Advanced Network Architectures (CIS-3250) Labs

This document contains a listing of lab assignments for the Advanced Network Architecture class. Not all of these labs are used every semester. However, they are all presented here for reference.

  1. Review of Concepts. In this lab, you will design a small network and configure a router by setting addresses on its interfaces. This lab will give you experience with Packet Tracer and help you review network addressing concepts.

  2. Configuring Basic EIGRP for IPv4. In this lab, you will configure EIGRP across a small network and explore some of its characteristics.

  3. Configuring Multi-Area OSPFv2. In this lab, you will experiment with OSPF to set up a simple 3-area network.

  4. Configuring and Verifying Extended ACLs. In this lab, you will practice configuring access control lists for Cisco routers.

  5. Configuring Extended VLANs, VTP, and DTP. In this lab, you will experiment with VLAN trunking protocol and dynamic trunking protocol.

  6. Configuring Basic PPP with Authentication. In this lab, you will configure a (small) enterprise network consisting of a central office and two branch offices using PPP with CHAP authentication between the offices.

  7. Configuring HSRP. In this lab, you will set up redundant routers on a LAN and configure Cisco's Hot Standby Router Protocol so that local area users have redundant pathways to a wide area network.

  8. Configuring EtherChannel. In this lab you will configure EtherChannel to demonstrate redundant lines between switches for purposes of reliability and increased bandwidth.

  9. Configuring IPv6. In this lab, you will experiment with IPv6 by configuring OSPFv3 routing and VLANs in an IPv6 network using multi-layer switches.
