Chapter 1: The Cisco Router and Switch Interface
Topics covered:
Cisco IOS
Cisco CLI
Administrative Functions
Configuring Interfaces
Introduction to Cisco Catalyst Switches
Chapter 1: Labs
1.1. Configuring Administrative Functions on your Routers
In this lab you will configure your PxR1, PxR2 and PxR3 routers with
administrative functions (i.e. Hostnames, Banners, Interface
Descriptions, Passwords, etc).
1.2: Configuring your Router Interfaces
In this lab you will configure IP addresses on your PxR1, PxR2 and
PxR3 routers.
1.3: Configuring your Catalyst Switch
In this lab you will configure your local pod switch PxS1.
1.4: Configuring your Core Router and verifying your Internetwork
In this lab you will connect your routers and switches to your pod
partner’s equipment by configuring a core router that connects the
two pods together. You will configure RIPv2 routing, and then verify
the connectivity by using the ping program.
Chapter 2: Managing a Cisco Internetwork
Topics covered:
Copying and saving the IOS and configuration
Troubleshooting Cisco networks
Chapter 2: Labs
3 Copyright Course Outsource 2008. Firstlogic
2.1: Copying the Cisco IOS to a TFTP Host
In this lab you will copy the IOS from your PxR3 router to a tftp
server.
2.2: Backing up and restoring the configuration of your routers and switch
In this lab you will copy the configuration from your routers and your
switch to a tftp host and then restore the files.
2.3: Using CDP to gather information
In this lab you will use CDP on your PxR2 router to gather
information about the locally connected Cisco devices.
2.4: Building a Hosts table
In this lab you will build a hosts table to resolve hosts names.
Chapter 3: TCP/IP Addressing and Subnetting
Topics covered:
IP Addressing
Class C Subnetting
Chapter 3: Lab
3.1: Written Lab: IP addressing and Subnetting
In this lab you will name the subnet, broadcast and valid host range of
each IP address/mask listed.
Chapter 4: IP Routing
Topics covered:
Basic IP routing
Static Routing
RIPv1 and RIPv2
EIGRP
OSPF
4 Copyright Course Outsource 2008. Firstlogic
Chapter 4: Labs
4.1: Static Routing and Verification
In this lab you will establish static routes between your pod and your
pod partners pod. You will use a default route on your PxR2 router
and static routes on your PxR1 router as well as the backbone router.
4.2: RIP Routing and Verification
In this lab you will configure your network with RIPv2 routing.
4.3: EIGRP Routing and Verification
In this lab you will configure EIGRP routing on all your routers.
4.4: OSPF Single Area Configuration and Verification
In this lab you will configure OSPF, single area, on your network.
4.5: OSPF DR and BDR elections
In this lab you will manipulate the routers that become the DR and
BDR.
4.6: Written Lab: IP Routing
Chapter 5: Advanced TCP/IP
Topics covered:
Class C subnetting review
Class B subnetting
VLSM design and implementation
Discontiguous Networks
Summarization
Chapter 5 Labs
5.1: Written Lab: Class B Subnetting
5.2: Written Lab: Variable Length Subnet Masks and Summarization
Chapter 6: Security
Topics covered:
5 Copyright Course Outsource 2008. Firstlogic
Introduction to Security
Standard Access Lists
Extended Access Lists
Named Access Lists
Chapter 6: Labs
6.1: Configuring Standard IP Access Lists
In this lab you will restrict your PxR1 router from being able to
access your PxR3 router but still allow route updates from your PxR1
router to communicate with your PxR2 router.
6.2: Limiting VTY Access
In this lab you will stop your pod partner’s PyR3 router from
telneting into your PxR1 router by using the “access-class” command.
6.3: Configuring a Named Extended IP Access List
In this lab you will create a named extended access-list on your PxR2
router that will stop your PxR1 router from telneting into your PxR3
router, but you will still be able to ping the router from your PxR1
router.
Chapter 7: Network Address Translation
Topics covered:
Static NAT
Dynamic NAT Pools
Port Address Translation (PAT)
Chapter 7: Labs
7.1: Configuring Your Routers for NAT
In this lab you will configure NAT on your PxR1 router to translate
the private IP address of 192.168.2x.3 of your PxR3 router to the
address of 172.16.1x.3 which is on the subnet between your PxR1 and
Core (corex-y) router.
7.2: Configuring Dynamic NAT
6 Copyright Course Outsource 2008. Firstlogic
In this lab you’ll configure a dynamic NAT pool on the PxR1 router.
7.3: Configuring PAT
In this lab you’ll configure Port Address Translation (PAT) on the
PxR1 router. We will use PAT because we don’t want a one-to-one
translation, but instead we want to just use one IP address for every
user on the network.
Chapter 8: Switching
Topics covered:
Virtual LAN’s (VLAN’s)
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Chapter 8: Labs
8.1: Configuring Trunking, VLANs and VTP
In this lab you will connect to the Core (Csx-y) switch and configure
trunk ports, VLANs and VTP between your switches.
8.2: Written Lab: Switching
Chapter 9: Wireless LAN’s
Topics covered:
802.11
Basic Service Sets (BSS)
Chapter 9: Lab
9.1: Written Lab: Introduction to Wireless LAN’s
Chapter 10: Introduction to IPv6
Topics covered:
IPv6 Addressing
Implementing IPv6

Chapter 11: Cisco WAN Support
Topics covered:
Basic WAN
HDLC
PPP
Frame Relay
Chapter 11: Labs
11.1: Configuring PPP
In this lab you will use the PPP encapsulation method and
authentication between two routers.
11.2: Configuring Frame Relay
In this lab you will configure Frame Relay between you and your
partner using the backbone router as a Frame Relay switch.

In this lab you will issue numerous “show” commands that are useful
in troubleshooting frame relay networks.
