Routing and Switching (CIS-3210) Labs

This document contains a listing of lab assignments for the Routing and Switching class.

  1. Packet Tracer. In this lab, you will download and install Cisco's Packet Tracer tool. You will also use Packet Tracer to model a simple network and configure the devices in that network in a basic way.

  2. Remote Access. In this lab, you will see how to set up remote (telnet or SSH) access to a router. You will also get an introduction to the experimental network.

  3. Static Routing. In this lab, you will configure two routers with static routes that allow them to know about remote networks that are not directly connected to them.

  4. Static Routing with IPv6. In this lab you will use the topology from last week and configure static routes and IPv6 addresses and routes.

  5. RIP Version 2. In this lab you will use PacketTracer to simulate a network with three routers, and then configure those routers to use RIPv2 instead of setting up static routes.

  6. Single Area OSPF. In this lab you will use PacketTracer to configure a single OSPF routing area.

  7. Single Area OSPF v3 (for IPv6). In this lab you will use the experimental network to configure a single OSPF routing area for IPv6.

  8. VLANs and Trunking. In this lab you will use PacketTracer to configure VLANs on two different, interconnected switches and configure a trunk line between those switches.

  9. Trunk-Based Inter-VLAN Routing. In this lab you will use PacketTracer to configure routing between two VLANs using trunk-based inter-VLAN routing.

  10. Basic DHCP. In this lab you will set up DHCP on a router to serve the subnetworks connected to that router.

  11. Network Address Translation. In this lab you will configure a router to serve as a network address translator in two different ways.

  12. Skills Integration. In this lab you will use a number of the skills you developed over this course to create an interesting configuration in the XNetwork.
