface
R1#sh ip route

Multi-Area OSPF
17) Convert the network to use multi-area OSPF. R3 and R4 should be backbone
routers, R1 a normal router in Area 1, and R2 and R5 ABRs as shown in the diagram
below.
R3 and R4 require no change as all their interfaces are already in Area 0.
R1s interfaces need to be reconfigured to be in Area 1 rather than Area 0.

R1#sh ip ospf neighbor
20) What change do you expect to see on R1s routing table? Verify this (give the
routing table a few seconds to converge).
The networks beyond R2 and R5 will appear as Inter Area routes (apart from the default
route which will appear as an external route as it was redistributed into OSPF).
R1#sh ip route

O IA 10.1.0.0/24 [110/2000] via 10.0.0.2, 00:10:20, FastEthernet0/0
O IA 192.168.0.2 [110/1001] via 10.0.0.2, 00:10:20, FastEthernet0/0
21) Do you see less routes in R1s routing table? Why or why not?
R1 has the same amount of routes in its routing table because OSPF does not perform
automatic summarisation. You must configure manual summarisation to reduce the size of
the routing table.
22) Configure summary routes on the Area Border Routers for the 10.0.0.0/16 and
10.1.0.0/16 networks.
R2(config-router)#area 0 range 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0
R5(config-if)#router ospf 1
23) Verify R1 now sees a single summary route for 10.1.0.0/16 rather than individual
routes for the 10.1.x.x networks.
R1#sh ip route

24) Verify R1 is receiving a summary route for the 10.1.0.0/16 network from both R2 and
R5.

24-1 DHCP Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will perform a DHCP configuration for a small campus network. You will
configure a routers outside interface as a DHCP client. You will then set up DCHP services,
using a Cisco router first and then an external DHCP server. The external DHCP server is
inside the campus LAN but outside the router.
Note that the external DHCP server at 10.10.20.10 will not be used until the last part of the
lab.
Lab Topology
Download the 24-1 DHCP Configuration.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load the lab.
Cisco DHCP Client
1) You have not acquired a static public IP address from the Internet service provider.
Configure the outside interface FastEthernet 0/0 on R1 to receive its IP address
using DHCP. The Service Provider is already configured and you have no access to
it.
2) Verify that R1 received its public IP address via DHCP (you may need to wait a few
minutes for the address to be assigned).
3) What is the IP address of R1s DHCP server?
Cisco DHCP Server
4) Enable the DHCP service on R1 so it gives out IP addresses to the PCs in the
10.10.10.0/24 subnet. Leave IP addresses 10.10.10.1 10 free to be assigned to
servers and printers. 10.10.20.10 is the DNS server.
5) Verify the clients received their IP information via DHCP.
6) Verify the clients can ping the DNS server by its hostname DNSserver (it might take
some time for DNS to resolve the hostname).
7) On R1, verify both clients received an IP address via DHCP.
8) Cleanup remove the DHCP server configuration on R1. You will use an external
DHCP server instead in the next section.
9) Enter the command ipconfig /release on the PCs to release their IP addresses.
10) Enter the command ipconfig /renew on the PCs and verify they can no longer
obtain an IP address via DHCP
External DHCP Server
11) The server at 10.10.20.10 has been configured as a DHCP server with a scope of IP
addresses for the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet, but the PCs there are not receiving IP
addresses. Why is this?
12) Configure the network to allow the PCs to receive their IP addresses from the DHCP
server.

External DHCP Server
11) The server at 10.10.20.10 has been configured as a DHCP server with a scope of IP
addresses for the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet, but the PCs there are not receiving IP
addresses. Why is this?
DHCP requests use broadcast traffic. R1 is not forwarding the requests on to the DHCP
server as routers do not forward broadcast traffic by default.
12) Configure the network to allow the PCs to receive their IP addresses from the DHCP
server.
On the interface where they are received, configure the router to forward DHCP requests to
the server.

25-1 HSRP Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will configure and test HSRP for a small campus network.
Lab Topology
Download the 25-1 HSRP Configuration.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load the lab.
Basic HSRP
1) Configure basic HSRP for the 10.10.10.0/24 network using the IP addresses shown
in the topology diagram.
2) Wait for HSRP to come up on both routers and then check which is the active router.
3) Verify that the PCs can ping their default gateway using the HSRP address
10.10.10.1.
4) Verify that the PCs have upstream connectivity via their HSRP default gateway. Ping
SP1 at 203.0.113.1
5) What is the MAC address on the physical interface of the active router?
6) What is the MAC address of the HSRP virtual interface?
7) Verify the PCs are using the virtual MAC address for their default gateway.
Priority and Pre-emption
8) Configure HSRP so that R1 will be the preferred router. Use a single command.
9) Which router do you expect will be active now? Verify this.
10) Ensure that R1 is the active router. Do not reboot.

Test HSRP
11) Run a continuous ping to the HSRP IP address from PC1 with the ping 10.10.10.1
n 1000 command.
12) Save the configuration on R1 then reboot.
13) View the ping output on PC1. You should see a few dropped pings as R2 transitions
to active following the outage of R1.
14) Verify R2 has transitioned to HSRP active.
15) Wait for R1 to complete booting and HSRP to come up. Verify R1 transitions to
HSRP active because pre-emption is enabled.
16) Hit Ctrl-C to cancel the ping on PC1. If you scroll back you should see a dropped
ping or two as R1 transitioned back to HSRP active.
25-1 HSRP Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure and test HSRP for a small campus network.
Basic HSRP
1) Configure basic HSRP for the 10.10.10.0/24 network using the IP addresses shown
in the topology diagram.
Check to see if the physical IP addresses for the HSRP interface GigabitEthernet0/1 have
been configured on R1 and R2.
They havent been configured yet so correct that. Well do R1 first.
R1(config)#interface g0/1
Then add the virtual IP address.
R1(config-if)#standby 1 ip 10.10.10.1
Repeat on R2. Use a different physical address and the same virtual IP address.
R2(config-if)#standby 1 ip 10.10.10.1
2) Wait for HSRP to come up on both routers and then check which is the active router.
Both routers have the same default priority so the router with the highest IP address will be
preferred. If you complete the configuration on both routers before HSRP comes up then R2
will be active.
R1#show standby
GigabitEthernet0/1 - Group 1
State is Standby
7 state changes, last state change 00:16:34

MAC addresses may be different in your lab.
6) What is the MAC address of the HSRP virtual interface?
R2#show standby
State is Active
Preemption disabled
Active router is local
Standby router is 10.10.10.2
7) Verify the PCs are using the virtual MAC address for their default gateway.
Priority and Pre-emption
8) Configure HSRP so that R1 will be the preferred router. Use a single command.
R1(config-if)#standby 1 priority 110
9) Which router do you expect will be active now? Verify this.
R2 will remain active because we didnt configure pre-emption.
R1#show standby
State is Standby
Preemption disabled
Active router is 10.10.10.3
Standby router is local
Priority 110 (configured 110)
10) Ensure that R1 is the active router. Do not reboot.
R1(config)#int g0/1
R1(config-if)#standby 1 preempt
R1#show standby
State is Active
Preemption enabled
Standby router is 10.10.10.3, priority 100 (expires in 8 sec)
Test HSRP
11) Run a continuous ping to the HSRP IP address from PC1 with the ping 10.10.10.1
n 1000 command.
12) Save the configuration on R1 then reboot.
R1#copy run start

[OK]
R1#reload
13) View the ping output on PC1. You should see a few dropped pings as R2 transitions
to active following the outage of R1.
14) Verify R2 has transitioned to HSRP active.
R2#show standby
State is Active
Preemption disabled
Standby router is unknown, priority 110
15) Wait for R1 to complete booting and HSRP to come up. Verify R1 transitions to
HSRP active because pre-emption is enabled.
R1#show standby
State is Active
Preemption enabled
Standby router is 10.10.10.3
16) Hit Ctrl-C to cancel the ping on PC1. If you scroll back you should see a dropped
ping or two as R1 transitioned back to HSRP active.
26-1 Spanning Tree Troubleshooting Lab Exercise
Spanning Tree is enabled by default. In this lab you will troubleshoot Spanning Tree for a
small campus network.
Lab Topology
IMPORTANT: Before loading the lab exercise, disable Show Link Lights in Packet Tracer.
(You can change it back at the end of the lab.)
In Packet Tracer, click Options > Preferences
On the Interface tab, uncheck Show Link Lights
Download the 26-1 STP Troubleshooting.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load the
lab.
Troubleshooting the Spanning Tree Protocol
1) The Network Operations Centre has reported that traffic is not following the most
direct path from the branch office PCs to the Internet. Your task at this stage is to
verify this.
Your task is to report which path traffic is currently taking from both PC1 and
PC2 to 203.0.113.9. Do not change any configuration.
26-1 Spanning Tree Troubleshooting - Answer Key
In this lab you will troubleshoot Spanning Tree for a small campus network.
Troubleshooting the Spanning Tree Protocol
1) The Network Operations Centre has reported that traffic is not following the most
direct path from the branch office PCs to the Internet. Your task at this stage is to
verify this.
Your task is to report which path traffic is currently taking from both PC1 and
PC2 to 203.0.113.9. Do not change any configuration.
There is not a set order of actions to troubleshoot this scenario. Troubleshooting in a logical
fashion will however make it easier and quicker. This is how I would do it.
Check which router is the HSRP active gateway for the 10.10.10.0/24 network.
R1#show standby
State is Active
Preemption enabled
Standby router is 10.10.10.3, priority 100 (expires in 7 sec)
R1 has been preconfigured with a higher HSRP priority and pre-emption enabled.
Check the PCs have connectivity to 203.0.113.9. Ping from both PCs.
Check which Layer 3 path the PCs are using to get to 203.0.113.9. Run traceroute on
both PCs.
The PCs are taking the most direct path via their HSRP default gateway to get to
203.0.113.9. The Layer 3 configuration and operations all look good.
Check which VLAN the PCs are in on the Acc3 and Acc4 switches.
The PCs are in the Eng VLAN 10.
On CD1 and CD2, check the switch ports connecting to the routers have also been
configured as access ports in VLAN 10.
CD1#sh run
! truncated
switchport access vlan 10
switchport mode access
On all switches, check the interfaces connecting switches have been configured as
trunks with matching native VLANs.
CD1#sh run
! truncated
!
switchport trunk native vlan 199
switchport mode trunk
!
!
The existing HSRP and VLAN configuration looks good.
The next thing to verify is Spanning Tree. One of the central core/distribution
switches should be used as the Root Bridge to ensure Layer 2 traffic uses the most
direct path over the network.
Check the Spanning Tree topology for VLAN 10 on switch Acc3.
Acc3 is the Root Bridge. That is not good. Check to see if this is because it has a
configured Bridge Priority.
Acc3#sh run | include priority

Acc3#
Bridge Priority has not been configured on Acc3. Check the other switches.
CD1#sh run | include priority

CD1#
CD2#sh run | include priority

CD2#
Acc4#sh run | include priority

Acc4#
Bridge Priority has not been configured anywhere so the switch with the lowest
MAC address should be selected as the Root Bridge.
We learned that Acc3s MAC address is 0001.C962.D43D from the output of the
show spanning tree vlan 10 command we ran on it.
Verify that all switches have matching Spanning Tree Root Bridge information. They
should all have the same default Bridge Priority value (as one was not manually
set), and agree that Acc3 has the lowest MAC address and is the Root Bridge.
CD1s MAC address is 0090.0CA0.3902. It agrees that Acc3 is the Root Bridge.
CD2s MAC address is 0090.0C16.7A9B. It agrees that Acc3 is the Root Bridge.
Acc4s MAC address is 0060.708A.D564. It agrees that Acc3 is the Root Bridge.
We were asked to report on the forwarding paths currently being used. Use the
output of the show spanning-tree vlan 10 commands on each switch to diagram
the Spanning Tree.
Acc3 is the Root Bridge so all its ports are Designated Ports.
Add each switchs Root Port to the diagram. The Port value in the Root ID section
of the show spanning-tree vlan 10 output shows this information.
The port on the other side of Root Ports is always a Designated Port. Label F0/24
on CD2 as a Designated Port in the diagram.
The links which are left must be blocking. These are CD1 G0/2 to CD2 G0/2, and
CD1 F0/21 to Acc4 F0/21. Check which side is blocking from the output of the
show spanning-tree vlan 10 commands.
CD1 G0/2 is the blocking Alternate port, CD2 G0/2 is the forwarding Designated
Port.
CD1 F0/21 is the forwarding Designated Port, Acc4 F0/21 is the blocking Alternate
port.
Add this information to the diagram.

By removing the blocking links from the diagram we can see the Spanning Tree.
We can see that PC1 will take the path PC1 > Acc3 > CD1 > R1 to reach its HSRP
default gateway. This is the most direct path and is good.
The end to end path from PC1 to 203.0.113.9 is PC1 > Acc3 > CD1 > R1 > SP1
PC2 however will use the path PC2 > Acc4 > CD2 > Acc3 > CD1 > R1. This is not
the most direct path as traffic is transiting CD2 and Acc3 rather than going directly
over the link from Acc4 to CD1.
The end to end path from PC2 to 203.0.113.9 is PC2 > Acc4 > CD2 > Acc3 >
CD1 > R1 > SP1
We can verify the path being used by checking the MAC address tables on the
switches. First verify the HSRP virtual MAC address.
R1#sh standby
State is Active
Then clear the ARP cache on PC2, and ping the virtual MAC address to generate
traffic.
Then check the MAC address table on Acc4.
We can see that the HSRP virtual MAC address 0000.0c07.ac01 is reached
through interface F0/24 to CD2, rather than on the direct link to CD1 over interface
F0/21.
We can go hop by hop using the show mac address-table command to verify the
traffic path end to end across the switched network.
27-1 EtherChannel Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will configure Etherchannel links in a campus LAN.
Lab Topology
Download the 27-1 EtherChannel Configuration.pkt file here. Open in Packet Tracer to load
the lab.
LACP EtherChannel Configuration
1) The access layer switches Acc3 and Acc4 both have two FastEthernet uplinks. How
much total bandwidth is available between the PCs attached to Acc3 and the PCs
attached to Acc4?
2) Convert the existing uplinks from Acc3 to CD1 and CD2 to LACP EtherChannel.
Configure descriptions on the port channel interfaces to help avoid confusion later.
3) Verify the EtherChannels come up.
PAgP EtherChannel Configuration
4) Convert the existing uplinks from Acc4 to CD1 and CD2 to PAgP EtherChannel.
(Note that in a real world environment you should always use LACP if possible.)
Static EtherChannel Configuration
6) Convert the existing uplinks between CD1 and CD2 to static EtherChannel.
7) Verify the EtherChannel comes up.
8) How much total bandwidth is available between the PCs attached to Acc3 and the
PCs attached to Acc4 now?
27-1 EtherChannel Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure EtherChannel links in a campus LAN.
LACP EtherChannel Configuration
1) The access layer switches Acc3 and Acc4 both have two FastEthernet uplinks. How
much total bandwidth is available between the PCs attached to Acc3 and the PCs
attached to Acc4?
Spanning tree shuts down all but one uplink on both switches so the total bandwidth
available between them is a single FastEthernet link 100 Mbps.
2) Convert the existing uplinks from Acc3 to CD1 and CD2 to LACP EtherChannel.
Configure descriptions on the port channel interfaces to help avoid confusion later.
The uplinks go to two separate redundant switches at the core/distribution layer so we need
to configure two EtherChannels, one to CD1 and one to CD2.
Well configure the Acc3 side of the EtherChannel to CD1 first. Dont forget to set the native
VLAN on the new port channel interface.
Acc3(config)#interface range f0/23 - 24

Acc3(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode active
Acc3(config-if-range)#exit
Acc3(config)#interface port-channel 1
Acc3(config-if)#description Link to CD1
Acc3(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
Acc3(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 199
Then configure switch CD1 with matching settings.
CD1(config)#interface range f0/23 - 24

CD1(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode active
CD1(config-if-range)#exit
CD1(config)#interface port-channel 1
CD1(config-if)#description Link to Acc3
CD1(config-if)#switchport mode trunk
CD1(config-if)#switchport trunk native vlan 199
Next configure the Acc3 side of the EtherChannel to CD2. Remember to use a different port
channel number.

Acc3(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode active

CD2(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode active
CD2(config-if)#description Link to Acc3
The port channels should show flags (SU) (Layer 2, in use) with member ports (P) (in port-
channel). Verify on both sides of the port channel.
Acc3:
CD1:
CD2:
PAgP EtherChannel Configuration
4) Convert the existing uplinks from Acc4 to CD1 and CD2 to PAgP EtherChannel.
(Note that in a real world environment you should always use LACP if possible.)
Its good practice to use the same port channel number on both sides of the link. CD1 is
already using port channel 1 to Acc3, and CD2 is using port channel 2 to Acc3. From Acc4
to CD1 well use port channel 2, and from Acc4 to CD2 well use port channel 1.
Well configure the Acc4 side of the EtherChannel to CD2 first.

Acc4(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode desirable

CD2(config-if-range)#channel-group 1 mode desirable
Acc3(config-if)#description Link to Acc4
Next configure the Acc4 side of the EtherChannel to CD1. Remember to use a different port
channel number.

Acc4(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode desirable

CD1(config-if-range)#channel-group 2 mode desirable
Acc3(config-if)#description Link to Acc4
The port channels should show flags (SU) (Layer 2, in use) with member ports (P) (in port-
channel). Verify on both sides of the port channel.
On the core/distribution layer switches you should see both the LACP and PAgP port
channels up.
Acc4:
CD1:
CD2:
Static EtherChannel Configuration
6) Convert the existing uplinks between CD1 and CD2 to static EtherChannel.
Port channels 1 and 2 are already in use so well use port channel 3.
Configure the CD1 side first.
CD1(config)#interface range g0/1 - 2

CD1(config-if-range)#channel-group 3 mode on
CD2(config)#interface range g0/1 - 2

CD2(config-if-range)#channel-group 3 mode on
7) Verify the EtherChannel comes up.
CD1:
CD2:
8) How much total bandwidth is available between the PCs attached to Acc3 and the
PCs attached to Acc4 now?
The port channels from the Acc3 and Acc4 switches towards the root bridge CD1 are up and
forwarding. Spanning tree shuts down the port channels toward CD2 to prevent a loop.
The port channels from Acc3 and Acc4 facing the root bridge comprise two FastEthernet
interfaces, so the total bandwidth available between the PCs attached to the different access
layer switches is 200 Mbps.

Port Security Configuration
2) Configure port security on interface FastEthernet 0/1. Allow a maximum of two MAC
addresses and manually add PC1s MAC address to the configuration.
We need to discover PC1s MAC address. We can get this information from the PC itself or
from the switch. Use ipconfig /all to find it on the PC.
Use show mac address-table to find it on the switch. Use ping to generate some traffic from
the PC if it does not show up in the MAC address table.
You need to make the interface an access port before the switch will accept Port Security
configuration. No VLANs are configured on the switch or specified in the lab task so leave it
in the default VLAN 1.
Add the Port Security configuration.
SW1(config-if)#switchport port-security
SW1(config-if)#switchport port-security maximum 2
SW1(config-if)#switchport port-security mac-address 0000.1111.1111
3) Enable Port Security on interface FastEthernet 0/2 with the default settings.
SW1(config-if)#switchport port-security
4) Use a show port-security command to verify the MAC address on PC2.
You may have to ping from PC2 first to generate some traffic.
PC2s MAC address is 0000.2222.2222

5) Verify the full Port Security configuration on both interfaces.

Numbered Standard ACL
1) Verify that all PCs have connectivity to each other, to R1 and to R2.
2) Configure and apply a numbered standard ACL on R1 which denies traffic from all
hosts in the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet to R2.
The PCs in the 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 subnets must maintain connectivity to
each other.
The PCs in the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet must maintain connectivity to R2.
3) Test that traffic is secured exactly as required.
Verify PC1 and PC2 can ping R2.

PC3 cannot ping R2.
PC3 can ping PC1 and PC2.
Numbered Extended ACL
4) Configure and apply a numbered extended ACL on R1 which permits Telnet access
from PC1 to R2. Telnet to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the network.
All other connectivity must be maintained.

Do not change the existing ACL.
Telnet access has already been enabled on R2. The password is Flackbox
5) Test that traffic is secured exactly as required. Use the command telnet 10.0.0.2
from the PCs to test and the password Flackbox. Type exit to leave the Telnet
session.
Verify that PC1 can ping and Telnet to R2.

PC2 can ping R2 but not Telnet to it.
PC3 cannot ping or Telnet to R2.
The PCs can all ping each other.
6) How many Telnet packets were permitted by the ACL?

Named Extended ACL
7) Remove the numbered extended ACL you just configured from the interface. Do not
delete the ACL.
8) Configure and apply a named extended ACL on R1 as follows:
Permit Telnet from PC1 to R2. Telnet to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the
network.
Permit ping from PC2 to R2. Ping to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the
network.
Verify that PC1 cannot ping R2 but can Telnet to it.

PC2 can ping R2 but cannot Telnet to it.
29-1 ACL Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure standard and extended Access Control Lists.
PC1, PC2 and PC3 are Cisco IOS routers mimicking end hosts. They have been configured
with IP addresses and a default static route to R1 as their default gateway.
Numbered Standard ACL
1) Verify that all PCs have connectivity to each other, to R1 and to R2.
From PC1, ping PC2, PC3, R1 and R2.
PC1#ping 10.0.1.11
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.1.11,
timeout is 2 seconds:
.!!!!
Success rate is 80 percent (4/5), round-trip
min/avg/max = 8/19/40 ms
PC1#ping 10.0.2.10
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.2.10,
!!!!!
PC1#ping 10.0.1.1
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.1.1, t
imeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
PC1#ping 10.0.0.2
!!!!!
We have already verified connectivity between the PCs in both subnets. Ping R1 and R2
from PC3.
PC3#ping 10.0.2.1
!!!!!
PC3#ping 10.0.0.2
!!!!!
2) Configure and apply a numbered standard ACL on R1 which denies traffic from all
hosts in the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet to R2.
The PCs in the 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 subnets must maintain connectivity to
each other.
The PCs in the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet must maintain connectivity to R2.
The task specifies that a numbered standard ACL be used on R1. This checks the source
address only. This prevents us from configuring an ACL inbound on the F2/0 interface which
denies traffic to R2 but permits it to the 10.0.1.0/24 network that would require an extended
ACL.
The only way the task can be completed is by applying the ACL outbound on the F0/0
interface facing R2.
Configure a numbered standard ACL that denies traffic from 10.0.2.0/24. Do not forget to
permit from 10.0.1.0/24 as the implicit deny any at the end of the ACL would block the traffic
otherwise.
R1(config)#access-list 1 deny 10.0.2.0 0.0.0.255

R1(config)#access-list 1 permit 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255
Do not forget to apply the ACL to the interface.
R1(config-if)#ip access-group 1 out
Verify PC1 and PC2 can ping R2.

PC3 cannot ping R2.
PC3 can ping PC1 and PC2.
PC1 and PC2 should be able to ping R2.
PC1#ping 10.0.0.2
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 40/44/60

PC3 should not be able to ping R2.
PC3#ping 10.0.0.2
UUUUU
PC3 should be able to ping PC1 and PC2.
PC3#ping 10.0.1.10
!!!!!
ms
PC3#ping 10.0.1.11
!!!!!
ms
Numbered Extended ACL
4) Configure and apply a numbered extended ACL on R1 which permits Telnet access
from PC1 to R2. Telnet to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the network.

Do not change the existing ACL.
Telnet access has already been enabled on R2. The password is Flackbox
All traffic from the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet to R2 is already denied by the numbered standard ACL
we configured.
We need to create an ACL which will allow Telnet traffic to R2 at 10.0.0.2 from PC1 at
10.0.1.10 but deny it from all other hosts in the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet.
The implicit deny all at the end of the ACL would block Telnet traffic from the other hosts to
R2, but it would also block all other traffic from the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet including other
applications to R2 and traffic to the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet. We need to explicitly block the Telnet
traffic but allow other traffic.
R1(config)#access-list 100 permit tcp host 10.0.1.10 host 10.0.0.2

eq telnet
R1(config)#access-list 100 deny tcp 10.0.1.0 0.0.0.255 host 10.0.0.2
eq telnet
R1(config)#access-list 100 permit ip any any
The access list should be applied as close to the source as possible, so apply it inbound on
interface F1/0. We already have an outbound ACL on F0/0 so we could not apply it there
anyway.
R1(config-if)#ip access-group 100 in
5) Test that traffic is secured exactly as required. Use the command telnet 10.0.0.2
from the PCs to test and the password Flackbox. Type exit to leave the Telnet
session.
Verify that PC1 can ping and Telnet to R2.

PC2 can ping R2 but not Telnet to it.
PC1 should be able to Telnet to R2.

7) Remove the numbered extended ACL you just configured from the interface. Do not
delete the ACL.
R1(config)#int f1/0
R1(config-if)#no ip access-group 100 in
8) Configure and apply a named extended ACL on R1 as follows:
Permit Telnet from PC1 to R2. Telnet to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the
network.
Permit ping from PC2 to R2. Ping to R2 must be denied for all other PCs in the
network.
All traffic from the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet to R2 is already denied by the numbered standard ACL
we configured.
We do need to configure an ACL to secure traffic from the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet.
R1(config)#ip access-list extended F1/0_in

R1(config-ext-nacl)#permit tcp host 10.0.1.10 host 10.0.0.2 eq

30-1 NAT Configuration Lab Exercise
In this lab you will configure static and dynamic Network Address Translation, and Port
Address Translation.
PC1, PC2, Int-S1 (internal server 1) and Ext-S1 (external server 1) are Cisco IOS routers
mimicking end hosts. They have been configured with IP addresses and a default static
route to their default gateways.
R1 is the WAN edge router at your company, it has a default route pointing to the Service
Provider router SP1.
You have bought the range of public IP addresses 203.0.113.0/28.
203.0.113.1 is assigned to the Service Provider default gateway SP1, 203.0.113.2 is
assigned to the Internet facing F0/0 interface on your router R1.
203.0.113.3 203.0.113.14 are your remaining available public IP addresses.
Note that entries in the NAT translation table age out quickly. Send the traffic again if
you do not see the expected results in the table.
Lab Topology
Download the 30-1 NAT Configuration.gns3project file here. Open in GNS3 to load the lab.
Static NAT
1) Int-S1 is your companys web server. It must be reachable from external customers
browsing the Internet. Configure NAT on R1 so that external customers can reach
the server using the public IP address 203.0.113.3. Do not change any IP addressing
or routing information.
2) Enable ICMP debugging on Ext-S1 with the command debug ip icmp.
3) Ping Ext-S1 from Int-S1 to check the NAT rule is working and you have connectivity.
4) Check the debug output on Ext-S1 and verify the ping echo reply was sent to Int-S1s
global address 203.0.113.3.
5) Telnet to 203.0.113.3 port 80 from Ext-S1 to verify that external customers on the
Internet can reach your web server.
You will see the output shown below if your configuration is working:
EXT-S1#telnet 203.0.113.3 80
Trying 203.0.113.3, 80 ... Open
6) Verify the ping and Telnet connections appear in the NAT translation table. Note that
entries age out quickly so generate the traffic again if you did not check the table
quickly enough.
7) Type exit to break the Telnet connection on Ext-S1. You should see the output
shown below:
EXT-S1#telnet 203.0.113.3 80
Trying 203.0.113.3, 80 ... Open
exit
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

Dynamic NAT
8) Configure NAT on R1 so that PCs in the 10.0.2.0/24 subnet have connectivity to

external networks on a first come first served basis. Assign global addresses from
the range 203.0.113.4 to 203.0.113.12. Do not enable Port Address Translation.
9) Turn on NAT debugging on R1. Ping Ext-S1 from PC1. View the debug output on R1.
You should see NAT entries for the 5 pings. Which global address was PC1
translated to?
10) Check the ICMP debug output on Ext-S1 and verify the ping echo reply was sent to
PC1s global address.
11) Verify the ping connection appears in the NAT translation table.
12) When all the addresses in the pool 203.0.113.4 to 203.0.113.12 have been
allocated, what will happen when the next PC tries to send traffic to an external host?
13) Enable Port Address Translation so that the last IP address in the range can be
reused when all IP addresses have been allocated to clients.
14) Cleanup: Completely remove the access list and all NAT configuration from R1. Use
the commands show run | section nat and show access-list to verify all
configuration is removed.
Port Address Translation PAT
15) Your company no longer has a range of public IP addresses. Instead you will receive
a single public IP address via DHCP from your service provider.
Shutdown interface F0/0 on R1 and remove its IP address. Reconfigure it to receive

its IP address via DHCP from the service provider router SP1.
16) Bring the interface back up and wait for DHCP. What IP address is it assigned?
external networks on a first come first served basis. Allow multiple PCs to reuse the
IP address on interface F0/0 on R1. Ensure that NAT continues to work if the DHCP
address assigned by the provider changes.
18) Turn on NAT debugging on R1. Open a Telnet session from PC1 to Ext-S1, using
the password Flackbox.
19) View the debug output on R1. Which global IP address and source port was PC1
translated to?
20) Open a Telnet session from PC2 to Ext-S1. Which global IP address and source port
is PC2 translated to?
21) Verify the connections in the NAT translation table.
22) Show the NAT statistics on R1.

30-1 NAT Configuration - Answer Key
In this lab you will configure static and dynamic Network Address Translation, and Port

203.0.113.1 is assigned to the Service Provider default gateway SP1, 203.0.113.2 is
assigned to the Internet facing F0/0 interface on your router R1.
203.0.113.3 203.0.113.14 are your remaining available public IP addresses.
Note that entries in the NAT translation table age out quickly. Send the traffic again if
you do not see the expected results in the table.
Static NAT
1) Int-S1 is your companys web server. It must be reachable from external customers
browsing the Internet. Configure NAT on R1 so that external customers can reach
the server using the public IP address 203.0.113.3. Do not change any IP addressing
or routing information.
Int-S1 needs a fixed public IP address so we must configure static NAT. Configure the F0/0
interface facing the Internet as the NAT outside interface.
R1(config)#int f0/0
R1(config-if)#ip nat outside
Configure the F1/0 interface facing Int-S1 as a NAT inside interface.
R1(config)#int f1/0
R1(config-if)#ip nat inside
Configure a static NAT rule mapping the inside local address 10.0.1.10 to the global IP
address 203.0.113.3.
R1(config)#ip nat inside source static 10.0.1.10 203.0.113.3
2) Enable ICMP debugging on Ext-S1 with the command debug ip icmp.
EXT-S1#debug ip icmp
3) Ping Ext-S1 from Int-S1 to check the NAT rule is working and you have connectivity.
INT-S1#ping 203.0.113.20
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 203.0.113.20, timeout is 2

It will not get a global IP address because they have all been given out. The traffic will fail.
The user could try again after waiting for a translation to time out and its global address to be
released back into the pool.
13) Enable Port Address Translation so that the last IP address in the range can be
reused when all IP addresses have been allocated to clients.

32-1 IPv6 Routing Configuration - Lab Exercise
This lab continues where the last one left off. You have configured IPv6 addressing for a
small campus network, now you need to configure routing between the different IPv6
subnets.
You will configure static routes, OSPF and EIGRP. Note that in a real world environment you
would pick one of these options rather than configuring all of them.
Routers R1, R2 and R3 have been configured with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. IPv4 routing
has been configured on the existing network but IPv6 routing has not.
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and default static routes to their default gateways have been
added for both IPv4 and IPv6.

not? Verify this.
The routes learned via EIGRP will replace the OSPF routes as they have a better

default. These routes will main in the routing table as they have a longer prefix match than
the /64 learned via EIGRP)

33-1 WAN Configuration - Answer Key
You will configure PPP with PAP authentication for a single leased line in New York site 1.
You will configure MultiLink PPP with CHAP authentication for New York site 2.
You will configure PPPoE for the DSL connection in the Boston office.
Finally you will configure a GRE tunnel between New York site 1 and Boston.
The SP1 and SP2 routers have already been configured at the service provider.
EXT_S1 is an external server at 203.0.113.18 which can be used to test Internet

Host Setup
1) Configure the IP address and default gateway on PC1, PC2 and Ext_S1 as shown:
PC1> ip 10.0.0.10/24 10.0.0.1
PC2> ip 10.0.1.10/24 10.0.1.1
EXT_S1> ip 203.0.113.18/30 203.0.113.17

PPP with PAP Authentication
2) Configure the leased line from router NY-CPE1 to the service provider router SP1
Interface Serial 4/0 is used on both sides of the link.
The service provider has instructed you to configure PPP with PAP authentication
using the username NY1 and password Flackbox.

7) Do you expect PC1 to be able to ping the external server at 203.0.113.18? Why or
PC1 is using a private IP address and NAT has not been configured so it will not be able to
ping the external server.
PC1> ping 203.0.113.18

At this point we would normally configure NAT to allow Internet connectivity from the PCs in
New York site 1 (and also configure security) but it is not required in this lab.
MultiLink PPP with CHAP Authentication
8) Configure a MultiLink PPP leased line from router BOS-CPE to the service provider
router SP2 according to the network topology diagram.

20) Do you expect PC1 in New York to be able to ping PC2 in Boston? Why or why not?
Verify this.
PC1 will not be able to ping PC2. The GRE tunnel is up but routing has not been
configured to send any traffic over the tunnel.
PC1> ping 10.0.1.10

7) Show the running configuration on R1. Can you read the enable password and secret
in plain text?
8) Ensure that passwords will not show in plain text in the output of show commands.
9) Verify the enable password is now encrypted when you show the running
configuration.
Secure Remote Telnet and SSH Access
10) Enable synchronous logging on R1 and ensure administrators are logged out after
15 minutes of activity on the console and virtual terminal lines 0-15.
11) Allow the administrator workstation at 10.0.0.10 to Telnet into R1 using the
password Flackbox3. Ensure no other host has Telnet access to the router.
12) Ensure that users attempting to Telnet into the router see the message Authorised
users only
13) Verify you can Telnet into R1 from PC1 and enter Privileged Exec mode. Close the
Telnet session when done.
14) Verify Telnet access fails from PC2.

15) Configure R1 so that administrators will be prompted to enter a username and
password when they attempt to Telnet into the router. Use username admin and
password Flackbox4.
16) Verify you are prompted for a username and password when you attempt to Telnet
to the router.
17) Allow the administrator workstation at 10.0.0.10 to SSH into R1. Use the domain
name flackbox.com and a 768 bit key.
18) Verify you can SSH into R1 from PC1. Close the session when done.
19) Do you expect to be able to SSH to R1 from PC2? Why or why not? Verify this.
20) You can currently access R1 using either Telnet or SSH. Telnet is an insecure
protocol as all communication is sent in plain text. Configure R1 so that only SSHv2
remote access is allowed.
21) Verify you cannot Telnet into R1 from PC1 but can SSH. Exit when done.
22) What username and password do you need to use to login when you connect
directly to R1 with a console cable?
23) Configure R1 to require no username but a password of Flackbox5 to login over the

I suggest speaking to your manager at work to expense the cost. This training will
significantly boost your value to the business, and any manager Ive ever worked for would
agree to pay $10 for this quality of training in a heartbeat. This investment in you is a no
brainer for your company.
Q. Who is the Cisco CCNA course for?
Anyone who wants to pass the Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching 200-125 exam
and start or improve a career in networking.
IT helpdesk engineers who are interested in careers such as network engineers,
network administrators, systems administrators, or solution architects. This course
can help start your career journey into these fields.
Network engineers who are not Cisco CCNA certified or who have an expired
certification. Even if youre an experienced professional, youll fill gaps in your
knowledge and master concepts like IPv6, EIGRP, OSPF, and BGP in this course.
IT professionals who want a comprehensive resource on Cisco networking theory,
configuration and troubleshooting.
Q. Is the course right for me?

I could go on and on about why I think my course is the best Cisco CCNA training resource
available, but instead Ill let you hear from some of my students whove already enrolled.
The course has achieved an absolutely stellar 4.9 out of 5 rating from student reviews.
You can see all the reviews by scrolling to the bottom of the course page. Udemy enforces
stringent quality checks to ensure all reviews are genuine.
Q. Is there an easy way to pay for the course?
Ask your manager at work if they can pay for it or if you can put it on expenses. Seriously,
$10 is an insanely low price for this training. Your workplace is used to paying $5000 to send
you on a training course and they have to cover your absence for a week. My course
includes way more content than youd get in a classroom, it doesnt take you away from your
desk for a week and it costs $10. No brainer.
Q. Why would I take training from you?
I am a full-time professional instructor who has been entrusted by Cisco since 2007 to
develop and deliver training courses for their own engineers and partners. I have also
designed multiple training courses for the largest service providers in Asia Pacific such as
Verizon, Telstra, and the Australian National Broadband Network. I provide mentoring and
support for my companys systems engineers as they deploy Cisco networks and I worked in
the field for over ten years before focusing on passing my knowledge on to others.
Q. What if I have any questions during the course?
Ask away, Im always here to help. There is an Ask a Question tab specifically for this in the
course and unless Im on an international flight Ill answer the same day.
Q. How long do I have access to the course for?
You have access to the course forever, your enrolment never expires. And you have access
to me for as long as Im still breathing, I genuinely love to help.
Q. What if I buy the course and realise it is not for me?
The course comes with an unconditional risk-free 30 day money-back guarantee thats my
personal promise of your success.
Q. Is the course worth it?
Lets break it down
The course contains over 30 hours of High Definition video tutorials, live demos, flashcards
and lab exercises and covers everything you need to know to pass the Cisco CCNA. Yours
to access forever.
It offers an easy to understand, structured approach to shortcut your path to mastering
Cisco networking to the CCNA level and beyond.
If you took a comparable course in the classroom it would cost you thousands of dollars. And
when it was over you couldnt experience the tutorials again or ask the instructor any more
questions.
You can make this investment in your future for the price of a pizza. That is INSANE value!
