Lab Reports

For each module having lab activities you will need to submit one lab report which covers all of the lab activities listed below in the module. 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, campus equipment, or packet tracer activities. Good lab reports in this class are typically 325-650 words long. If you work with a partner on a lab you only need to submit a single lab report for the two of you but it must have both your names on it. 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!

    This lab contains substantial errors! Please make these corrections to your lab before starting:

    • In Part 1, Step 1a '''DO NOT''' "Record the second IP address in the Address Table for S1 VLAN 200 and enter the associated default gateway." this text is an error, you will not use the second IP address from Subnet A for anything special.

    • In Part 1, Step 1b there is no place in the address table to record an address for '''S1 VLAN 1'''. Instead you should "Record the second IP address in the Address Table for '''S1 VLAN 200''' and enter the associated default gateway."

    • In Part 1, Step 1c You should "Record the second IP address in the Address Table for '''S2 VLAN 1''' and enter the associated default gateway." even though the lab does not mention this.

    • In Part 1, Step 5c you are asked to configure default routes on each router but we have not learned how to do this yet. We’ll learn about this in module 15. Please enter these commands, one on R1 and one on R2, in the configure terminal mode of the router:

    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 10.0.0.1

  14. Lab 8.5.1 - Configure DHCPv6

    In Part 1, Step 4b this lab asks you to configure a default route on each router pointed towards the other router. We haven’t learned how to configure default routes yet though so you can run the following configuration commands (one on R1 and one on R2) to fix this.

    R1(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:2::2
    R2(config)# ipv6 route ::/0 2001:db8:acad:2::1

  15. Lab 11.6.2 - Switch Security Configuration

  16. Lab 13.1.11 - Configure a Wireless Network

    Change the router settings as indicated in the lab, use these for the NEW settings:

    • Router IP Address: 172.17.99.1

    • Router Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

    • Router Name: CCNA-Rxx (replace xx with the number of one of your PCs, found on a sticker on top of the classroom PC under your desk)

    • DHCP Starting IP Address: 172.17.99.21

    • DHCP Maximum Number of Users: 20

    • Router Username: admin

    • Password: Password123!

    • Wireless SSID: CCNA-Wxx (replace xx with the number of one of your PCs, found on a sticker on top of the classroom PC under your desk)

    • Wireless Passphrase: Cisco456!

    NOTE: Do not complete Part 4 of this lab which is listed as optional.

    NOTE: Before packing up your equipment be sure to reset your router back to factory defaults'''

  17. Lab 15.6.2 - Configure IPv4 and IPv6 Static and Default Routes

  18. Lab 16.3.2 - Troubleshoot Static and Default Routes
