CCNA Practical Studies (Cisco Certification & Training)

This chapter outlines the lab objectives and physical topology. The following sections contain the lab objectives that will be completed in subsequent chapters:

• Terminal server configuration

• Cisco Catalyst switch configuration

• Cisco router configuration

• IP addressing

• Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

• Interior Group Routing Protocol (IGRP)

• Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP)

• Route redistribution

• ISDN dial-on-demand routing (DDR)

• Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)

• IPX EIGRP

• IPX RIP

• IPX routing redistribution

• Standard access lists

• Extended access lists

• Cisco router operations

• Physical layer configuration

• Basic router and data link layer configurations

• Network layer configurations (routing)

The lab has two componentsthe physical topology and the lab objectives that you must complete. This chapter reviews the physical topology and provides lab objectives to complete. Each following chapter focuses on one section of the lab objectives and takes you step by step through the configuration process for that section. Don't be too worried if some of the objectives don't make sense. We will explain in detail what is to be done to complete the objective in the chapter that covers that task.

The first step is to review the lab diagram. To make certain that you understand the lab objectives, take a look at the physical topology of the lab in Figure 3-1.
