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
Please make sure there are no extra VLANs or VTP information on any of your switches after finishing each lab. Follow these instructions to ensure your VLAN and VTP information are cleared on all switches before finishing your lab.

  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

    Before beginning this lab you will want to be sure there are no extra VLANs or VTP information on any of your switches. Follow these instructions to ensure your VLAN and VTP information are cleared on all switches before starting.
    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).
    Before ending this lab please make sure there are no extra VLANs or VTP information on any of your switches. Follow these instructions to ensure your VLAN and VTP information are cleared on all switches before finishing.

  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.

  9. Lab 6.1.3 - Implement VRF-Lite

  10. Lab 8.1.2 - Implement Single-Area OSPFv2

Homework

  • Participate in an online forum discussion (typically 3 quality posts or more) of each chapter on the Cisco Netacad site. See the forum posting page for details. (up to 10 points each chapter based on quality)

Discussion forum posts are usually worth a larger portion of your final grade than most students expect! If you have not done discussion posts in one of Dr. Franske’s classes before, or you want to try and score better on discussion forum postings, be sure to check out the instructions for participating in forum discussions and example posts!
