Lab & Homework Assignments

Lab Reports

For each chapter having lab activities you will need to submit one lab report which covers all of the lab activities listed below in the chapter. Submissions are made through the NetAcad site. You do not need to submit answers to the questions in the activities, those are for your own learning use only. Lab activities may include remote equipment access or campus equipment. Good lab reports in this class are typically 400-700 words long. Each lab report is worth up to 20 points.

If you have not done lab reports in one of Dr. Franske’s classes before, or you want to try and score better on lab reports, be sure to check out the instructions for writing lab reports page and example reports!
When Using Netlab Remote Lab System

  • The login password for CAASP Pod PCs in Netlab is: Cisco123

  1. Lab 1.1.2 - Implement Inter-VLAN Routing

  2. Lab 2.1.2 - Observe STP Topology Changes and Implement RSTP

  3. Lab 3.1.2 - Implement Advanced STP Modifications and Mechanisms

  4. Lab 4.1.2 - Implement MST

  5. Lab 5.1.2 - Implement VTP

    In Part 2, step 2c of this lab you are asked to create vlan 2048 on switch D1. You will encounter an error when trying to do this. There is a note about the error in the lab but it is wrong. VTP version 1 or 2 cannot do extended range vlans (above 1005) regardless of the type of IOS on the switch. Only VTPv3 supoports these. Instead of vlan 2048 you can create vlan 948 and see the same thing (that it is not created on D2 or A1 automatically through VTP because they are now in a different domain).

  6. Lab 5.1.3 - Implement EtherChannel

  7. Lab 5.1.4 - Tuning EtherChannel

    In Part 2, step 2a-d of this lab you are asked to configure an LACP EtherChannel bundle between D1 and D2. The directions are a bit unclear but you should configure the ports on both D1 and D2. Be sure the port channel comes up and the ports are included/working in the bundle as expected, if you only configure D2 the port channel won’t come up or work.

  8. Lab 6.1.2 - Investigate Static Routes

  9. Lab 6.1.3 - Implement VRF-Lite

  10. Lab 8.1.2 - Implement Single-Area OSPFv2

  11. Lab 9.1.2 - Implement Mult-Area OSPFv2

  12. Lab 9.1.3 - OSPFv2 Route Summarization and Filtering

  13. Lab 10.1.2 - Implement Multiarea OSPFv3

  14. Lab 11.1.2 - Implement eBGP for IPv4

  15. Lab 11.1.3 - Implement MP-BGP

  16. Lab 12.1.2 - Implement BGP Path Manipulation

  17. Lab 12.1.3 - Implement BGP Communities

  18. Lab 15.1.2 - Implement NTP

  19. Lab 15.1.3 - Implement HSRP

  20. Lab 15.1.4 - Implement VRRP

    If you have a problem activating VRRP on a switch it’s possible the IP Services license is not active. You can go ahead and activate if needed.

  21. Lab 15.1.5 - Implement GLBP

  22. Lab 15.1.6 - Implement NAT

  23. Lab 16.1.2 - Implement a GRE Tunnel

  24. Lab 16.1.3 - Implement IPsec Site-to-Site

    If you have a problem configuring IPSec on a router it’s possible the Security license is not active. You can go ahead and activate if needed.

  25. Lab 16.1.4 - Implement GRE over IPsec Site-to-Site VPNs

  26. Lab 16.1.5 - Implement IPsec VTI Site-to-Site VPNs

  27. Lab 24.1.2 - Use Connectivity Tests and Debug for Network Assurance

  28. Lab 24.1.3 - Implement SNMP and Syslog

  29. Lab 24.1.4 - Implement Flexible Netflow

  30. Lab 24.1.5 - Implement SPAN Technologies

  31. Lab 24.1.6 - Implement IP SLA

  32. Lab 25.1.2 - Install the CCNP Virtual Machine

    You can find the CCNP Virtual Machine OVA file in the CCNP folder on the desktop of each PC in the Pod. Be sure to randomize the MAC address when you import the OVA file.

  33. Lab 26.1.2 - Implement IPv4 ACLs

  34. Lab 26.1.3 - Configure Protections for Passwords and Terminal Lines

  35. Lab 26.1.4 - Configure Local and Server-Based AAA Authentication

    You will be using the CCNP VM in Virtual Box on your Pod PC. Be sure the MAC address of the VM is different on each Pod PC if you run the VM on more than one PC.

  36. Lab 26.1.6 - Implement CoPP

  37. Lab 28.1.2 - Construct a Basic Python Script

  38. Lab 28.1.3 - Use the Netmiko Python Module to Configure a Router

  39. Lab 28.1.4 - Use NETCONF To Access an IOS XE Device

  40. Lab 28.1.5 - Use RESTCONF to Access an IOS XE Device
